In one line

Let It Simmer saves recipes from anywhere — social posts, websites, photos and cookbook pages — into one private library on your iPhone, then walks you through cooking them hands-free.

Short description

Let It Simmer is a recipe app for iPhone, iPad and Mac that brings every recipe you've saved into one place. Share a post from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or Facebook, paste a website link, or photograph a cookbook page, and the app pulls out the ingredients and steps. Scale any recipe with real fractions, plan your week, build a grocery list, and cook step by step in Cook Mode — with hand gestures, so you never touch your phone with messy hands. There's no account, no servers and no tracking: your recipes stay on your device.

Key features

Save from anywhere — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook posts, website links, photos of cookbook pages, and Paprika, Cooklang and PDF files.
Scale to your table — Halve, double or make 1½× any recipe, with measurements rounded the way a cook would.
Cook Mode — One step at a time in big, easy-to-read type. Wave your hand to move through the steps; the screen stays awake.
Plan the week, shop once — A meal plan that can sync to your calendar, and one grocery list that can go straight to Reminders.
Private by design — No account, no servers, no analytics or ads. Recipes are read on the device, using Apple's on-device intelligence where available.

Coming soon: iCloud sync and a shared household library.

About the developer

Angela Green is an iOS developer and the founder of Let It Simmer. She started building the app in February 2026 because she didn't want to pay an expensive yearly subscription just to save recipes from Instagram and other sources. What began as a way to save her own recipes grew into a full recipe app — with a one-time price, no account and no tracking.
