Tired of scrolling through life stories, pop-ups, and ads just to find a recipe? Simmer extracts the recipe from any website and saves it to your personal, clutter-free library. SAVE RECIPES IN SECONDS Paste a recipe URL or share it directly from Safari — Simmer automatically extracts the title, ingredients, steps, cook times, and photo. No account needed, no sign-up required. HANDS-FREE COOKING MODE Enter full-screen cooking mode with large, easy-to-read step cards. Swipe through steps while your hands are covered in flour. Turn on auto-speak and let your phone read each step aloud using natural-sounding iOS voices. SMART QUANTITY ADJUSTMENT Cooking for more or fewer people? Tap a multiplier and every ingredient quantity updates instantly. Fractions stay clean and readable — "1 ½ cups" not "1.5 cups." READ STEPS ALOUD Tap the speaker icon on any step to hear it read aloud. Simmer intelligently pronounces fractions, temperatures, and abbreviations so "½ tsp" becomes "one half teaspoon" and "350°F" becomes "350 degrees Fahrenheit." YOUR RECIPES, YOUR DEVICE All recipes are stored locally on your device. No cloud accounts, no tracking, no data collection. Your recipes stay private. ADD FAMILY RECIPES BY HAND Not every great recipe lives on a website. Use manual entry to type in grandma's secret recipe with ingredients, steps, and cook times.
