About The Fold - Recipe Manager
Your family's recipes deserve better than a shoebox or a screenshot. The Fold is the private recipe vault where families share recipes with each other — not the internet. Scan Grandma's handwritten cards. Create private Groups. Cook together. —————————————— ◆ PRIVATE GROUPS Share recipes only with people you choose. No public profiles, no social feeds, no strangers. Just your family and closest friends in private groups you control. ◆ SCAN HANDWRITTEN RECIPES Point your camera at any handwritten recipe card and watch it become a beautiful, searchable digital recipe. Preserve your family's heritage before it's too late. ◆ SAVE FROM ANYWHERE Import recipes from any website with one tap. No more screenshots, no more bookmarks that disappear. Everything in one place. ◆ COOK MODE Hands-free cooking with voice-controlled steps. Screen stays on, text gets bigger, and you can navigate without touching your phone. ◆ SYNCS EVERYWHERE Your recipes sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac in real time. Changes appear instantly on every device. —————————————— Free to use. Unlimited recipes, groups, and scans.

What’s new
Version 1.3 · Updated September 20, 2026
Save a recipe from Instagram without leaving your feed. The Fold is fully free now — unlimited recipes, groups, and scans. New • Share a link from Instagram, TikTok, or Safari and it saves in place • Kitchen timers that keep cooking even if you leave Cook Mode • Pick a Home Screen icon — fortune cookie, dumpling, croissant, pretzel, taco, and more • Give each group a cover, and tag a recipe with one tap Improved • Your cookbook stays readable offline • Photos, Reels, and blog links are first-class recipe cards • Titles sit on the photographs, and a group’s name travels into the nav as you scroll • A brighter look and new type throughout Cook Mode and your collection • Groups sort by recent activity so a quiet vault doesn’t look abandoned Fixed • Saving a copy of a family recipe no longer risks deleting someone else’s photos
