Mise: Recipe Book & Timers

Your hands are covered in flour. Your phone screen just went dark. The recipe is three scrolls up.

Mise fixes that.

Mise is a recipe book built around the two moments that actually matter: getting a recipe in, and cooking it without touching your phone.

GET ANY RECIPE IN
Recipes live in awful places. Mise takes them all. Import recipe sources most apps choke on:
• Paste a web link — Mise reads the page structure directly and fills everything in
• Use it as a recipe scanner: snap a photo of a cookbook page or a printed recipe
• Import a PDF
• Share straight from Chrome, Google Keep, your notes app, or the gallery
• Or just paste messy text and let it sort itself out
All of it happens on your phone. No account, no sign-up, nothing to configure. Multi-shot capture stitches a long recipe across several photos, and you get a review screen to fix anything that came out wrong before it is saved. Interrupted halfway? Import history brings back the review you never finished.

COOK WITHOUT TOUCHING THE SCREEN
Cook Mode shows one step at a time, big, with exactly the ingredients that step needs — no more scrolling back to check the quantity.
• Push-to-talk voice control: "next", "repeat", "start timer", "add a minute", "read ingredients"
• Read-aloud steps
• Keep-screen-on while cooking
• Check off steps as you go
• A back-guard so you never lose your place mid-cook

SEE THE WHOLE RECIPE AT ONCE — CRYSTL STYLE
Tap one button and any recipe becomes a bracket table: ingredients down the left, each step reaching across exactly the ones it uses, brackets nesting outward to the finished dish. You read what meets what, and in what order, in a single glance — no scrolling between a list of ingredients and a list of steps. It is the shape cooks have drawn on index cards for decades, built automatically out of your own recipes.

TIMERS THAT DO NOT LOSE TRACK
Mise is a real cooking timer, not a reminder — and it replaces the kitchen timer on your counter. Multi-stage timers run in a foreground service, so they keep counting when you background the app, lock the phone, or the system kills the process. They survive a reboot. Notification actions let you stop or extend without opening the app, and a home-screen widget shows the next one counting down.

A RECIPE ORGANIZER THAT SCALES
Save recipes for years without the list turning into a mess.
• List or grid, your choice
• Collections — group recipes into your own cookbooks
• Filter by cuisine, difficulty, or how long you have
• Search, favorites, tags, sort
• Scale servings and every quantity recalculates
• Build a shopping list for the week's meals — duplicates merge automatically
• Add your own cover photos and per-step photos

A REASON TO COME BACK
Save a photo of every finished dish. Streaks, stats, and achievements track what you've actually cooked, not what you meant to.

NO AI. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
Mise reads your recipes on your phone, with rules, not a model. Nothing you import is sent anywhere to be understood — not to us, not to an AI service, not to anyone. There is no account, no sign-up, and no recipe server. Full backup and restore writes a file you choose and control, photos included.

EVERY FEATURE IS FREE
Not a trial, not a teaser. Importing, cook mode, voice control, timers, collections, filters, shopping list, backup — all of it, with no expiry and no recipe limit.

Mise pays for itself with occasional full-screen ads, capped at four a day and never less than four minutes apart. There are no banner ads, and there is never an ad while you are cooking or while a timer is running.

No in-app purchases. No subscription.

Available in English, Korean, and Japanese.

Mise. From "mise en place" — everything staged in its place, before the heat goes on.
