Read full descriptionHide full description
Uma! turns scattered recipe notes and supported social videos into a cookbook you can actually cook from. BUILD YOUR OWN RECIPE LIBRARY Paste recipe text, bring in a supported TikTok, Instagram Reel, or YouTube Short link, or share text, links, and images to Uma! from another app. Uma! saves it as an editable recipe, so you stay in control of every title, ingredient, quantity, timing, and step. EDIT EVERY DETAIL Fix missing details, reorder ingredients and steps, add servings, timing, tags, source links, and personal notes. Choose a cover from Photos or restore an imported cover. COOK ONE STEP AT A TIME Start guided Cooking Mode when you are ready. Check off ingredients, move through clear steps, use per-step timers when timing is available, and resume an unfinished cooking session later. FIND FAVORITES FAST Search by recipe, ingredient, description, or tag. Filter favorites, sort by recent updates, title, or quickest recipe, and share a formatted recipe with others. THREE FREE AI IMPORTS A DAY Uma! includes three free AI operations per day, shared across recipe analysis, social import, and video transcription. The day is the UTC day, and the allowance belongs to your Apple Account. When it is used up, Uma! says so and when it comes back. Cloud features remain subject to service availability and security or abuse protections. This release contains no advertising, tracking prompt, purchase, or paid overage. LOCAL-FIRST BY DESIGN Your saved recipe library stays on this device. Uma! is unlocked with Sign in with Apple. Share any recipe as a private link, see everything you have shared, revoke a link at any time, and delete your account from the Account tab whenever you want. Relevant content is processed by Umaβs service providers only when you explicitly use recipe extraction, social import, or video transcription. Internet access is required for those features. Automatic access to social content depends on the source and its availability. If a supported video cannot be read automatically, Uma! builds what it can from the caption and tells you when that is not enough. Uma! never uploads a video from your device. Uma! is available in English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French, and Italian, on iPhone and iPad.
