The shopping list is the point.

Most recipe apps can read a recipe. That part is solved. What almost none of them do well is the thing you actually take to the shop: one list for the whole week, correctly added up.

The problem, concretely

You plan five dinners. Three of them want onion. A good app gives you a list. A great app gives you one line that says 3 onions — not onion three times, not onion ×3, and not bawang bombay sitting separately from onion because the recipe was written in a different language.

That merging step is deceptively hard, and it is where Savory Simmer spends its effort.

How it works

1. Capture

Paste a recipe as text, drop in a blog URL, or photograph a cookbook page. Savory Simmer reads it into a clean, consistent card — title, ingredients with real quantities and units, steps.

2. Plan

Drag recipes onto the days of your week. Change your mind and drag them somewhere else.

3. Shop

Your list builds itself from what you planned, grouped by grocery aisle, with a checkbox for "already have it". Remove a recipe from the plan and the list updates — because it is recalculated every time you open it, never stored and left to drift.

What Savory Simmer deliberately does not do

Common questions

What if my recipes aren't all in English?

That case is a deliberate design goal rather than an afterthought. The vocabulary covers English and Indonesian today and is built to take on more. There's a page about exactly that.

What can it import from?

Pasted text, a blog or recipe-site URL, or a photo of a page. Video capture from TikTok, Instagram and YouTube is temporarily offline.

Is it private?

Every recipe belongs to the account that saved it. There is no public feed and no sharing between users. You can delete your account, and everything in it, from inside the app.

What does it cost?

Free to use, including your first 10 AI-powered imports; writing recipes in by hand is unlimited. A paid Premium plan is coming soon, and its price and what it includes are on the home page.
