Shopping lists
that make sense

Built from your recipes and meal plans. Grouped by aisle or by recipe. Check off items as you go.

iOS app browsing cookbooks organized in folders

Your whole collection,
always with you

Organized in folders that mirror your file system. Every recipe renders beautifully from plain .cook files.

iOS app importing a recipe from a website link

Bring recipes in
from anywhere

Links from any recipe site import free. Snap a cookbook page or share a TikTok, YouTube or Instagram link with Cook Basic. Each one arrives as a plain-text recipe you can edit.

iOS app syncing a recipe folder

Cook Cloud in the app

Sync for free through a folder you already use — iCloud Drive, Dropbox or Syncthing. Cook Basic syncs your recipes across every device for you and adds photo and social imports. Cook Pro adds CookBot, which plans your week in the desktop editor.

One account on the web and in the app — if you already have one, sign in before you subscribe.

Plan on desktop too

In the free Cook Editor, write recipes and build the week's meal plan — or let CookBot draft it from your own collection. The plan and its shopping list arrive on your phone.
