PrivateCookbook: Recipe Keeper

PrivateCookbook is the recipe keeper for the recipes that matter to you: family classics from handwritten cards, favorites from your cookbooks and your own creations. No account, no ads, no social feed.

KEEP YOUR RECIPES
• Ingredients with amounts and units, step-by-step instructions, servings, prep time, difficulty and a photo
• Organize recipes in your own cookbooks – one recipe can live in several
• Search by recipe name or ingredient and mark your favorites
• Keep versions of a recipe while you refine it

SCAN PRINTED RECIPES
Photograph a recipe from a cookbook or magazine. Text recognition runs on your iPhone, then AI turns the text into ingredients and steps. Only the recognized text is sent for processing, never your photos. Scanning requires Premium or the Lifetime license with your own OpenAI key.

MEAL PLANNER & GROCERY LIST
• Plan recipes for specific days, with servings per meal
• Turn your plan into a grocery list: the same ingredients are combined and scaled to your servings
• Check items off while shopping or share the list

COOKING MODE
Full screen, step by step, with the ingredients you need for each step. The screen stays on while you cook.

SYNC & SHARE
• iCloud sync across your iPhone and iPad
• Share cookbooks with your family and edit them together (Premium or Lifetime)
• Send a recipe as a link or file, or export recipes as PDF

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no tracking, no ads. Your recipes stay on your devices and in your iCloud.
