Recipe Saver and Cooking Buddy ! Add here from a link, friend, or photo and store your recipes with built in timers to help you cook, live !
Llamas Cookbook is the recipe app my wife wanted— so I built it for her.
Snap a photo of your handwritten card, paste a link from that food blog with 14 ads, or just type one in. The llama figures out the title, ingredients, and steps so you don't have to. Edit anything that looks off, hit save, and it's yours forever — offline, no account required to get started.
When it's time to actually cook, tap Start Cooking. You get one ingredient at a time, big readable steps, and timers that ring on your lock screen even if your hands are covered in flour.
— FEATURES —
• Import recipes three ways: snap a photo, paste a link, or type it in. The llama parses titles, ingredients, steps, servings, and tags.
• Your cookbook, your way: tag recipes, mark favorites, scrub the A–Z index, filter by category.
• Cook Mode: step-by-step view, ingredient checklist, scalable servings, and timers that fire on your lock screen via Live Activities — even with the app closed.
• Built-in tools: unit conversions (cups ↔ grams ↔ ml) and a sourdough hydration calculator.
• Photo galleries: add as many shots of your bakes as you want. Favorited recipes get a little heart-shaped thumbnail.
• Share Sheet support: send a recipe URL from Safari straight into the app.
• Home Screen widgets and Live Activities for in-progress cooks.
• iPhone + iPad, fully native. Dark mode. Custom accent colors.
• Works fully offline. Your recipes live on your phone first.
Don't forget to choose your favorite color!
— LLAMA FRIENDS —
Add friends with their handle, browse their cookbooks, and save anything they've shared straight into yours. When someone's mid-recipe, a presence dot with their own hex color tells you they're cooking — perfect for "wait, what'd you put in that?" texts. Nothing is public. No feeds, no follower counts.
— LLAMA PRO —
The free app is the full app — unlimited recipes, cook mode, friends, everything. Pro is for folks who lean on AI photo import:
• Free: 5 photo imports / month
• Pro: 30 photo imports / month
• Pro llamas get a crown (yearly subscribers get sunglasses too)
Text and link imports are unlimited on every plan.
— PRIVACY —
Sign in with Apple. Sync via your own iCloud. No tracking, no ads, no third-party analytics. Your recipes belong to you.

- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Made some optimizations so that the app can run a little faster/smoother. Made color picker clearer and friend requests easier to see :) plus a few more quality of life touch ups.
