Save the flour-stained pages, turn them into recipes you can scale and cook from, and print a keepsake book for the whole family.
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 printed and clear handwriting and turns it into editable text — you fix anything it misses. 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.
Tap "Make it a recipe" and any page becomes an editable ingredient list and steps — keeping the original photo right beside it.
Cooking for a crowd? Scale a recipe up or down and use the built-in offline converter for cups, tablespoons, grams, ounces, and oven temps.
A big-text, step-by-step cooking view that keeps the screen awake and starts a timer right from the step ("simmer 15 minutes").
Browse every recipe across every cookbook, grouped into categories like Mains, Breads, and Desserts — and filter to find one fast.
Build a checkable grocery list from any recipe. Duplicate ingredients merge automatically and sort by store aisle.
Export a print-ready family cookbook with a cover, a table of contents, and one nicely laid-out recipe per page — share it or AirPrint it.
A dozen classic home recipes come bundled so you can try scaling, Cook Mode, the shopping list, and the keepsake book the moment you open the app.
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.
Scale servings, start Cook Mode, or build a shopping list. Then export a typeset Keepsake Book — cover, table of contents, one recipe per page — to share or AirPrint for the whole family.
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
