What's for dinner tonight? And where did that recipe you saved last month go? My Cook Plan keeps your recipes in one recipe book and helps you plan the week with them. It doesn't come with recipes: the recipes are yours, the ones you already cook, save from the web or have written down by hand. YOUR RECIPE BOOK Add recipes by hand with photos, or import one from a website by pasting the link. Share a recipe from Safari or another app straight into your book. Take a photo of a handwritten recipe or a page from a paper cookbook and zoom in while you cook. Categories, favorites, search and filters help you find anything. YOUR WEEKLY MEAL PLAN Breakfast, lunch, dinner and up to two snacks for every day. Pick a recipe from your book or just type the dish: "leftovers", "eating out". Copy a whole day when the menu repeats. GROCERY LIST Open a recipe, choose the ingredients you're missing and add them to your list in one tap. Check them off at the store. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add two or three recipes you cook often. 2. Put them on the days of the week. 3. Add what's missing to the grocery list. NO ACCOUNT, WORKS OFFLINE No sign-up. Your recipes and meal plans stay on your iPhone and work without internet. Changing phones? Export a backup file and restore it on the new one. FREE — Up to 50 recipes — Meal plans for the next 7 days — Grocery list up to 30 items — Import from websites: 1 a day, +1 after an ad — Backup to a file — Color schemes PREMIUM — Unlimited recipes and grocery list — Unlimited imports — Your own recipe categories — Full calendar and meal plan history — Themes with illustrated backgrounds — No ads WHAT IT ISN'T No ready-made recipes, no meal ideas, no calorie counting or diet plans. You fill the recipe book yourself. Your recipes. Your week. Your notebook. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Aptit helps you plan the week's meals in minutes. Import recipes from a link or snap them straight out of a cookbook — Aptit structures them for you. Then share the household's recipes, weekly plan and shopping list in real time. COLLECT ALL YOUR RECIPES Paste a link, type out a recipe or take a photo from a cookbook or magazine. Aptit turns it into a clean recipe with ingredients, steps and servings — ready to cook. PLAN THE WHOLE WEEK Lay out breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, Monday through Sunday. Fill the week in one go with suggestions for favorites and things you haven't had in a while, or repeat last week. Choose how many you're cooking for and move meals when plans change. YOU CHOOSE WHAT GETS BOUGHT Check off the planned meals you're actually going to cook, and Aptit puts the ingredients on the shopping list — sorted by aisle. Nothing lands on the list unless you chose it, and the staples you always have stay off it. At the store, store mode gives you big rows, and the list works even offline. The whole household sees the same list at the same time. COOK AT THE STOVE Cook Mode shows one step at a time in large text, with the amounts right in the steps. Start the timer and it rings like an alarm, even when your phone is locked. COOK TOGETHER Invite up to five people to a household. You share recipes, the weekly plan and the shopping list in real time. One person plans dinner, another shops — without a single text back and forth. WHAT'S IN THE FRIDGE? Type in what you've got at home and get recipe ideas for what to cook. No more "there's nothing to eat" fifteen minutes before dinner. RECIPE BOOKS Start with Everyday Recipes from Aptit — simple dinners for the whole week. Then collect your favorites in your own recipe books — weeknight dinners, Friday favorites, baking — and share them with the household. REMINDERS WHEN YOU NEED THEM Aptit nudges you to plan the week, reminds you on shopping day and lets you know when it's time to cook. Never too many, never spammy. Aptit is built in Sweden — and right at home in American kitchens. Cups, ounces and °F included. Whet your appetite. SUBSCRIPTION Aptit Pro is an auto-renewing subscription.
