Kept is the recipe organizer for people who collect recipes everywhere: websites, cookbooks, family cards, screenshots, and ideas of their own. Bring them all into one beautiful, private library that syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac through your own iCloud. SAVE FROM ANYWHERE • Import from any recipe website: use the share sheet to save directly from your browser, or paste a link to extract the title, ingredients, steps, and photo. • Scan paper recipes: point the camera at a cookbook page or a handwritten card and Kept turns it into a structured recipe. • Paste from notes or messages: plain text becomes a clean, organized recipe. COOK WITH CONFIDENCE • A clean cook-along view with a tappable ingredient checklist. Strike through items as you add them. • Numbered steps with ingredients, cookware, and timers highlighted inline. • Tap any timer to start it, then follow it from the Dynamic Island or Lock Screen. • Attach a photo of your finished dish to remember how it should look. ORGANIZED, AUTOMATICALLY • Recipes are classified into categories with matching icons as you add them. • Search, filter by category or tag, and sort your whole collection instantly. • Group your library by category, or browse most recent and most cooked. YOURS, FOREVER • Recipes are stored as portable, human-readable Cooklang files in your own iCloud Drive. Open them in the Files app anytime. • Save up to 10 recipes free. A one-time purchase unlocks unlimited. • No account, no subscription, no lock-in. Move, copy, or back up your recipes like any other file. • Private by design: no analytics, no tracking, no servers. Your recipes never leave your control and stay only in your own iCloud. Kept supports iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Recipe import works best on devices with Apple Intelligence enabled.
