## What is Belly?

Plan better. Eat better. Feel better.

belly is your recipe home. Save everything in one place, plan your week, and walk into the kitchen already knowing what's for dinner.

SAVE FROM ANYWHERE YOU FIND IT
Send a recipe to belly from Instagram, Pinterest, or any recipe site, straight from the share sheet. Snap a photo of a cookbook page, paste in text a friend sent you, or write your own from scratch.

YOUR SAVED VAULT
Search, filter, and sort through everything you've saved. Group recipes into playlists for the ways you cook, like weeknight dinners or things worth the effort on a Sunday. Your whole collection, ready to come back to anywhere, anytime.

PLAN WHAT YOU WANT, WHEN YOU WANT
Map out your week in a few taps. Move a meal when Thursday falls apart, because the plan is a note to future you rather than a rule you're locked into. Feel prepared knowing the week is set before it starts.

A GROCERY LIST THAT BUILDS ITSELF
Send your planned meals straight to your grocery list. Ingredients combine on their own, so two recipes calling for garlic become one line, sorted by aisle for the way you walk the store. Add the shampoo and the bin bags too.

COOK WITHOUT INTERRUPTION
No ads, anywhere in belly. Cook mode takes you a step at a time and holds the screen awake while you work, so the recipe stays put when your hands are covered in flour.

SHARE A RECIPE, OR A WHOLE PLAYLIST
Send any recipe as a link that opens for anyone, app or no app, and saves into their own belly in a tap. Playlists share by link too, with an expiry you choose, a list of who has access, and a way to take someone off it later.

WORKS WHERE YOU DO
Everything syncs, so a recipe saved on your phone in bed is there on your laptop the next morning.

belly is in early access, and it's completely free. No credit card. No trial countdown.

Start adding to your belly.

### 2.7.0 — 2026-10-28

Belly is now in French.

Every screen is translated into Canadian and European French, from your grocery list and week plan to cook mode and the emails we send you. Belly starts in your phone's language, and you can change it any time under Language in Settings.

Also in this release:

Share a recipe from your notes straight into belly.

Open a note in Notes or any other app, tap Share, and pick belly. It reads the recipe and fills in the ingredients and steps. In Apple Notes, change Collaborate to Send Copy first.

Also in this release:

### 2.4.0 — 2026-10-03

Get back to your recipes faster after losing signal.

When your connection drops, belly now tells you whether you're offline or can't reach the server. Once you're back online, the screen you're on reloads when you return to the app, and every other tab reloads when you open it, so you don't have to tap Try again on each one.
