## What is Sift?

Sift is a recipe box for people who actually cook. Add recipes by hand, file them your way, and cook from a screen that stays on and out of your way.

ADD RECIPES THE WAY YOU THINK ABOUT THEM
Type in a title, ingredients (grouped, if you like), steps and a photo. Your original wording and units are always kept exactly as written. Switch between metric and imperial and Sift converts for display, without ever overwriting what you saved.

COOK MODE
One step at a time in big, readable type, with built-in timers for the steps that need them. Scale the servings up or down and the ingredient list follows; the steps keep their original wording.

FIND AND FILE
Categories let one recipe live in as many places as it belongs: weeknight dinners and baking and the one from your grandmother. Tags describe. Search finds a recipe by its title, its ingredients or its tags.

YOURS TO KEEP
Sift is local-first: your collection lives on your phone, works offline and needs no account. Export the whole thing to a single file whenever you like, and import it back on any device.

Adding, organizing and cooking from your own recipes is free, with nothing locked away.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-01

Add any recipe's ingredients to your list with one tap — quantities scale with servings and merge automatically when they share a unit. Check items off as you shop, and keep a pantry staples list so things you always have on hand don't clutter a fresh list.

Ingredients group by aisle automatically, with manual override and drag-to-reorder
Export straight to Apple Reminders, or share your list as text to anywhere
Mark pantry staples once — Sift skips them on future lists until you need more

### 1.0 — 2026-09-29
