Meet Coco, a hopping chef's hat named after Cook Coach. Coco has no hands, yet insists on walking you through every recipe, hand in hand. How? Trade secret.
Cook Coach turns a recipe screenshot, a photo or a cooking video into a step-by-step guide you can follow with messy hands.
HAND IT TO COCO
Screenshot a recipe from the web, or photograph one from a book. AI breaks it into clear steps: what to do, which ingredients, how hot, and how long to wait.
PASTE A VIDEO LINK
Found a cooking video on Xiaohongshu, Douyin or Bilibili? Copy the link and paste it in. AI turns the narration and on-screen text into steps, each with a picture from the video. Public videos only.
COOK WITHOUT STARING AT YOUR PHONE
• Big, readable steps with the ingredients, heat level and tips for each one
• Steps that need waiting start a timer, with a countdown on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island and an alarm when it's done
• Say "next step" or "how long left" and keep your greasy fingers off the screen
• Works in landscape, propped up against the wall; with Apple Watch you can hand the whole recipe to your wrist. It keeps time and taps you when it's done, so your iPhone can stay anywhere
• Poke Coco for useful reminders, like prepping the next ingredients while you wait. Poke it too many times and it gets grumpy. Don't ask how we know.
BUILT-IN RECIPES
Home-style dishes, soups, staples and desserts, ready to cook. In English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
KEEP TRACK
• Cooking calendar: see what you cooked and when
• Photo wall: pin your finished dishes, write a note on the back, and tidy them up by date with one tap
• Dish photos are cut out automatically so you can spot them in your list
SHARE TO COOK COACH
See a recipe in another app? Tap Share → Cook Coach and it becomes steps without leaving that app. Recipe web pages work too: just paste the link. You can even set a double tap on the back of your phone to hand the screen to Coco.
BEFORE YOU COOK
• Weekly menu: plan the next seven days and get a reminder at 8 pm the night before, including what to thaw
• Shopping list: add what you haven't ticked off in one tap, or everything on your menu at once
• Scale servings: switch 2 servings to 4 and the ingredients follow
SHARE
Send recipes to friends with a link or share code, or share a whole menu. Sign in to publish your best dishes to the community, which you can also browse on the web at cookcoach.rokajun.com.
No sign-up needed: everything except publishing to the community works without an account. Screenshots are read by our own text-recognition service first, and only the text goes to an AI service to write the steps (the image goes only if the text can't be read); we don't keep them. Videos are deleted once processed; the extracted text and pictures are kept for 30 days so the same video imports instantly next time.
