Prep vs Alef

Learn to cook with confidence - one skill, one recipe, one meal at a time. Prep is a cooking app for beginners who want to actually understand what they’re doing in the kitchen. Learn the cooking basics through short, interactive lessons, then use those skills with recipes you actually want to make. Save recipes from Instagram and TikTok, follow clear step-by-step cooking guides, and plan your meals for the week. LEARN HOW TO COOK Prep teaches you the skills recipes usually assume you already know. • Short interactive lessons - Learn cooking basics without sitting through long videos. • Understand what to look for - Learn how heat, texture, timing, seasoning, and technique actually work. • Practice as you progress - Answer questions, complete kitchen challenges, and build confidence step by step. • Build your cooking path - Explore foundations, pasta and risotto, desserts, baking, dough, fermentation, and more. • Track your progress - Earn XP, level up, build streaks, and keep learning at your own pace. SAVE RECIPES & ACTUALLY COOK THEM Found something you want to make on Instagram or TikTok? Share it to Prep. • Import recipe videos - Share a public recipe video or paste its link. • Made for your kitchen - Adapt recipes to your experience level, servings, units, and dietary needs. • Step-by-step guidance - See what to do, how long it should take, and what you should be looking for. • Know when something is going wrong - Get useful cues for color, texture, heat, and timing instead of vague instructions like “cook until ready.” • Cook without losing your place - Built-in timers and Live Activities keep you on track. • Check with a photo - Get practical feedback on color and texture while you cook. • Nutrition at a glance - See calories, protein, carbs, and fats per serving. No more replaying the same ten seconds of a recipe video. No more guessing what the creator meant. PLAN YOUR WEEK Save the recipes you want to make and add them to your weekly meal plan. Prep brings the ingredients together into one grocery list, so you can check what you already have, shop faster, and know what you’re cooking next.

Alef teaches you to read Hebrew — whether that's for a bar or bat mitzvah, to follow along in synagogue, or simply because you want to read the language. It takes you from your very first letter all the way to real Torah passages and prayers. HOW YOU LEARN • Guided Primer — a structured, ~20-minute onboarding that teaches the writing system before jumping into practice • Spaced repetition flashcards — the proven method for long-term memory, tuned specifically for Hebrew letters, vowels, and vocabulary • Daily practice — a short, focused session each day builds real fluency over weeks, not months PRACTICE THROUGH PLAY • Syllable Drill — quick-fire letter and vowel combinations • Match Rush — a timed matching game for word recognition • Word Builder — assemble real Hebrew words from scrambled letters • Letter Quiz — test your recall, letter by letter READ THE REAL THING Once you've built a foundation, read actual Torah passages and prayers — the Shema, Friday night Kiddush, Psalms, and more — with word-by-word support. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Watch your level grow from Novice to Master as you unlock new letters, vowels, and vocabulary. Daily streaks and XP keep you motivated along the way. BUILT FOR THE WAY YOU ACTUALLY USE YOUR PHONE • Choose between Traditional and Modern Hebrew type • Native pronunciation audio for every letter, vowel, and word • Offline mode — download your content and keep practicing with no connection • Sign in with Apple for fast, secure account creation Hebrew has a reputation for being hard to learn. Alef breaks it into small, achievable steps — so instead of memorizing in the abstract, you're reading real words and real prayers from day one.
