About

RecipesManagerPro

Read full description

RecipesManagerPro is your central recipe collection for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Import recipes from your favorite websites with one tap, organize them with tags and cook with ease using the built-in cooking mode. IMPORT RECIPES Navigate to a recipe page and the app automatically detects title, ingredients, instructions and image. All popular recipe portals like AllRecipes, BBC Good Food, Food Network and many more are supported. Text recognition captures recipes photographed from cookbooks and magazines. PDF documents and text files can be read in as well. Using the share sheet in other apps, send websites, images and files straight to RecipesManagerPro. SAFARI EXTENSION While you browse, an icon in the toolbar shows whether a page holds a recipe. One click and it is in your collection β€” no detour through the app. If the recipe is already there, the extension tells you beforehand. Which cookbook recipes go to and which tag they get is set in the app. For Mac, iPad and iPhone. MOVE IN FROM OTHER APPS Bring your collection with you. Paprika, Crouton, Recipe Keeper, Cookmate and the Rezepte app are supported. Ratings, favorites and categories come along. ORGANIZATION WITH TAGS Forget rigid categories. With the flexible tag system, organize your recipes exactly the way that makes sense for you. Create custom tags like Quick Meals, Meal Prep or Grandma's Classics. The intelligent tag suggestion feature analyzes your recipes and automatically suggests matching tags. Multiple cookbooks keep your collections neatly apart. COOKING MODE When it's time to cook, switch to cooking mode. Instructions are displayed step by step, large and easy to read. The app spots times in the text and offers you a timer for them. The display stays on and you always keep track. When you're done, the ingredients you used can be deducted from your pantry. SHOPPING LIST Add ingredients directly from the recipe to your shopping list. The app automatically considers your pantry and only adds what you really need. Same ingredients from different recipes are intelligently combined. Checking off moves your purchases straight into the pantry, and the shopping history shows what you bought last time. PANTRY MANAGEMENT Keep track of your supplies. Create storage locations like refrigerator, pantry or freezer and record what you have at home. Staples like salt and flour can be excluded so they aren't deducted when you cook. WHAT CAN I COOK? Tell the app what you have, or pull it straight from your pantry. It shows the recipes that fit, sorted by match, and tells you what's still missing for each one. NUTRITION The app estimates calories, protein, carbohydrates and fat per serving. It draws on a built-in database of more than 340 ingredients in five languages, which you can extend and correct yourself. Anything missing is looked up online. ADJUST SERVINGS Cooking for more or fewer people? Adjust the servings and all ingredient quantities are automatically calculated. ON ALL YOUR DEVICES Your recipes, pantry, tags and settings sync via iCloud across iPhone, iPad and Mac. The data lives in your own iCloud, not on someone else's servers. EXPORT AND BACKUP Share recipes as PDF or text with family and friends. Export individual recipes or entire cookbooks. JSON format enables complete backups including all images, tags and settings. FIVE LANGUAGES The interface is available in German, English, French, Italian and Spanish. Set the language independently of the system, and the switch applies immediately. Recipe detection on import understands all five languages too.
