OCR Index Scanning

Point your camera at a cookbook's index page and the Vision framework reads recipe names and page numbers automatically — including ISBN barcode scanning to create the cookbook entry in one tap.

Cooking History

Log every time you cook a recipe with a star rating, notes, what you modified, how long it actually took, and a photo of the result. Stats show your success rate and average rating over time.

Fuzzy Search

Finds recipes even with typos, using Levenshtein distance matching across recipe names, cookbook titles, and tags. Smart collections surface Recently Viewed, Quick Meals, Not Yet Tried, and favourites automatically.

Smart Tags

Six tag categories — Ingredient, Method, Dietary, Cuisine, Meal Type, and Custom — with auto-detection of category from the tag name. Filter and browse your whole library by any combination.

Community Index Sharing

Share your scanned cookbook indexes with the community so others don't have to re-scan the same book. Browse and import community indexes directly from the scanner tab.
