Save the flour-stained pages, the handwritten fixes, and the recipes your family still talks about.
From faded handwriting to a searchable heirloom PDF — in one sitting.
Use your iPhone or iPad camera to capture every page in one sitting. The built-in document scanner straightens and crops each page automatically.
Apple's on-device Vision framework reads the handwriting and printed text for you — no internet required, no data ever leaves your phone.
Correct anything the scanner misread. Add family notes — the stories behind the recipes that only you remember.
Every volume becomes a single long PDF you can share with the whole family over iMessage, email, or AirDrop.
Search across every cookbook, every recipe, every family note — by dish name, ingredient, keyword, or any word you remember.
Already photographed those recipe cards? Pull them straight from your photo library and build a searchable album in minutes.
Four steps from dusty pages to a family keepsake.
Use the camera to scan a whole cookbook in one session, or import recipe photos you already have in your library.
Give it a family name, a hometown, and a short story — "Grandma Rose's Sunday Kitchen, Clayton, Georgia."
Open any page and correct the transcript, add keywords, and write in the family memories that belong with the recipe.
Tap "Share as PDF" and send the complete cookbook to every family member — a keepsake they can keep forever.
Grandma's Cookbook works completely on your device. Your recipes, photos, and memories are never uploaded, never tracked, and never shared.
"Every smudge and scribble tells a story. Keep the family kitchen alive — one recipe at a time."— Grandma's Cookbook
