Web recipes, handwritten cards, and your own — organized, searchable, synced everywhere.
Build Your Recipe Box FreeRight now your recipes are probably scattered: a few screenshots in your camera roll, a dozen browser bookmarks, some links texted to yourself, and a box of handwritten cards in a kitchen drawer. When it's time to cook, you can never find the one you want.
A digital recipe box pulls all of that into one organized, searchable app. Pinch of This is a digital recipe box built for real kitchens — it holds recipes you save from the web, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, scan from handwritten cards, or add yourself, adds automatic nutrition facts to every recipe, and keeps them synced across your phone, tablet, and computer so the right recipe is always a tap away.
Paste a recipe URL from a website, YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram and keep a clean card with the useful recipe details. Learn more →
Photograph a card and AI OCR digitizes the handwriting into an editable recipe. Learn more →
Type in your own creations with ingredients, steps, and photos, and edit them any time.
Bookmarks remember a webpage. Screenshots remember pixels. A digital recipe box keeps the actual ingredients and instructions organized for cooking.
