Start with 500+ built-in recipes across Italian, Indian, Korean, Chinese, American, Japanese, Mexican, Thai and Fusion cuisine, then add your own. Smart Recipes is a private cooking companion for people who want one calm place to save recipes, plan meals, shop efficiently, and cook with less friction. SAVE RECIPES Create your own recipes with ingredients, steps, timing, servings, notes, photos, dietary tags, cuisine, difficulty, and favorites. IMPORT FROM THE WEB Use the Smart Recipes Share Extension to queue secure recipe URLs from Safari, then review the parsed recipe before saving it. SCAN COOKBOOKS Pick a photo of a cookbook page or handwritten card. On-device text recognition reads it, and you review the recipe before saving. PLAN THE WEEK Build a meal plan, repeat meals, auto-fill open days, and export planned meals to Calendar. SHOP FROM ONE LIST Generate a shopping list from your meal plan. Ingredients are combined and grouped by grocery aisle. COOK HANDS-FREE Cooking Mode gives you large step-by-step instructions, recipe scaling, timers, Live Activities, widgets, and optional text-to-speech voice guidance. Log each cook with a rating and notes, then revisit them next time. FIND ANYTHING FAST Search by recipe name or ingredient, sort your library by name, rating, or how often you cook it, and filter by diet, cuisine, difficulty, or time. USE WHAT YOU HAVE Pantry Mode helps you track ingredients and find recipes that match what is already in your kitchen. DESIGNED FOR IPHONE AND IPAD A focused single-hand layout on iPhone and a roomy two-column layout on iPad. Print any recipe or share it as a PDF. ON-DEVICE AI ON SUPPORTED DEVICES Generate recipe ideas, substitutions, and variations with Apple Intelligence on compatible devices. There is no cloud AI fallback. APPLE WATCH SUPPORT Browse recipes, ingredients, and cooking steps from your wrist. SIRI AND SPOTLIGHT Ask Siri for a random recipe, quick recipes, favorites, or today's meals with built-in App Shortcuts, and find your recipes from Spotlight search. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no third-party analytics, no tracking, and no DuttLabs recipe server. Recipes are stored on your device and, when enabled, in your personal iCloud account. PLANS AND PRICING Smart Recipes is free to download. Full access requires Smart Recipes Premium after onboarding, available as a Monthly or Yearly subscription, each starting with a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers, or as a one-time Lifetime purchase.
