A private digital cookbook your whole family shares — right from your phone's home screen.
AI scanner, meal planner, voice cooking, shopping lists, and more — included in family packages.
Free to start · No app store needed · Works on any phone or tablet
All of these are included on every plan — even the free one.
Save family recipes with photos, stages, stories, and heritage notes.
Every recipe gets its own page with cover photos, an ingredient list, multi-stage cooking steps, and an optional heritage story. Tag by cuisine, difficulty, and prep time. Add co-authors so everyone gets credit.
Each family member plans their own week. See everyone's meals at a glance.
Drag recipes onto any day of the week. Every profile has their own planner so nobody steps on toes. View the full family's week and add all ingredients to your shopping list with one tap.
Add all ingredients with one tap. Quantities merge automatically.
Ingredients are auto-categorised (dairy, produce, meat, etc.) for easy aisle-by-aisle shopping. If two recipes both need eggs, the quantities merge. Tick items off as you shop.
Paste a recipe link — we pull title, ingredients, and steps automatically.
Found a recipe on a blog? Just paste the URL and we extract everything. No more copying from recipe websites filled with ads and life stories. Works with Instagram posts too.
Each member gets their own profile with avatar and preferences.
Create individual profiles with custom emoji avatars, personal allergies, font size preferences, and their own meal planner. Everyone shares the same recipes but has their own space.
Set allergies per profile. Warnings appear automatically on recipes.
Each profile can set their own allergies (nuts, dairy, gluten, etc.). When viewing a recipe that contains an allergen, a clear warning badge appears. Never cook something unsafe again.
Everything above, plus these powerful extras when you choose a family plan.
Snap a photo of any handwritten or printed recipe. AI extracts title, ingredients, steps, and more. Works in any language.
Export a single recipe or your entire collection as a beautifully formatted PDF. Print it, bind it, gift it.
Room for grandparents, cousins, and the whole extended family. Each with their own avatar and preferences.
Snap cooking photos and share them on each recipe. See how different family members plate the same dish.
Leave cooking tips, suggest substitutions, and share notes. Private notes let you keep personal reminders too.

Create profiles for everyone. Each person gets their own avatar, meal planner, allergies, and personal preferences.
