## What is Chef Hugo?

Hugo saves the recipes you find on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and others, and turns them into clean recipes you can actually cook. Hugo watches the whole video and reads the creator's pinned comment, so you get every ingredient and every step, not just the caption.

SAVE FROM ANYWHERE
- Share any recipe to Hugo from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or Facebook
- Or paste a link and Hugo imports it in seconds
- Recipe websites and blogs work too
- Hugo reads the pinned comment, where the real recipe often hides

YOUR COOKBOOK, ORGANIZED
- Every recipe you save, in one searchable library
- Group them into collections like "Quick Dinners" or "Date Night"
- Favorite the ones you come back to
- Every recipe keeps a link to the original creator

COOK HANDS-FREE
- Step-by-step cook mode with big, clear instructions
- Per-step timers you start with a tap
- Tap any ingredient to switch between metric and imperial

SHOP THE RECIPE
- Add a recipe, or a whole week, to your list in one tap
- Sorted by aisle, with duplicates merged across recipes
- Check items off as you shop

ASK HUGO
- Chat with any recipe: "make it gluten-free", "scale it to 8", "what can I
  use instead of guanciale?"
- Hugo knows your cookbook, your allergies and your diet, so you never
  repeat yourself
- The recipe updates as you talk, and you keep the original

COOK IT IN YOUR LANGUAGE

Bug fixes and improvements!

### 3.0.1 — 2026-08-26

- Adding push notification option on the import
- Bug fixes and some improvements

### 3.0.0 — 2026-08-24

Save the reel. Know what's in it. Cook it well.

NUTRITION, ON THE RECIPES YOU ALREADY SAVED
That pasta you saved at midnight? Now you can see what's in it — calories
and macros, right there on the recipe. Nothing to weigh, nothing to log,
nothing to retype into a tracker. (They're estimates, and a recipe that
never lists quantities won't show numbers at all. We'd rather show you
nothing than a number we invented.)

HUGO IS FASTER — AND HE KNOWS YOUR KITCHEN
The chat is rebuilt from the ground up. Swap an ingredient, halve the
portions, make it gluten-free, or just ask what to do next — and get the
answer before the onions catch. He remembers your cookbook, your allergies
and how you like to cook.

YOUR IMPORTS COME BACK EVERY WEEK
3 free imports, every week, automatically. Save it now, cook it whenever.

NEW HERE? YOU START WITH 8
Eight free imports on the house — plus a guided example recipe that shows
you exactly how Hugo works. It's free, and it doesn't touch your eight.

Plus a long list of smaller improvements and fixes.

### 2.6.0 — 2026-07-31

Bug fixes and multiple improvements!

### 2.5.0 — 2026-07-16

Now you can import from Facebook Reels!
Also some improvements and bug fixes!
