No account needed to get started. Open the app and start recording recipes, running AI analysis, and building your shopping list right away. Sign up later when you want to publish, like, or share with family — your recipes carry over seamlessly.

- Track cooking time, servings, and tastiness (5-star rating)

■ Easy Registration with AI
Paste a URL or photo and AI analyzes the recipe automatically. Websites, recipe services, handwritten notes, and cookbook photos all work. Foreign recipes are translated automatically.

■ Shopping List
Add ingredients from any recipe with a single tap. Items are sorted into categories — vegetables, meat, seafood, seasonings — and identical items merge quantities automatically. Share the list with notes and source recipes included.

Record photos and notes every time you cook the same dish, and look back from your first attempt to your latest. Review cards show your progress.


■ Cook Mode
Tap "Start Cooking" on a recipe to see each step one at a time in large text. The screen stays awake while you cook. On iPad, an ingredient checklist sits alongside the steps.

■ Kitchen Report (Pro)
Your cooking count, streaks, genre trends, monthly activity, and most-cooked recipes — all in clean charts. Switch between this month, 3 months, 1 year, and all time.
■ Weekly Reminder
A gentle notification every Sunday at 8:30 PM to look back on this week's dishes. Build the habit of saving what you cooked. Toggle anytime in settings.

■ Search by Recipe Name or Ingredient

■ Organize with Folders
Classify and manage recipes by folder. Create your own categories like "Weekday Quick Meals" or "Party Dishes."

■ Community Signatures
Share your signature recipes and discover other users' dishes for inspiration. A New Recipes section highlights just-shared dishes, and likes you receive show on your recipe list. Copy any recipe and make it your own.

Browse a user's profile to see all their signature dishes and add them to your Favorites for quick access.
