Description Batch is a recipe box built for how people actually cook today pulled from TikTok, Instagram, a friend's text, or your own kitchen notes. SAVE ANY RECIPE Add a title, ingredients, and step-by-step instructions. Attach photos to the finished dish or to individual steps. Paste text you copied from anywhere and Batch automatically splits it into a clean ingredient or instruction list — no retyping bullet points by hand. COOK MODE Step through a recipe hands-free with large, easy-to-read steps, photos for each stage, and built-in timers. Batch notifies you the moment something's ready, even if your phone is locked. GROCERY LIST Pull ingredients straight from any saved recipe into one shopping list. Check items off as you shop, edit anything by hand, and clear the list when you're done. MEAL SCHEDULE Plan your week across an actual calendar view — pick recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks, Monday through Sunday. SHARE A RECIPE Turn any recipe into a vintage-styled recipe card you can save, text to a friend, or print. FAMILY MODE Share your entire recipe box, grocery list, and meal calendar with up to 4 people, live — perfect for a household planning meals together. Everyone sees the same recipes and the same week, updated in real time. Prefer to keep things private? Solo Mode keeps everything on your device only, no account needed. Batch is free to use, in both modes.
