RecipeSweep is a meal planner for people who have recipes but want that extra help managing them. Bring your own recipes. Plan a week's worth of meals, or even four. Generate a grocery list that already knows what's in your pantry because there's a pantry inventory right inside. That's the whole app. No AI making up dinners. No accounts. No subscription. No nonsense. — THE THREE THINGS IT DOES Recipes Paste a link from most cooking sites, and RecipeSweep extracts the title, ingredients, steps, and yield. Or jot one in by hand, the way you would in a notebook. Tag, rate, attach a photo. Everything lives on your device and in your iCloud. Plan Drag your recipes onto the days you'll cook them. Scale servings per meal. Tonight, this weekend, two weeks out — your call. When you don't feel like thinking, tap Auto-plan and the app shuffles your library into the empty days. List One tap turns the plan into a grocery list, grouped by store section. Pantry deductions happen quietly: if you have flour at home, it doesn't show up. The list converts cups to tablespoons, pounds to ounces, so "1 cup oil" plus "2 tbsp oil" becomes a single line. Send it to Reminders, share it as Markdown or PDF, AirDrop it to whoever's actually shopping. — DESIGNED FOR THE WAY COOKS ACTUALLY THINK • Servings scaler that recomputes ingredients live • Cook Mode: one step at a time, big type, screen stays awake • Drag-to-reschedule meals across the week • Plan templates for "our usual two weeks" • Pantry tracking with low-stock flags • Photo-per-recipe, light and dark mode, full Dynamic Type support — WHAT IT DOESN'T DO It doesn't suggest meals you'd never cook. It doesn't track macros or calories. It doesn't have a feed of trending recipes from strangers. It doesn't sync to a server we control or sell anything about you. If you want any of that, this isn't the app. — PRIVACY App Privacy nutrition label: Data Not Collected. Your recipes, your plans, your pantry — they live on your device and in your private iCloud. There is no RecipeSweep account because there's no RecipeSweep server. The only network calls are when you ask the app to read a recipe page, and those go directly from your iPhone to the cooking site you chose. — ONE-TIME PURCHASE $1.99. Once. Forever. Free updates as long as the app exists. We don't believe a meal planner should bill you every month for the privilege of looking at your own recipes. — REQUIRES iOS 17 OR LATER. UNIVERSAL — RUNS ON IPHONE AND IPAD.
