Photograph grandma's handwritten cards, old cookbooks, or clippings. AI reads the text and converts it into a clean, searchable digital recipe — instantly.
Import from Any Website
Paste any recipe URL and AI extracts just the recipe — no life stories, no ads, no scrolling past 47 paragraphs to find out how much butter you need.

Got a recipe from a friend, a magazine, or your own head? Quick manual entry with smart formatting keeps everything organized.
Safe in the Cloud
Your recipes sync across all your devices and are backed up securely. Water damage, lost phones, faded cards — your collection is always safe.
Collections & Search
Organize recipes into custom collections. Search by name, category, or filter by ingredient. Find exactly what you're looking for, fast.
Share & Export
Share recipes as beautiful PDFs, send them to family, or export your entire collection. Pass down your culinary legacy to the next generation.
Cook Hands-Free, Step by Step
Full-screen cooking mode turns your phone or iPad into the perfect kitchen companion. No more fumbling with your phone while your hands are covered in flour.
Swipe Through Steps
Large text, one step at a time. Swipe to advance — designed for messy hands and quick glances.
Smart Timers on Your Lock Screen
AI detects when a step needs timing and creates a timer automatically. Runs as a Live Activity on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island — no need to keep the app open.
Ingredients at a Glance
Each step highlights exactly which ingredients you need and how much. No more scrolling back and forth between instructions and the ingredient list.
Made for iPad in the Kitchen
Prop your iPad on the counter and cook with a dedicated two-column layout — ingredients alongside instructions, all at a glance.
AI That Actually Helps You Cook
Not just another chatbot. RecipeHero's AI works on-device and in the cloud to solve real cooking problems.
Reverse Engineer Any Dish
See a gorgeous dish at a restaurant or in a photo? Snap a picture and AI analyzes what it is, asks you a few questions about your preferences, and generates a complete recipe with ingredients and instructions.
Remix for Dietary Needs
Transform any recipe to fit your diet — vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, keto, and more. AI adapts the ingredients and instructions while keeping the spirit of the original dish. The original recipe stays untouched.
Generate a Recipe from Scratch
Describe what you're craving — "a quick weeknight pasta with whatever's in my fridge" — and AI creates a complete recipe with your preferred cuisine, serving size, and dietary restrictions.
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.
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.

Capture a recipe on your phone at dinner, find it waiting on your iPad when you're ready to cook. Everything syncs instantly.
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.
Privacy First
AI runs on-device using Apple's Foundation Models — no data sent to third-party AI. We never sell your data.
Works Offline
Full access to all your recipes without internet. Syncs when you're back online.
Kitchen Tested
Every feature is designed for real cooking — messy hands, bright kitchens, one-handed use.
