Paste a recipe link. Get back something you can actually cook from. Reduce takes a recipe from a blog, a TikTok, an Instagram post or Pinterest and gives you the part you came for: the ingredients, the steps, and the amounts written into each step so you are never scrolling back up with wet hands. WHAT IT DOES Paste a link, or paste the text. Drop in a URL. Or paste a caption, a comment or a block of text you copied from anywhere. Amounts inside every step. "Heat 1 Tbsp neutral oil" instead of "heat the oil". The measurement is in the sentence you are reading, where you need it. Scale servings and switch units. Halve it, double it, triple it. Cups or grams. Every amount in every step follows the change. Cook Mode. One step on the screen at a time, set big enough to read from across the counter. Timers you start with a tap. Dark from edge to edge, so it sits well in a working kitchen. Your cookbook. Save the ones that worked. Rate them, note what you changed, sort them into collections, and find them again later. Shopping list. Tick ingredients off as you shop. Share a recipe. Send a clean link to anyone. They do not need the app to open it. START WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT You can convert recipes and cook from them without signing up at all. Make an account when you want to keep them. WHAT YOU WILL NOT FIND No ads. No pop-ups. No autoplaying video. No account wall in front of the first recipe. No story about a trip to Tuscany sitting on top of the ingredient list.
