About this app

Write it down. Cook it back.

Cookback is a cooking journal — not another recipe app. It's for what actually happened at the stove: the temp you ran, the rest you cut short, the tweak you swore you'd remember. Write it in your own words while you cook. Next time you make the dish, everything you learned is right there waiting.

It's built for the cooks you care about getting right: brisket running low and slow on the smoker or grill, sourdough and weekend baking, and the weeknight dinners in between.

THE JOURNAL — FREE TO KEEP

• Freeform notes with a light structure: Details, Prep, Cook, Thoughts, Next time. Write two lines or two pages.
• A timeline in the margin stamps your notes as you cook, so "how long did it actually rest?" answers itself.
• Photos, tags, and ratings for difficulty and enjoyment.
• Dishes: every brisket you've ever logged, gathered in one place, so you can watch it get better cook after cook.
• Cook it back: start tonight's cook with last time's notes at your side.
• Insights: your year at the stove at a glance.
• Search and filters: favorites, quick weeknight wins, needs-work, any tag.

MESSY HANDS? COOK ANYWAY

• Dictate a note with the mic, right in the editor — no clean fingers required.
• Your active cook stays pinned to the Lock Screen and notification shade — glance at your last note, log a new one in a tap.
• Add a note from a long-press shortcut or a home-screen widget — without opening the app.

COOKBACK PRO

The journal is free to keep. Pro is for reflecting:

• Recaps: wrap up a cook and get a tidy summary in your own words — what you did, what mattered, what to try next time — with tags added automatically.
• Ask: questions answered from YOUR journal, not the internet. Ask "what made this brisket better than my last two?" and get an answer that cites your actual cooks.
• Recipe import: paste a link and get a clean, cook-along note — ingredients and steps, with room for your own notes on top.

You get starter credits to try every Pro feature before paying a cent. Pro is an auto-renewing subscription (monthly or yearly); cancel anytime in your Google Play settings.
