What's new in Recipe App. Most recent first.

September 8, 2026 — Import, edit, and cook

Reliable multi-photo imports: photos upload separately with progress, and retry reuses completed uploads. Large phone photos no longer pass through the app’s request-size bottleneck.
Review before adding: compare original pages with extracted text, zoom in, edit quantities, and exclude possible duplicates before merging.
Draft recovery: unfinished recipe forms are saved on this device with a restore option. Undo and redo cover edits, deletions, reordering, and photo merges.
Cooking mode: check off ingredients, read one large step at a time, start step timers, and optionally keep the screen awake. Available on your recipes and shared recipes.
Mobile cover controls: replace/remove buttons stay visible, with upload progress and retry.

April 27, 2026 — Public launch

Recipe App is officially live at recipeapp.io. After weeks in private beta, we're opening signups to everyone.

Capture recipes any way you want

Five ingestion modes, all powered by Claude:

Manual entry — type it in with a clean editor
Paste text — drop a recipe from anywhere, we'll structure it
Photo — snap a cookbook page, handwritten card, or finished dish
Link — paste any recipe URL or YouTube video; we extract from descriptions and transcripts
Voice dictation — talk your recipe in, we'll write it down

Per-serving macros

Calories, protein, carbs, and fat estimated automatically for every recipe based on your ingredient list. Re-estimate any time.

Smart organization

Full-text search across titles, ingredients, instructions, tags, and source attribution
12 built-in categories (Breakfast, Dinner, Dessert, etc.)
Free-form tags for filtering by cuisine, diet, occasion
Per-recipe From / Attribution field — track whose recipe it is ("Grandma," Joy of Cooking, a YouTube channel) and click to see all recipes from that source

Accounts and pricing

Free — up to 20 recipes, every feature included
Pro — $7/month, unlimited recipes, cancel anytime

Built for your phone

Recipe App is a Progressive Web App. Add it to your home screen on iPhone (Safari) or Android (Chrome) for a native-feeling app without the App Store hassle.

Behind the scenes

Email + password auth with email verification and password reset
Photo storage on Vercel Blob with private unguessable URLs
Postgres on Neon for recipe data
Claude (Anthropic) for AI parsing and macro estimation
Stripe Checkout for billing — your card never touches our servers
Resend for transactional emails

Coming soon

Roadmap items we're actively planning:

TikTok and Instagram Reels ingestion (currently web pages and YouTube only)
Shared collections for households or families
Meal planning — drag recipes onto a weekly calendar
Shopping list generation from selected recipes
Recipe export as JSON, PDF, or printable cards
Custom domains for power users who want their own recipe site
