Private recipe keeper for iPhone
All your recipes, and they import the first time.
Trivet saves recipes from any link, scales servings, plans your week, and builds the grocery list. It keeps everything on your iPhone, with no account, no ads, and honest pricing.
No account. No ads. No data sale.
What Trivet does
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.
Reliable web import
Share a page from Safari or paste a link and get clean ingredients and steps. Free, and never capped at a punitive limit.
Serving scaling
Cooking for two or twelve? Scale a recipe and the amounts redo themselves, in cups or grams.
A meal planner that works
Drop recipes onto your week, then turn the plan into a grocery list in one tap.
Smart grocery list
Duplicates merge and items sort by store aisle, so you shop the way you walk the store.
Clean cooking mode
Step by step, screen stays awake, and the timer rings even if the phone locks.
Private and yours
Everything lives on your iPhone and syncs through your own iCloud. No account, no ads, full export.
In the kitchen
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.
- Metric and imperial, with real conversion
- A grocery list that combines what you already added
- Timers pulled straight from the steps
At the stove
Cooking mode carries you to "nicely done."
One step at a time, readable from across the kitchen. The screen stays awake, a timer is one tap when a step needs one, and finishing feels like finishing.
How it works
From a link to dinner in three steps.
Import a recipe
Share from Safari, paste a link, or scan a photo. Trivet pulls in the ingredients and steps, cleanly.
Plan and shop
Add it to your week, then build a grocery list sorted by aisle.
Cook and keep
Cook step by step. Your recipe stays in your library forever.
Compared honestly
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.

Good to know before you cook
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, iCloud sync across your devices, 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?+
Your recipes stay on your iPhone and never touch our servers. No tracking, no ads, no data sale. That is why our 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.
