About

SnapCookBook

Read full description

Every recipe you cook, in one place. Most of the recipes you actually make aren't online. They're in cookbooks with splattered pages, on cards in the recipe tin, on printouts folded into a drawer. SnapCookBook turns them into one tidy library on your iPhone. SCAN A PAGE, GET THE RECIPE Open a cookbook at a recipe you love and take a photo. SnapCookBook reads the title, ingredients, method, servings and times, and saves them as a recipe you can edit. • Recipes that run over two pages? Scan up to four pages as one recipe. • Handwritten cards from the recipe tin work too. • Anything that was hard to read is highlighted, so you can check it against the original photo, which is always kept with the recipe. • Works offline too: on iPhones with Apple Intelligence, Scans can be read right on your iPhone. YOUR WHOLE SHELF, SEARCHABLE • Every recipe remembers the cookbook and page it came from. • Group recipes into Collections: Weeknight, Christmas, Mum's. • Search by ingredient to find what you can make with what's in the fridge. • Type in the recipes you know by heart, with your own notes. • Star your favourites. COOK MODE (PRO) • Big type and a screen that stays on while you cook. • Scale servings from 4 to 6 or 8. Amounts update as kitchen fractions like ½ and 1⅓. • Tick off ingredients and steps as you go. • Share a recipe as text or print it as a clean PDF. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your recipes sync through your own iCloud, not our servers. • No account, no sign-up, no email address. • No ads and no tracking, in the free version too. • Export your whole library to a single backup file whenever you like. FREE AND PRO SnapCookBook is free to use with 5 Scans every week, unlimited recipes you type in, Cookbooks, Collections, search, iCloud sync and backup. SnapCookBook Pro adds unlimited Scans, Cook Mode with serving scaling, sharing and printing, and new Pro features as they arrive.

Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel them in Settings > your name > Subscriptions.
