Recipe Catcher
iOS Universel / Style de vie
You bookmark a recipe. You screenshot another. Six months later you can't find either. The one you actually wanted is buried under five tabs you'll never open.
Recipe Catcher fixes that. Tap Share in Safari, send the page to Recipe Catcher, and the title, ingredients, and steps are parsed into a clean card that lives in your library forever. iCloud keeps everything synced across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. No accounts, no ads.
When it's time to cook, you've got the full recipe at your fingertips — without the 1,200-word headnote about a Tuscan childhood.
HOW IT WORKS
Catch a recipe — paste a URL, or share from Safari, Chrome, or any browser.
Plan your week — schedule meals across breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the built-in planner.
Build your grocery list — tap "Add to Cart" on any recipe, then send the cart to Reminders. Ingredients arrive pre-sorted by aisle (produce, dairy, meat, etc.) and labeled with which recipe each one's for.

Reminders integration with aisle-aware sorting and per-recipe ingredient tagging
Universal across iPhone, iPad, and Mac via Mac Catalyst
PRIVACY
Recipe Catcher doesn't collect, sell, or share your data. No account to create, no analytics service, no tracking pixels. The only network requests the app makes are to the recipe pages you ask it to import. Your catalog lives in your iCloud Drive — yours, portable, and readable by any text editor if the app ever disappears.
WHAT THIS ISN'T
Recipe Catcher isn't a discovery app. It won't suggest recipes, show you what's trending, or try to teach you to cook. It's a personal pantry for things you've already found and want to come back to. If you cook a lot, save a lot of links, and lose half of them — this is for you.
GOT A SITE THAT DOESN'T WORK?
Most major recipe blogs and publishers parse cleanly. If you hit a recipe that doesn't import, drop a note via the support email — fixes usually take an hour. The parser is updated regularly as sites evolve their markup.
Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
What's New in 1.1
Fixed a display issue when using Recipe Catcher in Dark Mode.
Rate your recipes from one to five stars, and add a colorful "sticker" to mark favorites — both show up right in the library so you can spot the keepers at a glance.
Sharing recipes is more polished and works in more places. Shared cards now go out as well-formatted HTML that reads beautifully in Messages, Mail, and any browser. Each card opens with clear "what to do next" instructions for whoever you sent it to, plus a QR code at the bottom for cross-device import when someone's reading on a Mac but wants the recipe imported to their phone.
New ways to add recipes on Mac:
– Right-click any web link in any app (Safari, Mail, Notes, anywhere) and choose Services → Add to Recipe Catcher.
– Drag a shared Recipe Catcher card (HTML) straight onto the Recipe Catcher icon in your Dock, or onto an open Recipe Catcher window.
– Drag a web URL out of Safari's address bar onto the app to import.
Smoother sharing from the iOS share sheet — fewer prompts and confirmation dialogs to dismiss.
Help & Guide updated with notes on the new sharing, right-click, and drag-and-drop options.
