Welcome to
let it simmer.
Save it, scale it, simmer it.
Every recipe you love — from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, websites and cookbook pages — in one beautiful library on your iPhone. Coming soon to the App Store.
Thanks — we'll email you the day Let It Simmer arrives.
Sound familiar?
Saved posts, screenshots, bookmarks, a cookbook with a torn page — and still nothing for dinner.
Let It Simmer pulls the ingredients and steps out of wherever you found a recipe, keeps them together, and walks you through cooking it — no scrolling past life stories with flour on your hands.
Save any recipe. Cook it hands-free.
Scale It
Cook for two or twelve — quantities adjust in real fractions.
What it does
A cookbook that fills itself.
Save from anywhere
Share a post from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or Facebook, paste a website link, photograph a cookbook page, or bring your Paprika and Cooklang files along.
Scale it to your table
Halve it, double it, or make 1½×. Measurements round the way a cook would — ⅜ cup, not 0.375.
Cook Mode
One step at a time in big, easy-to-read type, with your ingredients a tap away. Wave your hand to move through the steps, and your screen stays awake — no touching your phone with messy hands.
Plan the week, shop once
Drop recipes into your meal plan, see them on your calendar, and get one grocery list sorted by aisle.
Know what to make tonight
Cook This Tonight brings back recipes you haven't made in a while, and What's in Your Kitchen? finds ones that use what you already have.
Shared with your household
Your library will follow you across iPhone, iPad and Mac through your own private iCloud — and your family will be able to cook from the same collection.

Why I made it
I just wanted to save recipes from Instagram without paying a yearly subscription for it. So I built my own app — and it grew from there. Let It Simmer is the recipe app I wanted: everything in one place, paid for once.

Questions
When does it launch?
Soon. Leave your email above and you'll hear the day it's on the App Store.
Which devices does it run on?
iPhone and iPad running iOS 17 or later, and Macs with Apple silicon.
Do I need the newest iPhone?
No. Every feature works on any supported device. On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, recipes from messy sources come through even cleaner.
What counts toward the 15 free recipes?
Recipes you import from links, photos, social posts or files. Recipes you type in yourself are always free and unlimited.
Can I bring my recipes from another app?
