What is CookPal - AI Recipe Import?

CookPal is an iOS mobile application designed to simplify recipe management by transforming cluttered online recipes, social media posts, or even physical notes into clean, easy-to-read recipe cards. Users can import recipes from any website, TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube link, or by snapping a photo of a cookbook page or pasting raw text. The app offers features like serving scaling, unit conversion (metric/imperial), and a dedicated cook mode that keeps the screen on and displays steps one at a time. It also includes a shopping list feature that auto-dedupes items and allows for recipe organization into categories. CookPal aims to provide a distraction-free cooking experience, free from ads and lengthy narratives.

FAQs

What counts as a recipe import in CookPal?

Each time you save a new recipe from a URL, photo, text, or social media link, it counts as one import. Viewing, scaling, or using cook mode on recipes already saved in your library does not count against your import limit.

Does CookPal work offline after importing recipes?

Yes, once a recipe is imported, it is saved locally on your device. You can view all your saved recipes, use cook mode, and access your shopping list without an internet connection. Only importing new recipes requires connectivity.

How reliable is importing recipes from social media like YouTube or Instagram?

CookPal uses AI to extract recipes from video descriptions and captions. While it works well for most cooking videos that include written recipes, results may vary for videos that only show cooking without accompanying text. The parsing technology is continuously being improved.

Can I get a refund for a CookPal Pro annual plan?

Yes, annual plans purchased within the last 14 days are eligible for a full refund. You can contact bananabreadlabs@gmail.com for assistance. Monthly plans are not refundable but retain Pro access until the end of the billing period.
