About Focara Kitchen: Recipe Box
SAVE EVERY RECIPE, EVERY WAY
• Paste a link and import from almost any recipe website
• Paste recipe text from Notes, a message, or an email — it's sorted into ingredients and steps for you
• Snap photos of cookbooks, cards, and handwritten notes — smart scanning reads them into clean ingredients and steps, and strips the clutter
• Or just type it in with a fast, structured editor
COOK HANDS-FREE
• Cook Mode keeps the screen awake with big, readable steps
• Easy Read highlights the ingredients inside each step, so a glance is enough with your hands full
• Tap any step's timer to start it — timers keep running if you leave the recipe, and survive closing the app
• Run multiple recipes at once and switch between them without losing your place
MAKE EVERY RECIPE YOUR OWN
• Scale servings and watch the amounts adjust
• Save your changes as versions — keep the original, and the way YOU make it
• Jot notes after each cook: what worked, what to change, how it turned out
• Show amounts in US or metric, per recipe or app-wide
DINNER, READY TOGETHER
• Plan a meal and Focara builds the cooking timeline backwards from serve time
• Each dish gets its own start alarm, so everything lands hot at once
• Start cooking right from the timeline and move dish to dish
A SHOPPING LIST THAT SORTS ITSELF
• Add a recipe's ingredients in one tap — duplicates merge automatically
• The list organizes by grocery store section: produce, dairy, meat, pantry
• Plain water never clutters your list (it's assumed on hand — tap to restore)
SHARE ANY RECIPE
• Send anyone a beautiful, ad-free web page of your recipe — no app required
• The link shows the photo, ingredients, and steps, ready to cook from
MADE FOR REAL KITCHENS
• Fully localized in 33 languages — recipe scanning works in most of them too
• Your recipe box lives on your device — export everything, anytime
• Free to use with ads; Focara Kitchen Pro removes all ads for less than a dollar a month
"Focara" comes from an old word for hearth — the warm center of the home where food and family meet. That's what this app wants to be for your recipes.

What’s new
Version 1.5.0 · Updated September 19, 2026
Imported recipes keep their units; one tap under Servings converts them. Type an exact prep or cook time. A tidier New Meal, with Extra time up to 2 hours; the after-cooking reminder names the recipe. Imports that look off get an orange dot to check. Better card scanning: real names, section labels, whole steps. Typed fractions settle into ½; your row stays above the keyboard. Lighter photos; a gentler timer chime. Easy Read, timers and shopping sections now work in every language.
