Getting your recipes out of everywhere else.

Five ways in, ranked by how much work they take. Start at the top and only go down the list if the one above it does not fit what you have.

Paste a link

Recipe sites, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, or any page with a recipe on it. The app pulls the title, ingredients, steps, times, and photo. This is the fastest path and handles most of what people have saved.

Photograph the page

A cookbook spread, an index card, a printout stuck to the fridge. Point the camera at it and the text becomes structured fields you can correct before saving. Works best with the page flat and the whole recipe in frame.

Import a file

Exports from other apps land here: Paprika, RecipeKeeper, MealMaster, CookBook. PDF, ZIP, and TXT are all read. Drop the whole export in one go rather than one recipe at a time.

Use any AI as a converter

For anything in a shape nothing else reads: a spreadsheet, a wall of email text, a screenshot of a group chat. Copy the prompt out of the app, paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini with your recipe, then paste the answer back.

Convert the recipe below into this JSON shape.
Return JSON only, no commentary.

{
  "title": "...",
  "servings": 4,
  "prepMinutes": 15,
  "cookMinutes": 30,
  "ingredients": [{ "quantity": "1 cup", "item": "flour", "group": "Batter" }],
  "steps": ["..."]
}

Type it in

For the recipe that only exists in your head or in someone's handwriting you cannot photograph well. Ingredient groups and step timers are available while you type, so it stays as useful as an imported one.

Moving out is as easy as moving in

Export the whole library as JSON whenever you want, with or without images. It is the same format the importer reads, so a backup is also a working copy.
