Cook every step right on time.
Better Recipes is an app for iPhone and iPad that turns any recipe into a clear, timed plan. Prep, cook, and plate without the guesswork.
The timeline
See the whole cook before you start.
Every recipe becomes a timeline. Steps are color-coded for prep, cooking, and plating, so you can tell what needs you now, what runs in the background, and what can wait. Pinch to zoom out to the whole cook or in on the busy minutes.
Writing your own recipe works the same way: lay the steps on the timeline, pin the ones that must happen at a fixed moment, and let the rest flow.
Your collection
Your recipes live on your phone.
The whole library is stored on your device and works with no connection at all. Favorites keep their full content offline, drafts save themselves as you type, and everything syncs when you're back.
Discover and share
Find your next dish, then pass it on.
Browse featured picks and the community's highest-rated recipes, or filter by cook time, complexity, country, and allergens. When you publish, one link shares your recipe anywhere: friends with the app open it directly, everyone else lands right here.
Built for real kitchens.
-
Draft it or bring it in
Paste a link to a recipe page and it arrives as an editable draft with ingredients, steps, and timings, up to three a month. With Apple Intelligence, the app also drafts from your own notes or pasted text, right on your device.
-
Allergens for the whole household
Keep allergen profiles for up to six people. Recipes warn you when a dish clashes with anyone's list, and Discover and Search can leave those allergens out.
-
Timers built into steps
Start one from any step and get a notification when it rings, even with the screen locked.
-
Know your ingredients
Scan a barcode to add an ingredient and check nutrition details like Nutri-Score.
-
Search that gets specific
Filter by rating, cook time, difficulty, and tags, or leave out the ingredients you'd rather skip.
-
A looked-after community
Public recipes come from real cooks; reporting and blocking are built in, and reports get reviewed quickly.
Be cooking on day one.
