Ladle: Recipe Box & Planner

A recipe you actually cook rarely arrives in a tidy format. It's a screenshot from a friend, a photo of a page, a wall of text buried under someone's life story.

Ladle takes whatever you paste — text, a photo, a share from Chrome — and turns it into a recipe with real ingredients and real steps. The reading happens on your phone, so nothing leaves it, and it works in a kitchen with no signal.

From there it's a recipe manager and meal planner that pulls its weight. Plan the week's meals and every ingredient lands in one grocery list, grouped the way a store is laid out, so you walk the aisles once. Cook mode keeps the screen awake — run several timers at once and watch them count down in a notification instead of unlocking with wet hands. Send the list to whoever else shops, in any app you already use.

Your recipes stay yours: import your whole Paprika library in one go, back everything up to a single file, export it all as JSON whenever you like — no account, no server, no feed. One purchase unlocks everything for life. A cookbook that sits on the shelf and waits.
