Recipe Please

Features
Read full description

Every recipe online is buried under a life story, a photo essay, and forty ads. Recipe Please puts a quiet "View Recipe" button on every recipe page in Safari โ€” one tap, and dinner surfaces as a clean, beautiful, cook-ready card. No pop-ups. No autoplay videos. No scrolling past someone's trip to Tuscany with onion hands. Just the recipe. THE ONE-TAP CARD Tap "View Recipe" on any recipe website and get the whole thing, beautifully plated: title, servings, prep and cook times, every ingredient with its quantities, and every step in order. Works on virtually any recipe site โ€” big publishers, tiny family blogs, and everything in between. YOUR COOKBOOK BUILDS ITSELF Love it? Tap Save. The recipe lands in your collection with the dish's photo, cook times, and the site it came from. The recipe box your grandmother kept โ€” minus the shoebox. FIND IT IN A HEARTBEAT Search your collection by dish, by ingredient, or even by the website it came from โ€” "chicken" finds every chicken dinner you've ever saved. Browse as big cards, a tight grid, or a fast list. One tap to switch. THE RESCAN BUTTON A site with chaotic formatting? Tap Rescan and Recipe Please re-reads the entire page, deeper โ€” so even the messiest blog gives up its recipe. WORKS OFFLINE Saved recipes โ€” photos included โ€” are stored right on your device. Cook at the cabin, on a plane, or long after the blog that published it goes dark. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your device. No accounts, no cloud, no analytics on your appetite. The pages you read stay between you and your stove. EVERYWHERE YOU COOK One free download covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac โ€” native on every screen. Share any recipe as clean text, and jump back to the original site any time. Credit where credit's due. ACTUALLY FREE No subscription. No in-app purchases. No ads. Your only cost is the groceries. HOW IT WORKS Turn on Recipe Please in Safari's extension settings โ€” the app takes you straight to the switch. Open any recipe page and tap "View Recipe." Tap Save to keep it. That's the whole tutorial. Somewhere out there is tonight's recipe, buried under 1,400 words. Go get it in one tap.
