Snap a photo of any recipe

Got a recipe on paper — a handwritten card, a magazine clipping, a cookbook page? Snap a photo and our AI reads it into a clean, structured recipe in seconds. Screenshots work too, like an Instagram caption (tap “more” first so the whole recipe shows).

1 Tap Add Recipe (the + in the nav).
2 Choose Snap a Photo.
3 Take a photo, or pick from your library — front and back, multiple pages all read together.
4 We pull out the ingredients and steps; review and Save.

Add a recipe to a cookbook

Cookbooks are how you organize recipes. File any recipe into one — or a few — and it appears on those cookbooks’ pages and in the kitchen of anyone who shares them.

1 On a recipe, tap Cookbook.
2 Tick any cookbook to add it there — a recipe can live in several at once.
3 Or type a name and tap + to start a brand-new cookbook.
4 It saves the moment you tap — no extra step.

3 Each time you rebuy an item, we learn your rhythm and flag what’s running low.
4 Tap + List on any staple to send it straight to your grocery list.
