## What is BaoBei Kitchen?

BaoBei Kitchen is your personal recipe manager and meal planner. Create, organize, import, and cook your favourite recipes with ease — on iPhone and iPad, in sync across all your devices.

RECIPE MANAGEMENT
• Create recipes with ingredients, step-by-step instructions, and photos
• Import recipes from any URL — paste a link, or use the Share Sheet from Safari directly into BaoBei Kitchen
• Import recipes from a photo — scan a cookbook page with the built-in document scanner or pick up to 5 images, and on-device text recognition reads the title, ingredients, and steps straight into a new recipe (works from the Share Sheet too)
• Multi-photo carousel for each recipe
• Categorize recipes (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and more)
• Scale servings up or down — ingredients and instructions adjust automatically
• Convert between imperial and metric measurements
• Log each cook with notes, ratings, and photos
• Share recipes with friends — they tap your link to import the recipe into their own BaoBei Kitchen

MEAL PLANNING
• Plan your meals for the week with a visual calendar
• Day and week views for flexible planning
• Multiple recipes per meal slot (main + sides)
• Weekly meal prep reminders

GROCERY LIST
• Add recipe ingredients to your grocery list with one tap
• Smart merging combines duplicate ingredients automatically
• Auto-categorizes items (Produce, Meat, Dairy, and more)
• Export to Apple Reminders for collaborative shopping
• Bulk-add from your meal plan with serving adjustments

BROWSING & FILTERING
• Grid and list views with persistent preference
• Filter by category, protein type, cuisine, and cook time
• Full-text search across recipes, ingredients, and steps
• Favourites for quick access

ICLOUD SYNC
• Your recipes, meal plans, and grocery list sync automatically across iPhone and iPad
• Private — synced via your iCloud account, never to our servers

Sections for your recipes. You can now group ingredients and steps under headings like Marinade, Sauce or To Serve. Collapse the ones you're done with while you cook, and rename or reorder them whenever you like.

Combine recipes into one meal. Making a bowl out of your chicken, your rice and your sauce? Tap the plus button and choose Combine Recipes (or use the menu inside the editor) to pull saved, imported, scanned or brand new recipes together. Each one becomes its own section, with the amounts adjusted to match your servings. Combined recipes are copies, so the originals stay exactly as they were.

Photos. Drag no more. Move a photo left or right, or make it the cover, right from the photo itself.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-06-05
