Recipe: A Personal Cookbook

Keep personal recipes, cooking notes and memories with optional private-device sync.

Our take

Useful for cooks who want control over local records and selective sharing

Import review, collections and separate recipe/memory exports make the book adaptable.

Keep in mind: Website/scanning accuracy varies; active-app iCloud sync is limited to 40 MB encoded books, and sync propagates deletions rather than replacing an independent backup.

What you can do

  • Editable recipes, collections and ingredient checks
  • Image/website imports with manual review
  • PDF/editable shares and JSON/Markdown backups

Good for

  • People keeping a personal cookbook on their own devices

Consider alternatives for

  • Guaranteed extraction accuracy or unlimited always-on sync

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 18.0.
  • Website/scanning accuracy varies; active-app iCloud sync is limited to 40 MB encoded books, and sync propagates deletions rather than replacing an independent backup.

Privacy & permissions

Local books can contain family photos and notes; full backups include private data while individual shares omit memories. Check recipients and optional iCloud access.
