Ladle: Recipes & Meal Plan

About this app

Every recipe you love lives somewhere else, a food blog, a YouTube video, a screenshot, grandma's card. Ladle puts them all in one beautiful, searchable place, then helps you answer the real question: what's for dinner? SAVE A RECIPE FROM ANYWHERE • Paste any link, recipe sites, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Ladle turns it into a clean, structured recipe • Video recipes are read from the caption and even transcribed on your device • Snap or share a photo of a cookbook page or screenshot • Paste plain text, or type it in yourself • Review every import before it lands in your library WHAT CAN I COOK TONIGHT? • Daily suggestions from your own library, based on what you cooked, loved, and haven't made in a while • Computed entirely on your device. Your taste stays yours. COOK WITHOUT THE CHAOS • Hands-friendly cooking mode with step-by-step view • Multiple named timers with Live Activities on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Log every cook with notes, a photo, and a thumbs-up PLAN THE WEEK, SHOP ONCE • Drag recipes into a weekly meal plan • One tap builds the shopping list from your plan • The list groups itself by supermarket aisle, produce together, dairy together, done • Today's meal on your Home Screen, Lock Screen, and in StandBy SHARE THE TABLE • Family Sync: share your whole recipe box and meal plan with up to 4 family members • Share any single recipe as a link anyone can open IN YOUR LANGUAGE Ladle speaks English, Czech, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Slovak. FREE TO USE, HONEST WHEN IT'S NOT The recipe box, meal planner, shopping list, and cooking mode are free, no account required. AI-powered imports come with 3 free credits to try. Ladle Premium ($1.99/month or $12.99 once, forever) unlocks unlimited link imports, photo and batch import, and Family Sync. No trials, no tricks, the paywall tells you exactly what costs what, before you tap. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your recipes sync through your personal iCloud. Meal suggestions and video transcription run on your device. We can't read your recipe box, and we like it that way. Made by one person who got tired of losing recipes in browser tabs.
