Cookulate

A kitchen that plans itself.

Wastes nothing. Gets smarter every week.

Cookulate turns your saved recipes into a week of meals, then builds one smart grocery list, grouped the way your kitchen works, with the stuff you already have left off.

What it does

Less thinking. Less waste.

01

Import any recipe

Snap a photo of a cookbook page or paste a link. Cookulate strips away the ads, life stories, and clutter, leaving just the ingredients and steps, no retyping.

Import any recipe in the Cookulate app

02

Plan the whole week

Drag meals onto your calendar. See exactly what's on the menu before you're standing in the kitchen at 6 pm.

03

Suggest a meal

Not sure what's for dinner? Suggest-a-meal looks at what's already planned and favors recipes that reuse those same ingredients, so less goes to waste.

04

One real grocery list

Every ingredient from every recipe you're cooking that week, compiled into one list and grouped like sections in a grocery store. No more three separate “garlic” entries.

05

Text your list

One tap sends the whole list, already organized by aisle, to whoever's doing the shopping.

06

Track your pantry

Keep tabs on staples like olive oil, vinegar, and spices with a simple full-to-empty gauge that tracks down as your recipes use them up, so the grocery list only asks you to buy what you're running low on.

07

Convert any measurement

Cups to grams, Fahrenheit to Celsius, tablespoons to teaspoons. A built-in converter for the moments a recipe uses units you don't keep in your kitchen.

08

Cook without scrolling

One step at a time, big enough to read from across the counter, with the exact amounts you need right below it. No more losing your place in a wall of text.

09

Ask Cook

A cooking assistant built right into the app for substitutions, technique, and timing questions. It already knows the recipe or grocery list you're looking at, so you never have to explain what you're making.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Getting started

What is Cookulate?

Cookulate turns your recipes into a real weekly routine — save recipes from anywhere, plan your week, and get one grocery list automatically built from what you're actually cooking.

How do I add a recipe?

Three ways: paste a link from any recipe site, snap a photo of a cookbook page or handwritten recipe, or share a link straight into Cookulate from Safari, Instagram, or anywhere else with a share sheet.

What if a recipe doesn't import correctly?

Some sites block automated reading — if a link doesn't work, try "Add from a photo" instead; a screenshot of the recipe works just as well. You can always edit any recipe by hand afterward too.

Do I need an account to use it?

Yes — an account is what keeps your recipes, meal plans, and pantry synced and private to you.

Grocery list

How does the grocery list work?

Plan your meals for the week, and Cookulate combines every ingredient across all of them into one categorized list — organized the way a grocery store is laid out, so you're not backtracking down aisles.

What does "check your pantry first" mean?

For staples you're likely to already have — spices, oils, baking basics — Cookulate asks instead of assuming, so you're not buying a third bottle of vanilla extract you didn't need.

Can I add items that aren't from a recipe?

Yes — anything you type in gets added and categorized alongside your recipe-based items.

Why did an item disappear from my list?

Either you checked it off, or you told Cookulate you already had it. Both are easy to undo from the list.

Pantry

What's the Pantry tab for?

It tracks your real staples — things like flour, olive oil, or soy sauce — so Cookulate knows what's actually running low and can ask you accordingly instead of guessing.

How does Cookulate know what I already have?

You tell it, once — answering "Check your pantry first" questions and setting levels on the Pantry tab keeps it accurate over time, with no manual inventory work.

Cooking

What is Cook mode?

A step-by-step view for actually cooking — one step at a time, with the ingredients for that step right there, so you're not scrolling a whole recipe with flour on your phone screen.

Can I scale a recipe up or down?

Yes — adjust servings and every ingredient amount updates automatically.

Pricing & subscription

What's free, and what needs a subscription?

Cookulate is free to use — plan meals, import up to 5 recipes a week, and build your grocery list at no cost. A subscription (with a 7-day free trial) unlocks Cook Mode, Ask Cook, the unit converter, unlimited imports, and editing your pantry staples.

How much does Cookulate cost?

Pricing is shown in the app and on the App Store listing — that's always the most accurate source, since pricing can change over time.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — every subscription starts with a 7-day free trial. After that, you'll be charged for whichever plan you chose unless you cancel first.

Will I be charged automatically after the trial?

Yes — unless you cancel before the 7 days are up, your subscription continues automatically at the regular price shown when you signed up. You can cancel anytime during the trial at no charge.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Through your iPhone's Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions — Cookulate can't cancel it for you directly, since Apple manages all billing.

What happens to my recipes if I cancel?

Nothing is deleted — your recipes, meal plans, and pantry data stay exactly as they are. You just lose access to premium features until you resubscribe.

Account & privacy

Is my data private?

Yes — your recipes and data are private to your account. See our full privacy policy for details on exactly what's collected and how it's used.

How do I delete my account and data?

In the app: Profile → Delete Account. This is immediate and permanent — every recipe, meal plan, and pantry item goes with it, with no waiting period.
