Coolinarka
Recipes from web & Instagram
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Save a recipe with one tap from Instagram, Facebook or the web. Search by ingredient, cook step by step and keep everything backed up in iCloud.
Coolinarka is your personal cookbook. Recipes you find on the web, in Instagram or Facebook are saved with one tap and kept in one place, ready for cooking.
SAVE A RECIPE FROM ANY APP
In Instagram, Facebook or Safari, tap Share and choose Coolinarka. The app fetches the title, ingredients, method and photo. You can also paste a recipe as text, take a photo or import it from a screenshot. If something is missing, you add it by hand. From a video or a screen recording the app transcribes the spoken method right on your iPhone.
FIND ANYTHING
Search by title, ingredient or method, regardless of accents and word endings. Exclusions work too: “chicken -cream”. In Pantry mode you enter the ingredients you have and the app sorts recipes by how much of each you already own.
KEEP IT ORGANIZED
Meal types, tags, favorites and your own collections. The photo of the finished dish is picked automatically and you can change it any time. Incomplete recipes are listed separately so you do not forget to finish them. You can crop, rotate or filter the cover photo.
COOKING MODE
Large text, one step per screen and the display stays on. The app recognizes times in the text and starts timers, several at once. Scale the amounts to fewer or more servings with one tap. After cooking, add a rating and a note about what to change next time.
SHOPPING LIST
In a recipe, tap Shop, uncheck what you already have at home and the ingredients go to your list. The same ingredients from several recipes are added up and scaled to the servings you choose. Check them off in the store. Send the list to Reminders, including a shared family list.
IMPORT, EXPORT AND BACKUPS
Send recipes to friends as a Coolinarka file, print them as a PDF card or share them as text. Import handles a list of links, CSV files and exported WhatsApp chats. Backups run manually or automatically.
YOUR LOOK
Nine color themes, each with its own app icon, light and dark mode and a Larger text switch for comfortable reading. On the home screen a chef greets you with a suggestion for the time of day: breakfast in the morning, soup at lunch, something good in the evening.
ICLOUD
Recipes and photos sync between your iPhone and iPad through your private iCloud. In More > Sync status you can see when it last sent and received. No account, no ads, no tracking.
COOLINARKA PLUS (optional one-time purchase)
Unlocks calories and nutrients for every recipe: an estimate per serving from the ingredients or the value from the recipe source, an ingredient breakdown with your own corrections, a calorie filter and sorting, and nutrition in PDF. Plus a PDF cookbook: your recipes as a beautiful book with a cover, contents and chapters, to print or give as a gift. Values are approximate and not medical advice. Without Plus everything else stays free, including export and backups. The purchase can be shared with your family.
The app is available in English, Slovak, Czech, German, Italian and Polish. Calorie estimates understand recipes in all six languages.
