How Kitchenote works

Everything you need to save, share, and cook recipes — in one app.

1

Find a recipe you love

Could be anywhere — your favorite food blog, a YouTube video, or a recipe your grandmother texted you. If it's on the web, Kitchenote can save it.

Works with 95% of recipe sites, including protected ones.
2

Share it to Kitchenote

Hit the share button and pick Kitchenote from the list. Or just paste the URL. About two seconds.

Share sheet is fastest, but copy-paste works great too.
3

Watch the magic happen

Kitchenote reads the page and pulls out exactly what matters — title, ingredients, instructions, cook time, and photos.

You can always edit or add notes after saving.

Never miss a kitchen update

Know when someone adds a recipe, comments on yours, forks your creation, or starts following you. Your kitchen community, always up to date.

Notifications are smart — we won't spam you.

Intelligence that stays out of your way

No chatbots. No prompts. Kitchenote's intelligence is woven into every interaction — it works silently in the background so you can focus on cooking.

🎯

Understands every recipe site

When you save a recipe, Kitchenote doesn't just scrape text. It tries multiple extraction methods — structured data, plugin patterns, heuristic analysis — and picks the one with the highest confidence. If one method misses something, the next one catches it.

Works with 95% of recipe sites. Accuracy improves with every update.

Knows food from everything else

Recipe sites are full of ad banners, author headshots, and logo images. Kitchenote's image classifier automatically identifies which images are actual food photos and only saves those. You never see the junk.

Uses Apple's Vision framework. Runs entirely on your device.

Connects ingredients to steps

Ever read a step that says "add the sauce" but you can't remember which ingredients go in the sauce? Kitchenote automatically detects ingredients mentioned in each cooking step and highlights them — so you always know what goes where.

Works in both English and Japanese with 90+ recognized ingredients.

Scan books and handwritten cards

Point your camera at a cookbook page or grandma's handwritten recipe card. Kitchenote reads the text — including vertical Japanese — and turns it into a clean, organized recipe. English and Japanese, printed and handwritten.

Powered by Apple VisionKit. Everything stays on your device.
