Clip a recipe from any website or a photo of a cookbook page, cook it step by step with timers, and shop from an aisle-sorted list. Every recipe is a plain-text file you own, so nothing you save can ever be locked in. RECIPES THAT KEEP THEIR STRUCTURE Most apps flatten a recipe into a list and a wall of text. Cook uses Cooklang, an open-source plain-text format that keeps how a recipe really works: - Sections: dough, filling, and frosting stay distinct parts of one recipe - Recipe references: your pizza links to your pizza dough instead of copying it - Notes and metadata: oven temps, timing cues, source, tags. Nothing gets lost - Scaling: by servings, by multiplier, or around a single ingredient GET RECIPES IN WITHOUT RETYPING - Paste a link, or share a page from Safari, and Cook turns it into a clean recipe. Recipe-site imports are free and unlimited. - Photograph a cookbook page or add screenshots and Cook reads the ingredients and steps (Cook Cloud plan). - Save recipes from YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram videos (Cook Cloud plan). - New here? Start with a recipe pack picked for how you eat and cook. COOK FROM YOUR PHONE - Cooking mode: a mise-en-place checklist, then one large-text step at a time. The screen stays awake. - Timers from any step, running in the background, on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. SHOPPING LISTS THAT MATCH HOW YOU SHOP Add any recipe, scaled amounts included, and Cook builds one list. View it by aisle or by recipe, define your own aisles in a text file, check things off, and send the list to whoever is shopping.
