## What is Dilla?

Found a recipe anywhere — a reel, a pin, a blog, a video? Share it to Dilla and keep scrolling. Dilla reads it in the background, writes it out properly with every amount and step, and sends you a notification when it's in your library. No copying, no typing, no screenshots of captions.

WORKS WITH THE WAY YOU ACTUALLY FIND RECIPES
• Instagram reels and posts — even when the recipe is only spoken in the video, Dilla watches and listens, then writes it out
• "Link in bio" recipes — Dilla follows the trail to the creator's site and grabs the real recipe
• TikTok videos, Pinterest pins, recipe blogs, and websites
• Screenshots — share a photo of any recipe and Dilla reads it

BUILT FOR THE COUNTER
• Cook Mode shows one big step at a time, with the exact ingredients that step needs
• Times written in a step become one-tap timers that keep counting while you move on
• The screen stays awake while your hands are covered in flour
• Scale the servings and every quantity rescales
• Edit any recipe, or write one from scratch — free, and it never counts against your monthly imports

PLAN THE WEEK
• Send a recipe's ingredients to your grocery list — just the ones you're missing
• Sort your library by most made, highest rated, or newest
• Rate recipes and track how many times you've cooked them

DISCOVER
• Search for new recipes right inside Dilla and save what looks good on the spot
