Every recipe in one tin.

Screenshot a recipe you scrolled past, photograph a cookbook page or grandma's handwritten card, or paste the text. Cardamint reads it on your iPhone and sorts it into ingredients and steps; you check it and keep it. Then it fills your week from your own recipes and writes one grocery list.

The recipe tin: seven recipes as tabbed cards, with time, servings and favourites Checking a recipe read from a screenshot: the original picture, the title, ingredients with one line marked to check

From a screenshot to Sunday's shopping

Save it from anywhere

Screenshots of social media posts and recipe sites, photos of cookbook pages and handwritten cards, or pasted text. Up to four pictures at once.

Check it, then keep it

Text is read on your iPhone; Apple's on-device model sorts it into a title, servings, time, ingredients and steps. Lines worth a second look are marked, and the original picture is one tap away.

A week that fills itself

Seven day dividers, like a recipe tin. "Fill my week" picks from your own recipes only: ones you haven't cooked lately, favourites more often, quicker ones on weeknights.

One grocery list

Every ingredient of the week, scaled to the servings you plan and added up across recipes (tablespoons, grams, cups and millilitres), sorted by aisle in 12 languages.

Cook for 2 or for 6

Scale any recipe, tap steps as you go, keep the screen on while you cook.

Works without Apple Intelligence

On iPhones without it, Cardamint reads recipes with its own rules, and typing a recipe in always works.
