Everyone has a camera roll full of recipes they'll never cook. Recipe Savr reads screenshots, photos, links and text into proper recipes — scalable, searchable, and built to be cooked from. No account. Everything stays on your phone.
Hi Product Hunt,
My camera roll has a few hundred screenshots of recipes in it. I have cooked
maybe five of them. Every one was saved with real intent and every one died in
a scroll, because a screenshot isn't a recipe — it's a picture of one. You
can't scale it, you can't search it, and you can't follow it one-handed while
the other hand is covered in flour.
Recipe Savr closes that gap, and it doesn't much care where the recipe came
from.
A screenshot of a reel you saved at midnight. A photo of a page in your
grandmother's cookbook, in her handwriting, with the corner she folded. A
recipe site that makes you scroll past nine paragraphs about Tuscany. A link a
friend sent you. A caption, an email, a text. A cookbook you photographed in a
shop because you weren't going to buy it. Or you just type it in yourself,
because sometimes that's faster.
All of it comes back the same way: ingredients, steps, servings, structured and
ready to cook from. Every import opens in the editor before it's saved, so
nothing is filed away behind your back.
Three things I'd point at:
Several photos become one recipe. A reel split across three screenshots, or a
cookbook spread that needed two shots, is read as a single document rather than
three fragments. Getting this wrong is why most tools of this shape feel broken.
Cook Mode is built for wet hands. The screen doesn't sleep. Steps swipe. Any
time mentioned in a step becomes a timer in one tap — "bake 25 minutes" grows a
Start 25 min button, ranges time the lower bound because that's when you go and
look, and timers run on wall-clock time, so a phone that slept doesn't come back
ten minutes behind.
It's yours. No account, no sign-up, nothing synced. Your recipes live on your
phone and I could not read them if I wanted to. The only thing that ever leaves
is what you hand over to be read, and only when you ask.
Two honest limits. Instagram and Facebook links can't be read by any server —
they're login-walled — so the app says so and offers the screenshot route
instead of failing in a way that invites retrying. And reading photos costs real
money every time it runs, so that comes as a monthly handful for free, with Pro
for more. Everything else is unlimited and never counted: writing recipes by
hand, opening and scaling and cooking everything you've already saved, and
importing from any site that publishes structured data, which most dedicated
recipe sites do.
One thing I'd genuinely like to know: what's the recipe sitting in your camera
roll that you never cooked? Tell me and I'll try importing it.
