Ladle: Recipes & Meal Plan
Import recipes from any link
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New in 1.5: ask Siri what's for dinner, and save recipes from any site without leaving the app.
Every recipe you love lives somewhere else, a food blog, a YouTube video, a screenshot, grandma's card. Ladle puts them all in one beautiful, searchable place, then helps you answer the real question: what's for dinner?
SAVE A RECIPE FROM ANYWHERE
• Paste any link, recipe sites, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Ladle turns it into a clean, structured recipe
• Video recipes are read from the caption and even transcribed on your device
• Snap or share a photo of a cookbook page or screenshot
• Browse any recipe site inside Ladle and save what you find, without losing your place
• Paste plain text, or type it in yourself
• Review every import before it lands in your library
WHAT CAN I COOK TONIGHT?
• Daily suggestions from your own library, based on what you cooked, loved, and haven't made in a while
• Computed entirely on your device. Your taste stays yours.
COOK WITHOUT THE CHAOS
• Hands-friendly cooking mode with step-by-step view
• Multiple named timers with Live Activities on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
• Log every cook with notes, a photo, and a thumbs-up
PLAN THE WEEK, SHOP ONCE
• Drag recipes into a weekly meal plan
• One tap builds the shopping list from your plan
• The list groups itself by supermarket aisle, produce together, dairy together, done
• Today's meal on your Home Screen, Lock Screen, and in StandBy
ASK, DON'T TAP
• "Hey Siri, what's for dinner in Ladle?" and Siri answers from your own plan
• Start a cook, log one, add ingredients to your list, or plan a recipe for a day, by voice or from Shortcuts
• Your recipes turn up in Spotlight, so search from the Home Screen finds them
SHARE THE TABLE
• Family Sync: share your whole recipe box and meal plan with up to 4 family members
• Share any single recipe as a link anyone can open
IN YOUR LANGUAGE
Ladle speaks English, Czech, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Slovak.
FREE TO USE, HONEST WHEN IT'S NOT
The recipe box, meal planner and shopping list are free, no account required. AI-powered imports come with 3 free credits to try. Ladle Premium ($1.99/month or $12.99 once, forever) unlocks cooking mode, photo and batch import, Family Sync and smarter week planning, and comes with 3 AI credits a month, or 30 up front on the one-time purchase. Out of credits? A 10 pack is $1.99. No trials, no tricks, the paywall tells you exactly what costs what, before you tap.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your recipes sync through your personal iCloud. Meal suggestions and video transcription run on your device. We can't read your recipe box, and we like it that way. When an import fails, the app sends us that page's address so we can fix it, with your IP replaced by a code that changes daily.
Made by one person who got tired of losing recipes in browser tabs. Questions or ideas? I answer every message.

Ladle 1.5. Ask and it answers.
• "Hey Siri, what's for dinner in Ladle?" That works now. So does starting a cook, logging one, adding ingredients to your list, or putting a recipe on Tuesday
• Found something mid-scroll? Browse the site inside Ladle and save it without losing your place
• Your recipes turn up in Spotlight now, so home screen search finds them
• Imports read more sites on their own, so fewer recipes cost you a credit
