Deploy KitchenOwl in one click installation.
Self-hosted shared grocery list, recipe manager, and meal planner that keeps the whole household in sync from any device.
What you can build with KitchenOwl
KitchenOwl is an open-source self-hosted grocery list, recipe, and meal-planning app for households. The Flask backend pairs with a Flutter web and mobile UI to keep shopping lists, pantry inventory, and saved recipes synced in real time across every household member's devices — phones in the store, tablets in the kitchen, laptops anywhere else.
Self-hosting KitchenOwl on your own VPS keeps shopping habits, recipe collections, and household routines inside infrastructure you control rather than a free-tier SaaS that monetizes consumer-purchase data. The single-container deployment ships with SQLite for low-resource use, supports unlimited households and recipes, and integrates with mobile apps on iOS and Android for in-store list editing.
Key features of KitchenOwl
Shared shopping lists
Real-time synchronized shopping lists across phones, tablets, and laptops so everyone sees the same list while shopping or planning.
Recipes and meal planning
Save recipes (or import them from URLs), plan meals on a calendar, and auto-generate a shopping list from selected recipes.
Pantry tracking
Track items already on hand so meal planning can subtract them from the generated shopping list and avoid duplicate purchases.
Multiple households
Run separate households on a single instance, each with isolated lists, recipes, and members for shared homes or extended family.
iOS and Android apps
First-party mobile apps connect to your self-hosted instance for fast list updates, offline shopping, and barcode-style item entry.
Smart suggestions
Item suggestions and aisle-aware sorting speed up list creation by learning the items your household tends to buy together.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
