Cookaburra

Family recipes, planned

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Cookaburra is where your family's favourite recipes live — and how next week's dinners get decided. CAPTURE FROM ANYWHERE Photograph a cookbook page or a handwritten card. Paste a link. Share a recipe site, Instagram, or TikTok post straight into Cookaburra. It reads the recipe — title, ingredients (kept in their sections, like "Marinade" and "Sauce"), steps, times, even the dish photo — and turns it into something you can cook from. Every import lands in a review screen first, so you always have the final say. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Recipe understanding runs entirely on your device with Apple Intelligence. There are no Cookaburra servers, no accounts, no analytics, and no tracking. Your recipes sync through your own private iCloud, and shared recipe links carry the recipe inside the link itself — nothing is uploaded or stored anywhere. COOK WHAT THE FAMILY LOVES Rate how each meal went down and star the keepers. The planner steers you toward well-received dishes you haven't had in a while, handles weekly regulars like taco Tuesday automatically, and can fill your whole week in one tap. Filter any recipe list by ingredient — show only what you can make with the mince in the fridge, or hide everything with mushrooms. WASTE LESS Give pantry items a best-before date and Cookaburra keeps watch: things that need using soon get badged, "Use it up this week" suggests recipes for what's expiring, and Fill My Week leans toward those ingredients too. Optional reminders give you a nudge the day before something turns. SHOPPING SORTED The shopping list writes itself from the week's plan — ingredients aggregated across recipes with quantities and which meal needs them. Tick off what you already have, shop for the rest. And when you're not sure what to make tonight, "What can I cook?" matches recipes against what's in your kitchen. SHARE THE GOOD ONES Send a recipe as a link that works for everyone — friends without the app see a beautiful web version they can cook from; friends with it get the recipe imported in one tap. Post the week's plan to the family chat. Or AirDrop full recipes, photos included, between family devices. FREE TO START, ONE PURCHASE FOREVER The free version does everything, for up to 15 recipes — and you can try each Pro feature a few times before deciding. Cookaburra Pro unlocks unlimited recipes, weekly regulars, Fill My Week, and week sharing — a single one-time purchase, shared with your whole family via Family Sharing. No subscriptions. Note: automatic recipe extraction uses Apple Intelligence and requires a supported device. On other devices, imports arrive as editable text and everything else works exactly the same.

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

This update makes capturing recipes more reliable, helps you use up what you already have, and keeps your library feeling safe on a new device. • Best-before dates for your pantry. Add a date to any item and Cookaburra badges what needs using soon — with an optional gentle reminder the day before. • "Use it up this week." The planner spots what's expiring and suggests recipes that use it, and Fill my week now leans toward those ingredients too. • Filter recipes by ingredient — everywhere. Show only recipes with what you've got, or hide the ones with things you're avoiding. • TikTok and Instagram imports got much smarter. Cookaburra now reads the recipe straight from the post's caption — along with the cover photo — so shared links import what was actually written, not a rough guess. • Try Pro features free. Fill my week, weekly regulars, and sharing can each be tried a few times before unlocking Cookaburra Pro — now also available from Settings. • New "Syncing with iCloud" indicator, so a new phone shows recipes on their way instead of an empty shelf. • Fixed the Cookaburra Pro screen sometimes staying stuck on "the App Store isn't reachable".
