About
Recipes is a recipe management app for iOS, iPadOS and macOS built to a simple brief: “What if Apple were to build this?”. It’s built with the principle that recipes are personal and shouldn’t be locked into a platform or have a proprietary file format, meaning that each recipe is saved as a Markdown file in your iCloud Drive, or any other directory that you choose. Recipes is a simple and minimal app, but supports powerful automations via Shortcuts, letting users manage their recipes and create new ones from screenshots, notes and more.
Key Features
