That pasta you saw on YouTube — where did you save it? The link went to a chat with yourself. The photo is somewhere in your camera roll. Mum's recipe is a screenshot. And when you finally start cooking, you can't find any of them. Paste the link. We'll turn it into one clean recipe, ingredients and steps included. ◆ One screen for the whole 30 minutes · Two timers, right under the recipe — boil the pasta and reduce the sauce without switching apps · Chef Mode gives you up to four. Rice, soup and a braise at once · The screen stays awake while you cook · Ingredients and steps together, so you stop scrolling back and forth ◆ Everything you saved, in one notebook · Paste a YouTube, Instagram or TikTok link and it becomes a recipe · Photograph a cookbook page or a handwritten card; upload a chat screenshot · AI pulls out the ingredients and steps, and you can edit anything before saving · Leave your own note on any step — "lower the heat next time" · Attach photos and video to individual steps ◆ Chef Mode — when a recipe becomes a business · Scaling: turn a 2-serving recipe into 4, with quantities recalculated · Costing: enter unit prices once and see total and per-serving cost · Margin: set a selling price and read your margin and food cost % · Prices are saved and apply to your next recipe automatically · Four timers, no ads · Not a subscription. Buy once, keep it ◆ Honest about the price · Writing recipes yourself, timers, notes and search are free. They stay free · Only AI import spends a "note". Your first three are on us · If the result isn't usable, we don't charge a note. Failures are returned · Servers and AI genuinely cost us money, so we ask for the minimum ◆ No account, on your device · No sign-up, no login. Open the app and start · Recipes and photos stay on your iPhone · You only sign in with Apple when you buy, so your purchase is protected · No tracking. Ads are non-personalised banners, and Chef Mode removes them The warmth of a paper recipe book, for the half hour you spend cooking.
