Helpings: Shared Recipe Box

Your partner saves a recipe. You plan dinner. Either of you can pick up the groceries.

Helpings brings your recipes, meal plan, and grocery list into one shared kitchen. Each person uses their own account and joins by invitation. Your household can share a kitchen across Android and iPhone.

One place for the recipes you cook.
Save recipes from supported websites, add your own, or photograph a cookbook page or handwritten card. Combine multiple pages into one recipe. Organize your collection with folders, ratings, notes, and cook history.

Keep the original. Scale for tonight.
Helpings preserves the recipe and its original yield as written. Change the on-screen serving scale for dinner without overwriting the saved recipe.

Turn dinner plans into groceries.
Choose recipes for the week, then add their ingredients to the shared shopping list. Compatible quantities combine into one row. Sort the list by aisle and arrange aisles in your store's order. When you're connected, everyone's changes appear on the shared list.

Cook from the same recipe.
Cook Mode keeps the screen awake, gives you ingredients and steps to check off, and lets you start timers from supported step times. Save notes and photos so your kitchen remembers what worked.

Bring your collection with you.
Import recipes from a .paprikarecipes export, including supported photos, without a paid upgrade.

Free kitchen, limited imports.
Recipe organization, shared shopping, meal planning, and Cook Mode are free. AI-assisted imports have usage limits. Optional Plus expands eligible photo-import allowances and enables social recipe imports on Android; it does not increase the current iOS app's standard allowance. Limits can also apply across an account and kitchen, and imports may be temporarily paused.

Imports depend on the source. Some websites, photos, posts, and videos cannot be read, and AI can make mistakes. Check imported ingredients, amounts, and steps before saving. You can still add recipes by hand.

Sign-in and an internet connection are needed for sharing and imports. Invite the people you cook with and start with one recipe for your next meal.
