What it does
Scan recipe pages into a named family cookbook volume, or import photos you already took
Turn a scanned page into a structured recipe with ingredients and steps while keeping the original image beside it
Use the Prep Plan to see a readiness score, active time, passive time, make-ahead notes, timed steps, shopping needs, and watch points before cooking
Scale servings up or down and convert cups, tablespoons, grams, ounces, oven temperatures, and common kitchen measures offline
Start Cook Mode for a big-text step-by-step cooking view with timers parsed from the directions
Browse a global Recipe Index organized by category
Build an aisle-grouped shopping list from one recipe or multiple recipes at once
Mark shopping items as already on hand so your buy list stays clean
Log every cooking attempt in the Cook Journal with date, rating, and notes
Export a typeset Keepsake Book PDF with a cover, table of contents, and recipe pages
Correct recognized text when handwriting, smudges, or faded ink need a human pass
Add tags, family notes, and memories to every page
It is built for church binders, handwritten cards, flour-dusted notebooks, newspaper clippings, and family margin notes that deserve more than a photo album.
What you can do:
On-device text recognition reads printed and clear handwriting. You can edit anything it misses, and the original photo is always preserved.
Starter recipes are bundled so you can try scanning workflows, scaling, Cook Mode, shopping lists, Prep Plan, and the keepsake book right away.
