On-Device AI — Private, Free & Fast

On supported devices, RecipeHero uses Apple's built-in Foundation Models and Image Playground to generate and analyze recipes entirely on your device. No data is sent to third-party AI services — ever.

Private by design AI processing stays on your iPhone. Your photos, text, and prompts are never sent to external AI servers.
Faster results No waiting for server round-trips. Recipes generate in seconds using Apple's on-device models.
No AI usage limits On-device processing means unlimited recipe generation at no extra cost.

Your recipes sync securely to your RecipeHero account so you can access them across devices. Devices that don't support on-device AI fall back to our cloud processing — same great results, just processed on our servers instead.

Built by a Dad Who Just Wanted to Make Dinner Easier

RecipeHero started with a simple problem: recipes scattered across bookmarks, screenshots, handwritten cards, and half-remembered conversations. I built RecipeHero because recipes aren't just instructions — they're memories, traditions, and love passed down through families. Every feature exists because I needed it in my own kitchen.
