iPhone

A minimalistic iOS app to manage your personal recipes. No ads, no fuss. Just cooking. ORGANIZE Create, organize, and store your recipes—simple as that. Add ingredients, cooking instructions, categorize and/or tag by e.g. meal type, and search through everything instantly. COOK Set serving sizes and scale ingredients up or down with a tap. Bookmark the recipes you need for tonight and keep them within reach while you cook. IMPORT Select a JSON file with your recipes and the app handles the rest. There's a template you can export to see the exact format. You can also use Apple Shortcuts to import recipes programmatically from images or websites! SHARE & EXPORT Tap the share button on any recipe and send it via AirDrop, Messages, Mail—whatever works. Recipients with the app can import it directly. Or export your entire collection as a JSON file and import it back in whenever needed.

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Divide ingredient lists and instructions into sections — handy for a cake with a separate frosting, or a marinade alongside the main dish. Also new: tap ingredients and instructions in the cooking view to "check them off" as you go. Swipe right on any recipe in the list to duplicate it in one step. And use the linked Shortcuts to dictate recipes or save recipes from images or websites.
