Scran is an inclusive cooking app designed for neurodivergent cooks and helpful for anyone who wants to simplify cooking. If you lose your place, reread instructions, miss ingredients or feel overwhelmed by recipes, Scran helps you stay on track and feel more confident in the kitchen. SIMPLIFY RECIPES Turn saved recipes into steps that are easier to follow. Scran pulls prep upfront, puts ingredient amounts directly inside the steps and breaks longer instructions into smaller tasks you can tick off as you cook. Your original recipe is always kept alongside the simplified version, so you can return to it whenever you need to. SAVE RECIPES FROM WHEREVER YOU FIND THEM Save unlimited recipes from websites, social media, screenshots, photos and cookbooks into one visual library. Organise them into your own collections, ready to simplify and cook from. COOK WITH LESS MENTAL LOAD Use Cook Mode to follow recipes one step at a time, keep track of your progress and clearly see what comes next. Adjust the text size and appearance, choose from accessible font options, scale servings and convert measurements. SHOP WITHOUT MISSING AN INGREDIENT Turn your saved recipes to a shopping list, sorted by aisle and ready to tick off as you shop. Easily add the extra items you need. CO-DESIGNED WITH NEURODIVERGENT COOKS Scran has been co-designed with real home cooks, including people with ADHD, dyslexia and autism, to reduce the demands traditional recipes can place on planning, reading, focus and memory. Spend less energy trying to follow the recipe and more time enjoying the cooking! Terms of Use: https://www.scran.life/legal/terms-of-use Privacy Policy: https://www.scran.life/legal/privacy-policy
