Prep Slate
Save, organize & cook recipes
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Prep Slate is the recipe app built for the moment you're actually cooking — hands in flour, timer going, trying to remember if you already added the salt.
COOK WITHOUT TOUCHING YOUR PHONE
• Tap the microphone once in cook mode, then leave your hands where they are
• "Hey Prep, next" moves to the next step — "Hey Prep, go back" returns to the last one
• "Hey Prep, set a ten minute timer" starts one on the step you're on
• "Hey Prep, stop the timer" silences it when it goes off
• Turn it on once and your next cook starts listening too
• On iPhone, in English
COOK MODE THAT WORKS
• Current step and full ingredient list visible at the same time, no switching panes
• Advance a step and the ingredient it calls for rises to the top of the list and lights up
• Tap ingredients to cross them off as you go — synced across all your devices
• Progress survives closing the app — come back to the exact step you were on
• Per-step timers that keep counting even when you switch apps
• Scale any recipe before you start — half batch, double, or cook for 3 when the recipe is for 4
SAVE RECIPES FROM ANYWHERE
• Paste any recipe URL — Prep Slate strips the ads and stories, keeps the recipe
• Share a recipe straight from Safari and it imports without you opening the app
• Upload a photo of a cookbook page or handwritten card — we extract the recipe automatically
• Bring your whole library over from Paprika, Mela, Plan to Eat and others in one import
• Manual entry for recipes that live in your head
SMART ORGANIZATION
• Every recipe is automatically tagged: cuisine, protein, cook time, technique, meal type
• Add your own tags alongside the auto-tags — "Weeknight," "Kid-approved," "Thanksgiving"
• Rename, merge, and delete tags in bulk as your library grows
• Full-text search across titles, ingredients, tags, and notes
• Filter by any combination of tags
MEAL PLANNING
• Schedule recipes onto a calendar with a target eat-time
• A timeline works backward from when you want to eat, so you can see when to start prep
• Adjust serving size per plan without editing the recipe itself
• Rearrange a week — move or trade a meal, or shift the whole week a day
SHOPPING LIST
• Push a recipe's ingredients onto your list, picking what you actually need to buy
• Items grouped by aisle — Produce, Dairy, Meat, Pantry
• Quantities combined by unit, not by word (1 onion + 2 onions → 3 onions)
• Quick-add freeform items anytime
YOUR DATA, ALWAYS
• Export all recipes as JSON or printable HTML anytime — even after your trial ends
• No ads. No recipe discovery feed. No social features. Just your recipes and your kitchen.
Free 14-day trial, then $4.99/month or $39.99/year.
Cook without touching your phone.
Voice control Tap the microphone in cook mode and say what you need: “Hey Prep, next” moves to the next step. “Hey Prep, go back” returns to the last one. “Hey Prep, set a ten minute timer” starts one on the step you’re on. “Hey Prep, stop the timer” silences it when it goes off. Nothing is acted on until it hears its name, and speech is recognized on the phone itself wherever iOS supports it. It listens in English. Turn it on once and your next cook starts listening too.
Ingredients that follow the step Advance a step and the ingredient it calls for rises to the top of the list and lights up, so a twenty-line ingredient list stops being something you scroll through with a knife in your hand.
Ingredient sections Recipes that group their ingredients under headings, like “For the glaze” or “For the dough”, now keep those groups: through import, the editor, cook mode, and the shopping list.
Bring your library with you Export from Paprika, Mela, Recipe Keeper, Copy Me That, Plan to Eat, Cookmate, or Crouton and import the whole file in one go, instead of adding recipes one at a time.
