Read full description
Ladle keeps your recipes in one place, on your phone. Share a recipe page from your browser, tap Save, and it's in your recipe box with the photo, ingredients and steps. No sign-up, no account, no ads.
• Save from the web in 2 taps — share any recipe page to Ladle and a small card opens over your browser: photo, title, "12 ingredients · 8 steps". Tap Save, or Review to edit first. Already saved? Ladle tells you instead of making a copy.
• Never lose an import — every import opens as a draft and nothing is counted until you save it. If a site can't be read, Ladle shows what it found and lets you open the page or paste the text.
• Write or paste your own — type family recipes or paste text from anywhere; Ladle splits it into title, ingredients and steps.
• Scale and convert — change the servings and every amount updates, with friendly fractions (1 ½ cups, not 1.5). Switch between metric and US units, and oven temperatures convert too.
• Cook mode with step timers — one step at a time in big type, the screen stays on, and the ingredients for that step are shown underneath. Tap "12 min" in a step to start a timer; run several at once and get an alert when each one ends.
• Shopping list — add a recipe's ingredients with one sheet: pick the servings, untick what you already have (salt, pepper and oil start unticked), and check items off in the store.
• Find it fast — search by title, ingredient or tag, mark favourites, rate recipes and pin a favourite to your home screen.
• Your recipes stay on your phone — export everything (recipes, photos, lists and plans) to a single .zip file and import it on a new phone. Export and import are free.
