About
Helpings gives your household one shared kitchen: every recipe, the shopping list, and the week's plan, live on every phone.
One recipe box for everyone.
Your partner saves a recipe, you see it instantly. Ratings, notes, folders, and cook history live on the recipe, so "we made this and doubled the garlic" is still there next month.
Bring recipes into one place.
Paste a supported link, browse inside the app and tap Import, or photograph a cookbook page, recipe card, or handwriting. Multi-page recipes work too: photograph the ingredients and method pages, then review one combined recipe.
Keep the source recipe, scale when you need it.
Helpings preserves the recipe and its original yield as written. Change the serving scale on the recipe screen for tonight without overwriting the saved source.
A shopping list that stays out of your way.
Ingredients land on a shared list, sorted by the aisles of your store, in your store's order. Quantities merge instead of stacking ("1 onion" plus "half an onion" becomes one line). Check things off on either phone and both update live.
Plan the week in minutes.
Drop recipes onto the week, then build the shopping list from the plan in one tap.
Cook Mode.
Big type, the screen stays awake, timers pull straight out of the steps, and finishing a cook logs it to the recipe's history. Snap a photo of how it came out and it stays with the recipe.
Switching from Paprika?
Import your whole box from a .paprikarecipes export, photos included, free.
Your data stays portable.
Export your kitchen data as a file and restore it later. Helpings is built to make moving in and moving out possible.
Built for real households: partners, families, roommates. One kitchen, everyone helping.

What's New in Helpings
1.14.1
September 24, 2026
Faster, steadier opening. Your saved kitchen opens right away, even with no signal, and catches up when you reconnect. No more waiting on the splash screen or landing on sign-in while offline. Fixed a crash in Kitchen Memory, and a sign-in problem after your iPhone had been locked. Screens load faster. Sign out works offline, and asks first if shopping checks have not synced. Email addresses are checked before sign-in, sign-up and password reset. The share code now lives under Kitchen Members.
