## What is The Recipe Developer?

Recipe Developer is your personal cookbook — built for cooks who actually cook.

SAVE RECIPES FROM ANYWHERE
See a recipe in a TikTok, an Instagram reel, a YouTube video, or on any website? Share it to Recipe Developer and it does the rest — transcribing and reading it into a clean recipe with the ingredients and method laid out, ready to cook from. Photo carousels become individual recipes automatically. No more screenshotting cooking videos and never finding them again.

NO SETUP — IT JUST WORKS
Open the app and start importing straight away — no account, no sign-in, nothing to configure. You'll have imports ready to go, and you can top up with a pack whenever you need more. Imports never expire and work across all your devices.

DICTATE YOUR OWN RECIPES
Tap "Dictate recipe" and talk through it — title, ingredients, steps. Recipe Developer turns what you say into a structured recipe you can edit and save.

CAPTURE FROM PHOTOS
Snap a cookbook page or pick a screenshot. Recipe Developer reads the text and pulls out a complete recipe.

MAKE IT YOURS
Tag recipes, organise an ingredient catalogue by supermarket aisle, capture cooking skills, and store your own variations. Bulk-edit tags, share by link, and review every import before it lands in your library.

A cookbook for cooks who actually cook. Never lose a recipe again.
