## What is Any Recipe?

Save any recipe — from a website, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, a cookbook page, a photo, or your own handwriting.

Then let AI plan your week, turn it into one smart shopping list, and walk you through cooking step by step.

WHY ANYRECIPE
AnyRecipe is not a recipe content app. It's your own cookbook — everything you've saved, from anywhere, organized your way. No feed, no endless scrolling.

IMPORT FROM ANYWHERE
• Any recipe website — share it straight from Safari
• Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube Shorts and Pinterest
• Photograph a cookbook page, or import from your photo library
• Handwritten cards and family notes — AI reads the handwriting
• Scan several pages at once — multiple recipes are split and saved automatically
• Or write your own

Social posts only work when the creator includes the recipe in the caption. When they don't, there's nothing to read — that's the post's limit, not the app's.

AI MEAL PLANNING
Plan this week, next week, or several weeks ahead. Add recipes yourself, or press one button and let AI build the whole week from your own library — with enough variety that you're not eating the same thing two days running.

ONE SMART SHOPPING LIST
Add a recipe, your whole week, or your own items. Onions from three different recipes become one line with the quantities added up. And when three recipes need 100g, 110g and 250g of flour, we tell you to buy the 1kg bag — not 460 grams.

COOKING MODE
One step at a time, full screen. Tap any ingredient mentioned in a step to see how much you need, without leaving the page. Tap a time to start a timer.

HANDS-FREE COOKING
Turn it on inside Cooking Mode and just say "next step". Your hands stay in the food, your phone stays clean. English for now, more languages coming.

COOKING FOR MORE
Scale any recipe and every ingredient adjusts. Six guests instead of two, no mental arithmetic.

ON ALL YOUR DEVICES
Recipes sync between iPhone and iPad automatically through iCloud. Nothing to set up — and it's free, subscription or not.

Download AnyRecipe and build the cookbook you've always wanted.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2024-09-11, version 2.1.1*

The developers definitely know what they are doing and I love the app!

### 4/5 — Great recipe manager app with a few suggestions.

*2024-08-17, version 1.8.7*

As someone who cooks for my family daily, this app has become an indispensable tool in my kitchen. The clean design makes it easy to navigate, and the ability to organize recipes across all my devices is fantastic. The recently introduced search feature has made finding specific recipes even more convenient, which I really appreciate. 

However, there are a couple of features that could make this app perfect. A batch cooking feature would be a great addition for those of us who like to prep meals in advance.

The timer feature is simple to set up and works well, but I've noticed that the notification sound only plays once when the timer ends. If you miss it, your meal could end up overcooked or burned. It would be helpful if the developers could add an option for repeated notifications until acknowledged.

Lastly, the grocery list feature is quite handy, especially with the way ingredient quantities are merged. However, I've found that many items are categorized as "uncategorized," which means I often have to manually assign categories. It seems like it would be straightforward for the app to automatically categorize common ingredients—for example, placing salad under vegetables, and cheese under dairy.

Overall, I love this app and use it every day. With a few tweaks, it could easily become a five-star experience!

### 3/5 — I used all those saved recipes, then I was disappointed

*2024-07-11*

I used to love adding them to my recipe, and I keep adding it. Then I instantly closed it, and I tried to reopen it, but it didn't show up on my face. I thought it was updated, as they are my favorite. Also, I purchased it for $10. I don't want to lose them, and I 😭 Please tell me what's going on!!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review and feedback. We understand your concern and want to assure you that your recipes will not be lost. The issue you described will be fixed in the next version, so you don’t have to worry. We appreciate your patience and understanding. If you have any further concerns, please let us know. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Parfait

*2024-06-21, version 1.8.1*

Rien à dire au sujet de cette application très simple d’utilisation qui devient très utile au quotidien ; permettant de noter et d’appliquer listes de courses et recettes. Les plus nuls en cuisine comme moi se voient ravis de découvrir des recettes dans la section découvrir de l’application. Dommage qu’il y ait certains défauts de traduction. Je met alors 5 étoiles à l’application et espère aussi qu’elle fera de moi un chef étoilé.

### 5/5 — App géniale !

*2024-06-16, version 1.8.0*

J’aime trop l’app! Franchement trop simple à utiliser. Et la version pro a l’air bien meilleure mais un peu chère!! La liste de course est super pratique.

