Built to stay out of your way

Saving a recipe should feel like bookmarking it.

TasteBuddy works from the share sheet and your Lock Screen, so you rarely have to stop what you’re doing.

As easy as a bookmark

Tap Share, then TasteBuddy. No copying links and no switching apps: the sheet confirms the import and closes on its own.

Keep scrolling while it imports

The recipe is built in the background. A Live Activity on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island shows the progress, and one tap opens the finished recipe.

Timers on your Lock Screen

Start a step timer in cooking mode and keep an eye on the countdown without unlocking your phone with sticky hands.

Live Activities need iOS 16.1 or later for cooking timers and iOS 17.2 or later for import progress. On Android, the current cooking step and your shopping list float in a bubble.

Less searching. More cooking.

  1. Found something good? Save it.

    Share a recipe link with TasteBuddy, or import a screenshot or note. Keep the ingredients, instructions, and original source together.

  2. Your recipes, all in one place.

    The weeknight pasta. The cake everyone asks for. Search your own cookbook instead of scrolling through old saved posts.

Good questions.

What is TasteBuddy?

TasteBuddy is a recipe organizer app for iPhone, Android, and the web. Collect recipes from social media, websites, screenshots, handwritten cards, and notes in a searchable digital cookbook, then use them for meal planning, shopping lists, and step-by-step cooking.

How do I save recipes from TikTok and Instagram?

Share the recipe link with TasteBuddy or paste it into the app. TasteBuddy can extract available recipe information into ingredients and instructions. Results depend on the source: private posts, inaccessible links, or videos without recipe details may need a screenshot or manual additions. Review the imported recipe before cooking.

Can I collect recipes from websites and screenshots?

Yes. Import a recipe link from a food blog or website, or add a screenshot, photographed recipe card, or note. Keep these recipes together instead of searching through browser bookmarks and your photo library.

Can I make a meal plan and shopping list from my recipes?

Yes. Choose saved recipes for your meal plan and add their ingredients to a shopping list. Open the recipe when you are ready to cook and follow its preparation steps.

Where can I use TasteBuddy?

TasteBuddy is available for iPhone and Android, with a web app for your browser. Use the App Store or Google Play links on this page to download it, or choose Open Web App.

Your next dinner is already saved.

Bring it into TasteBuddy and make something good.
