## What is Coolinarka?

Coolinarka is your personal cookbook. Recipes you find on the web, in Instagram or Facebook are saved with one tap and kept in one place, ready for cooking.

SAVE A RECIPE FROM ANY APP
In Instagram, Facebook or Safari, tap Share and choose Coolinarka. The app fetches the title, ingredients, method and photo. You can also paste a recipe as text, take a photo or import it from a screenshot. If something is missing, you add it by hand. From a video or a screen recording the app transcribes the spoken method right on your iPhone.

FIND ANYTHING
Search by title, ingredient or method, regardless of accents and word endings. Exclusions work too: “chicken -cream”. In Pantry mode you enter the ingredients you have and the app sorts recipes by how much of each you already own.

KEEP IT ORGANIZED
Meal types, tags, favorites and your own collections. The photo of the finished dish is picked automatically and you can change it any time. Incomplete recipes are listed separately so you do not forget to finish them. You can crop, rotate or filter the cover photo.

COOKING MODE
Large text, one step per screen and the display stays on. The app recognizes times in the text and starts timers, several at once. Scale the amounts to fewer or more servings with one tap. After cooking, add a rating and a note about what to change next time.

SHOPPING LIST
In a recipe, tap Shop, uncheck what you already have at home and the ingredients go to your list. The same ingredients from several recipes are added up and scaled to the servings you choose. Check them off in the store. Send the list to Reminders, including a shared family list.

WEEKLY MEAL PLAN
Plan breakfast, lunch and dinner for the whole week, even 14 days ahead. Add a recipe with Plan in the recipe detail or by tapping an empty slot. The app fills empty slots from your favorites, and one tap sends the whole week to your shopping list.

IMPORT, EXPORT AND BACKUPS
Send recipes to friends as a Coolinarka file, print them as a PDF card or share them as text. Import handles a list of links, CSV files and exported WhatsApp chats. Backups run manually or automatically.

YOUR LOOK
Nine color themes, each with its own app icon, light and dark mode and a Larger text switch for comfortable reading. On the home screen a chef greets you with a suggestion for the time of day: breakfast in the morning, soup at lunch, something good in the evening.

HOME SCREEN WIDGET
The What to cook today widget shows the meal planned for today. Otherwise it suggests a recipe for the time of day: breakfast in the morning, soup at lunch, a main dish in the evening, preferring favorites and skipping yesterday's dish. Tap to open the recipe.

ICLOUD
Recipes and photos sync between your iPhone and iPad through your private iCloud. In More > Sync status you can see when it last sent and received. No account, no ads, no tracking.

COOLINARKA PLUS (optional one-time purchase)
Unlocks calories and nutrients for every recipe: an estimate per serving from the ingredients or the value from the recipe source, an ingredient breakdown with your own corrections, a calorie filter and sorting, and nutrition in PDF. Plus a PDF cookbook: your recipes as a beautiful book with a cover, contents and chapters, to print or give as a gift. Values are approximate and not medical advice. Without Plus everything else stays free, including export and backups. The purchase can be shared with your family.

The app is available in English, Slovak, Czech, German, Italian, Polish, Hungarian, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Ukrainian. Calorie estimates understand recipes in all eleven languages.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.0 — 2026-11-08

What's new in 3.0: cooking without scrolling.
• Ingredients right under each step, with the amount for your chosen servings.
• Timers are found in the step text, keep running after you close the app and show on the Lock Screen.
• Have a step read aloud and switch units to metric.
• Shopping guide: look up list items in the store right inside the app.
• The meal plan now suggests breakfast dishes for breakfast.

### 2.7 — 2026-11-07

What's new in 2.7:
• Sample recipes are now in your app language, not in Slovak.
• When you change servings and in the shopping list, units stay in the language of the recipe and the app.
• New languages: Hindi, Korean and Simplified Chinese.
• Online shopping: find a list item with one tap at a store in your country or your own online shop. The search word is translated into the store's language, and you add the item to the basket in the store.
• Recipe steps numbered with emoji no longer end up among the ingredients and in the shopping list.
• Change the app language and shopping country right in More.

### 2.6 — 2026-11-06

What's new in 2.6:
• Recipes from reels where the method is only spoken: from a screen recording the app picks out ingredients and steps from the speech, without amounts and without the small talk.
• Cleaner text from recordings: the song title, the author's name and text inside the video no longer end up in the recipe.
• Speech transcription depends on the languages set on your phone.

### 2.5 — 2026-11-03

What's new in 2.5:
• Send a recipe as a ready file: Share sends the recipe with its photo, ingredients and method exactly as you edited it. Your friend saves it in Coolinarka with one tap.
• Anyone who does not have Coolinarka yet gets a download link in the message.
• Ratings, notes and collections stay with you.
• Several recipes at once: select them on the home screen and send them in one file.
• You can still send just the link to the original recipe.

### 2.4 — 2026-11-02

What's new in 2.4:
• Recipes from TikTok: a link saves the caption, author and photo, a one-line recipe is split into ingredients and steps, and a missing method is filled in from the video's captions.
• Recipe from the author's website: when a video description (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook) links to the recipe on a website, the app reads it.
• More reliable import: a recipe you completed by hand is no longer overwritten, a deleted one does not come back, and import no longer fails when speech transcription fails.
• Safer sync and backups: the meal plan is not lost during sync, backups include all photos and do not delete your own files, restoring does not duplicate recipes.
• Smoother photo lists, better accessibility and corrected texts.