### 5/5 — Fluide et facile à utiliser !

*2024-06-16, version 1.8.0*

J’adore cette application ! Le design est épuré et facile à utiliser. La fonction liste de courses est un vrai plus. Je recommande vraiment !

### 1/5 — App keeps crashing after purchasing pro plan

*2024-06-13*

Started using this app last week and it continues to crash on me. More often it crashes after I purchased the PRO $10 upgrade. I like the concept of the app but I can’t use it if it’s crashing. Also would like the option to remove RSS saved recipes from discover. No option available to remove recipe from your book once added from discovery. Moreover if the recipe is added from discovery you cannot add anything to your grocery list. This app has potential and hopefully developers see this and reevaluate.

**Developer response:** Sorry for the trouble you’re experiencing. The crashes are more concerning and will be fixed ASAP. Adding features to remove saved recipes and allow adding items from Discovery recipes to your grocery list will either come at the same time with the next update or as a separate update. Thanks for your feedback—it helps improve the app!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 6.2 — 2026-08-17

Cook from any recipe, in your own numbers. That is what 6.2 is about.

Read it in your units
Switch any recipe between US and metric with the new scales button, or set it once in Settings for every recipe. Cups of flour become the grams a scale actually shows, and a recipe that says 350°F reads 180°C in the steps too. Your choice sticks per recipe, so grandma's cake can stay in grams forever.

Scale it in one tap
Halve, double or triple a recipe with the new buttons above the ingredients. Every amount recalculates from the original, so going back is always exact.

Translate it
A recipe in another language now translates right on your iPhone. It is free, nothing leaves your device, it works offline once the language is downloaded, and the author's original is always one tap away.

Smarter imports
Recipes that never say how many they serve now arrive with a realistic serving count, read from their actual quantities.

Fixes worth knowing about
• Editing tags or notes no longer removes the recipe's photo.
• Tags on recipes in a shared household library no longer disappear after a restart.
• Shopping lists now combine amounts correctly in French, German, Dutch and Spanish.

### 6.1 — 2026-08-14

Hands-free now works wherever you cook in English
Voice control was quietly limited to the US. If you cook in the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia or anywhere else in English, cook mode now listens for "next" and "back" like it always should have. Where it genuinely can't work, the button is no longer there to tap.

Shop by the pack, in your language
Your shopping list can show what you actually lift off the shelf: 2 cans, 1 bag, 250 g of butter. That used to work in English only. It now works in French, German, Dutch and Spanish, and if you shop in the US you'll see US pack sizes instead of European ones.

A list that reads like a cook wrote it
• Scaled amounts read the way you'd say them out loud
• Ingredient rows keep both halves of a dual measurement, and words like "cloves"
• Tinned tomatoes go with the tins and fresh ones with the produce, in every language
• Recipes in different languages no longer collapse into one confusing line

Fixed
• Adding a recipe could freeze while the app read your clipboard
• iPad grids and full-screen pages now use the space they have
• Adding a tag no longer rewrites the whole recipe
• Sync speaks up when something actually fails instead of staying quiet
• Meal tags and timer highlighting now work in German, Dutch and Spanish

Setting up
The setup step now describes what it really asks for: switching AnyRecipe on in your Share menu. You can skip the taste picker if you'd rather get straight in. Permission prompts appear in your language and say plainly what they're for.

### 6.0 — 2026-08-07

A warmer, faster Any Recipe.

Save from anywhere. Share a recipe from Safari, Instagram, TikTok or a blog and
it lands in your library with ingredients and steps already sorted. Pages behind
a cookie banner or a sign-in now import too, because we read the page you're
actually looking at.

Plan your week. Fill the empty meals from your own library, then send the whole
plan to your shopping list.

A shopping list that shops. The same ingredient from three recipes becomes one
line with the amounts added up, sorted by aisle and rounded to the sizes shops
actually sell.

Now speaks German, Spanish, French and Dutch.

Plus a new look throughout: warmer colours, clearer type, and a consistent set
of icons.

### 5.2 — 2026-02-13

The new version focuses on a cleaner experience, improved photo import/OCR, bug fixes, and performance improvements.

### 5.1.1 — 2025-07-27

■ Improvements & Fixes:
- Enhanced overall user experience for smoother, more intuitive interaction
- Accessibility improvements for easier reading across devices
