Every family has recipes worth keeping. The card in Grandma's handwriting, the dinner everyone asks for, the cookies you only make at Christmas. Kitchen Keepsake gives all of them a home so they stop getting lost in a drawer or buried in a group text. Add a recipe whatever way is easiest for you. Take a photo of a page from a cookbook and the app reads it in for you. Paste a link and it pulls in the title, the picture, and the ingredients. Or just type it the regular way. However it gets there, you can clean it up before you save it. Make it your own. Sort recipes into colorful categories, star the ones you love, and find anything in seconds by name or by ingredient. Cook together. Set up a family and everyone sees the same cookbook. When your mom adds her banana bread, it shows up for the whole family, photos and all. Stop losing recipes. Everything stays backed up in your own iCloud and syncs across your devices, so you are covered even if you lose your phone. One price, no subscription. Start free with up to ten recipes. Pay once to unlock unlimited recipes and family sharing, and it is yours for good. It works with Family Sharing too, so a single purchase covers your whole household. Want to cut a recipe in half, or double it? The app handles that with the click of a button. Save the food your family loves, and pass it on.
