Scan it once

It's yours forever.

Point the camera at a stained index card, a screenshot, or a page in a church cookbook. MyCookbook reads it — ingredients, steps, servings — and files it where you'll actually find it again.

Built for the stove, not the couch

Everything a recipe app forgot.

Scale without the math

Doubling for a crowd or halving for two — every quantity recalculates, fractions and "2–3 cups" ranges included.

Timers that survive a phone call

Cooking mode keeps the screen awake and the clock honest — leave the app, come back, the timer never lied.

A grocery list that adds

Pick the week's recipes and get one list, by store section — two "1 cup sugar"s become 2 cups, like they should.

Cookbooks, plural

Holiday baking, weeknight rotation, the family archive — organize by cookbook, category, or season and share whole collections.

Chef mode

Run a real kitchen? Flip one switch: categories become stations, home portions become batch yields.

No ads. No life stories.

Your recipes open to the ingredients — not to somebody's summer in Tuscany and four banner ads.

Not a mockup

This is the actual app.

Real screens, real recipes, tonight's dinner.
