The Local Recipe Wizard

About this app

Recipe Wizard turns the messy way you actually save recipes into a proper, cookable recipe — and it all happens on your phone.

Paste in whatever you've got. A dish name and a few loose ingredient lines. A jumble copied from a website, complete with "mark as done" buttons and section headers. Dutch, English, or a mix, with quantities or without. Recipe Wizard reads between the lines.

A little on-device magic turns that mess into a clean, structured recipe: parsed ingredients, sensible quantities, and clear cookbook-style steps. If something's missing — usually the method, a cook time, or how many it serves — the wizard asks a couple of quick questions and writes it up for you. Then it's saved to your personal recipe book, ready to cook.

✦ CONJURE A RECIPE
Paste raw, messy text and watch it become a real recipe. The app expands shorthand into proper instructions ("cook pasta" becomes a full step), names the right technique ("dice the onion"), and strips out the junk that clutters copied recipes.

✦ EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE
There's no account, no sign-up, and no internet required. The AI runs entirely on your device — your recipes are never uploaded, never shared, never seen by anyone but you. Genuinely private, genuinely offline.

✦ YOUR RECIPE LIBRARY
Keep every recipe in a warm, easy-to-browse collection. Search by name or ingredient, organise with tags, and mark your favourites.

✦ COOK WITH CONFIDENCE
A distraction-free cooking mode walks you through one step at a time and keeps the screen awake. When a step has a time, a built-in timer is one tap away and alerts you when it's done.

✦ HANDY EXTRAS
- Serving-size scaler recalculates every quantity instantly
- Grocery list that merges ingredients across recipes and combines duplicates
- Snap a photo of the finished dish
- Share or export any recipe as plain text

✦ WARM & A LITTLE MAGIC
Real food, soft rounded design, and a friendly wizard who makes cooking feel achievable — with just a sprinkle of sparkle around the AI moments.

Available in English and Dutch.

Recipe Wizard is for anyone who jots recipes down in a hurry and wishes they'd turn into something worth cooking. Paste it in, and let the wizard do the rest.
