Your cookbooks deserve better than collecting dust. Point your camera at any page and Trawl extracts a clean, searchable recipe in seconds — ingredients, steps, prep time, and tips, all perfectly formatted.
No typing. No transcription errors. Just open, scan, cook.
SCAN ANY COOKBOOK, ANY LANGUAGE
Trawl reads cookbook pages in any language. Whether it's your grandmother's Italian classic, a Japanese baking book, or a dog-eared French paperback, Trawl extracts structured recipes you can actually use. Recipes that span two pages? Trawl merges them into one. A page with three short recipes? You get three — real cookbooks aren't one-recipe-per-photo, and Trawl knows it. Register your cookbooks by scanning the ISBN barcode and organize recipes by book and chapter — just like your shelf, but searchable.
GROCERY LISTS THAT WRITE THEMSELVES
Pick the recipes you want to cook this week. Trawl combines all the ingredients into one consolidated shopping list — no duplicates, no guesswork. Meal prep starts before you leave the house.
YOUR PERSONAL RECIPE ASSISTANT
Ask Trawl anything. Search across your entire collection by ingredient, cuisine, or dietary need. Create new recipes from a description. Import recipes from YouTube videos. The chat assistant understands your library and helps you find exactly what to cook tonight.
AUTOMATIC TAGS & COMPLEXITY SCORES
Every scanned recipe is automatically tagged with dietary labels — vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and more — plus a complexity score so you know what you're getting into on a Tuesday versus a Saturday. Filter and browse without ever tagging anything yourself.
SYNCED EVERYWHERE
Your recipe collection lives in iCloud and stays in sync across all your devices. Scan in the kitchen, shop from your phone, cook from your tablet.
BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO OWN COOKBOOKS
Most recipe apps want you to browse their collection. Trawl is different. It works with the cookbooks you already own and love — the ones with bookmarks, sticky notes, and sauce stains. Your recipes. Your library. Searchable, shoppable, and always with you.
GET STARTED FREE
Scan your first 50 recipes and send 25 chat messages at no cost — enough to try it with your favorite cookbook and see the difference. All recipes you scan are yours to keep forever, even on the free tier.
