About Recipe Tin: Family Recipes
Some recipes are written in cursive on a card that's been splattered with fifty Thanksgivings. Recipe Tin keeps them — handwriting and all — free, with everything you need to actually use the tin every day. FREE, NO LIMITS • Save as many recipes as you want, each with its own photographed card kept forever, zoomable, right next to a typed version • Multiple photos per card — front and back, or a few scanned pages • Cook Mode: a full-screen, one-step-at-a-time view that keeps the screen awake while you cook • Search everything — title, person, ingredients, steps, the story • Scale any recipe by servings, by a multiple (½×, 2×, 3×), or to the one ingredient you're short of — "I only have 1½ cups of flour" — and everything else follows, in real fractions (1½, ¾), the way recipes are actually written • Print a single recipe as a beautiful typeset PDF card, or send it straight to someone else's tin • Back up the whole tin, or restore one, any time • Find a recipe or start Cook Mode with Siri, and search your tin from Spotlight — no need to open the app first • Meals: build a menu for an occasion out of your own recipes — courses, guest count, and per-course serving overrides — with a "Cook" button straight into Cook Mode for each recipe • Planning: a week-at-a-glance planner for Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner (or your own custom slots), with a "Today" card on the Recipes tab so you can see the day's plan at a glance • Shopping lists: build a checklist from one recipe, a whole meal, or your planned week — quantities are scaled and combined automatically — then check items off, or send it to Reminders. Keep as many lists as you like • Recipe books: gather "Grandma's Baking" or "Weeknights" into books — a recipe can be in as many books as you like, and taking it out of one never removes it from your tin • Joining a recipe book or shopping list someone shares with you is always free: cook from it, scale it, and see changes as they happen • iCloud sync: turn it on and your recipes, card photos, voice notes, meals, planner, and lists show up on your iPhone and iPad alike THE BOX Recipes live under the person they came from — "From Grandma Rosa, 6 recipes" — and open like a drawer of index cards, not a database. UNLOCK RECIPE TIN COOKBOOK — ONE PURCHASE, EVERYTHING BELOW, FOREVER • Import from a Link — paste any recipe website's URL and Recipe Tin reads the recipe straight off the page • Bring in your whole Paprika library in one pass — titles, categories, ingredients, steps, and photos, all matched so a re-import never duplicates what's already in your tin • Export a per-person cookbook — every recipe from one cook bundled into a single gift-ready PDF, card photo included • On iPhones with Apple Intelligence: retype a photographed card into a structured recipe in one tap, reconstruct a lost dish from a photo and a description, get an ingredient substitution, or troubleshoot a recipe that didn't turn out right — all processed entirely on your device YOURS, PRIVATELY No account, ever, and no server of ours. Your tin lives on your device. If you want it on your iPad too, turn on iCloud sync and it's kept in your own private iCloud — off by default, and yours to turn off. Share a recipe book or a shopping list with family and only that book or list is visible to the people you invite. Otherwise Recipe Tin only goes online to read the page you paste for Import from a Link. Everything else, including Apple Intelligence, runs entirely on your device. Recipe Tin Cookbook is one small one-time purchase — no subscription, ever — and it covers your whole family through Family Sharing. It adds importing from any website or Paprika, retyping cards with Apple Intelligence, printing a cookbook for each cook, and sharing recipe books and shopping lists with family, where you choose for each person whether they can make changes or only view. The food is how they loved you. Keep the instructions.
What’s new
Version 1.5 · Updated October 16, 2026
Recipe books. Gather recipes into books like "Grandma's Baking" or "Weeknights" — a recipe can be in as many as you like, and removing it from a book never removes it from your tin. Free. Share a book with family. Invite your family to a recipe book and choose, for each person, whether they can make changes or only view; recipes keep their card photos and voice notes. Shopping lists get the same choice. Starting a share is part of Recipe Tin Cookbook; joining one you're invited to is always free, and lists you've already shared keep working. Scale it your way. Set the servings, make it 2× or ½×, or tell Recipe Tin you only have 1½ cups of flour and everything else scales to match. Free. New card photos take up much less room on your phone and in iCloud, with the handwriting just as sharp.
