Everything a home cook needs, done well.

The basics other apps fumble or paywall are solid and free here. The rest is the depth that keeps a kitchen running.

R

Reliable web import

Paste a link from a blog, Pinterest, or a video and get clean ingredients and steps. Free, and never capped at a punitive limit.

S

Serving scaling

Cooking for two or twelve? Scale a recipe and the amounts redo themselves, in cups or grams.

A

A meal planner that works

Drop recipes onto your week, then turn the plan into a grocery list in one tap.

S

Smart grocery list

Duplicates merge and items sort by store aisle, so you shop the way you walk the store.

C

Clean cooking mode

Step by step, screen stays awake, with a timer ready when a step needs one.

P

Private and yours

Everything lives on your iPhone and syncs through your own iCloud. No account, no ads, full export.

Scale a recipe, build the list, cook from it.

Set the servings and the amounts redo themselves, in cups or grams. Add a recipe to your grocery list and duplicates merge, sorted by aisle. Then cook step by step with the screen awake.

Why people switch.

Paprika is loved but its meal planner is buggy and its design is dated. ReciMe is modern but its import is unreliable and its subscription is resented. Trivet does the open thing: reliable import, a planner that works, honest pricing, and real privacy.

Questions, answered.

Does the web import actually work?+

That is the whole point of Trivet. It reads the structured recipe data that most cooking sites publish, with fallbacks for the ones that do not, and it always hands you a clean draft you can fix. Import is free and is the first thing we measure.

Do I need an account?+

No. There is no sign-up and no password. Your recipes are stored on your iPhone and sync through your own iCloud, so they follow you to your other Apple devices.

Is there a subscription?+

The basics are free forever: unlimited recipes, web import, scaling, cooking mode, a basic grocery list, and full export. Premium adds the planner, photo scanning, household sync, and aisle sorting, for $19.99 a year or a one-time $29.99 for lifetime.

Can I get my recipes out?+

Any time. Trivet exports your whole library to a plain JSON file you keep. Your collection is yours, and you are never locked in.

What about my data?+

Trivet collects nothing. There is no tracking, no ads, and no data sale. The App Privacy label reads Data Not Collected.

Your cookbook, finally done right.

Save your first recipe in under a minute. Free to start, yours to keep.
