About

Tablée

Features
Read full description

Tablée remembers who ate what at your table — and warns you before you serve the same dish to the same person twice. Your recipes and your groceries revolve around that. GUEST MEMORY You put a menu together and tick who's coming. If one of them already had that dish at your place, Tablée says so, with the date. Everyone's dietary needs are kept once and for all, and each guest has a page: what they tasted, liked, and when. People who eat with you every day are left out of the warning — so the alert stays meaningful. MEAL JOURNAL A meal takes three taps: the day, the dish, the guests. Dishes without a recipe count too — steak and fries is still a meal. Restaurants are part of the journal, with your rating, and your food photos are kept with the memory. The calendar and the feed are one: tap a day, the feed goes there. MENU ASSISTANT Say who's coming. Tablée weighs the season, everyone's dietary needs, what you've already served them and what you haven't cooked in a while — then suggests a starter, a main and a dessert. Diets and allergies are excluded, not merely flagged. Swap anything with one tap. RECIPE BOOK Import from a website by pasting its address, from Safari by sharing the page, or from a cookbook by photographing it — the text is read on your iPhone, nothing leaves it. Sorted by course, filterable, with duplicate detection and a "works for" filter: gluten-free, vegetarian, pork-free… The whole book can be shared with your household. GROCERIES Send a recipe's ingredients to the list: quantities merge instead of piling up, and items file themselves by aisle, in the order you walk the store. And share the list with your household over iCloud: everyone ticks on their own iPhone and it stays in sync — receiving a shared list is free. DELIBERATELY SIMPLE No account to create, no server, no password. No calories, no nutrition, no weight tracking. No social network, no discovery feed. No weekly planner, no auto-generated menus. No subscription. YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU Your recipes, your meals and above all your guests live in your private iCloud, synced across your devices by Apple. There is no Tablée server: nobody, developer included, can read what you served to whom. FREE TO START, PRO FOR LIFE 50 recipes free, forever, with the full grocery list — and a 30-day Pro trial on the house. Tablée Pro is a one-time purchase, no subscription ever: unlimited recipes, the meal journal and guest memory, the menu assistant, web and photo import, multiple and shared grocery lists, themes and colours.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Tablée at every 6 days against My Cookery Book's every 2 weeks. My Cookery Book's advantage is iOS requirement (16.6 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
