## What is Penne?

Penne keeps your recipes, pantry and grocery list in one place, and does all of it on your iPhone. No account, no servers, no ads, nothing to pay for.

SAVE JUST THE RECIPE
Paste a link and Penne strips the story, the ads and the pop-ups, keeping only the ingredients and steps. Share a TikTok or Instagram caption, a YouTube or Pinterest page, a screenshot, a cookbook page or a handwritten card, and Penne turns it into a recipe you can cook from. Everything you import keeps its source, so nothing is lost.

SCALE TO ANY TABLE
Change the servings and every amount updates, in sensible kitchen fractions. Scale by pan size, or by what you have ("I only have 4 eggs"). Switch between US cups and metric with ingredient-aware weights, not a flat conversion.

COOK HANDS-FREE
Cook mode shows one big step at a time, with the amounts you need on that step. Start timers by voice, see them on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and ask the recipe a question without touching the screen.

COOK FROM WHAT YOU HAVE
Fill the pantry from a photo of your fridge or a receipt. "What can I make?" matches your recipes against it, tells you what you're missing, and suggests swaps from a curated substitution table.

PLAN AND SHOP
Plan the week, then build one merged grocery list from the recipes in it. Sync the list to Apple Reminders. Share recipes, the plan and the list with your household through your own iCloud.

MORE
• Auto-tagging and smart collections
• Remix a recipe into a new version; the original is never overwritten
• Nutrition per serving from bundled USDA data
• Bulk import a folder of recipes from Google Drive or Files
• Tonight widget, export and backup, full Dynamic Type and dark mode

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Penne has no backend. Recipes live on your iPhone and in your iCloud. The on-device intelligence that tags, imports and answers questions runs on your phone; features that need Apple Intelligence step aside cleanly on iPhones without it.

Penne is free, with no in-app purchases or subscriptions.
