It means we take the recipe you already love — and reshape it to actually work with your brain, not against it. Ingredients are placed inside each step so you’re never jumping back and forth. Instructions are broken down into one task at a time, with built-in pauses and no multitasking chaos. Then, when you’re ready to cook, you can launch Cook Mode — a distraction-free, full-screen flow with gentle audio, easy navigation, and soft chimes to bring you back if your mind wanders. It’s calm, clear, and focused — like a recipe that knows what kind of day you’re having. And you don’t have to scroll through someone’s life story to get to it.

Does the food shopping part get you down? We’re working on Instacart integration so you can send your shopping list directly from the app — and get what you need to start cooking tonight. Each recipe has your shopping list at the start, so you can get everything you need (including those “optional” items they throw in at the end). Until the integration is ready, you can copy and the paste the list into your shopping app.
