## What is Quanto Basta?

You have a recipe for 4 and there are 7 people for dinner. Or you have 300 g of flour left and want to know how much of everything else to use with it. Quanto Basta does the math for you.

Type or paste the recipe as it is, even copied from a website: the app recognizes quantities, units of measure and "to taste", in English and Italian, with the metric and US systems. Then choose the servings, or tap an ingredient and tell it how much you actually have. Every other amount updates on its own, in numbers you can read in the kitchen: half a tablespoon stays half a tablespoon, and 1160 g becomes 1.16 kg.

You organize your recipe book however you like, in categories you create. Every recipe has its own photo, the view can be a list or a grid, and there's search. The screen stays on while you cook.

A recipe can be sent to anyone with the app, as a file that opens with a tap, or copied as text with the amounts you just calculated. Your recipe book backs itself up to your iCloud: get a new iPhone or reinstall the app, and it's all there. And whenever you want, you can export it to a file, whole or one category at a time.

No account, no ads, no data collected. Your recipes stay on your phone and in your iCloud, and go nowhere else.

Light and dark theme, English and Italian.
