Every good cook has a recipe somewhere. Scrawled on a scrap of paper, bookmarked in twelve different tabs, half-remembered from a Sunday at your nan's. Onmenu brings all of it together - and makes sure it actually stays there. Whether you're building your own collection from scratch or rescuing recipes that have been sitting in a drawer for years, Onmenu does the heavy lifting. Scan a photo of a handwritten recipe card, and the app pulls out the ingredients and steps for you. No typing required. Your mum's lasagne, your gran's shortbread, your own sourdough that took three months to get right - all of it, saved properly, for good. And when it's time to actually cook? Onmenu has a focused, step-by-step cooking mode that walks you through each stage without clutter or distraction. Just the next step, right in front of you. No accidentally losing your place, no wiping flour off your screen to scroll back up. What Onmenu does for you: - Recipes that build themselves - paste in a URL, type a few notes, or snap a photo, and Onmenu organises your ingredients and steps automatically. No fiddling with formatting. - Rescue your old recipe cards - photograph any handwritten or printed recipe and Onmenu extracts everything. The handwritten recipe book your family has always had? Now it's - safe, searchable, and shareable. - Focused cooking mode - a clean, step-by-step view that keeps you on track while you cook. Each step front and centre, nothing else in the way. - A family cookbook that grows - share your collection with the people who matter. Build a family cookbook together, pass recipes between generations, and finally have one place where everyone's favourites actually live. - Smart ingredient lists - scale recipes up or down and pull ingredients straight into a shopping list. Cooking for two or feeding a crowd, the maths is done for you. - Find anything, fast - search by ingredient, cuisine, occasion, or whatever's in the fridge. Your whole collection, always at your fingertips. Onmenu is for people who love food and want to spend their time cooking it - not hunting for it, reformatting it, or worrying they'll lose it. Start your collection today.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cherrypick at none against Onmenu's 1. Onmenu's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
