Why CookClip
What makes CookClip a useful free cookbook app?
A good cookbook app should make recipes easier to save, easier to find, and easier to cook from later. CookClip starts with a practical free plan and keeps the workflow focused on real recipes, not another collection of forgotten bookmarks.
Use 5 AI recipe imports
Try AI imports on real recipe sources, then review the draft before it joins your cookbook.
Search recipes when you need them
Find saved recipes by title, ingredient, tag, or favorite instead of scrolling through screenshots and saved posts.
Cook from a cleaner recipe card
Open ingredients, steps, timing, servings, notes, and Cook Mode from a recipe built for your kitchen routine.
Cookbook, saver, manager
One iOS app for saving, organizing, and cooking recipes
Whether a recipe starts as a link, photo, note, or family card, CookClip gives it one clean place to live and the tools to use it again.
Free to start, honest about limits
CookClip Free is built for trying the full recipe-saving workflow. When your cookbook outgrows the free plan, Pro adds unlimited recipe saves, unlimited AI imports, meal planning, grocery lists, and custom scaling.
Save recipes
Store links, notes, photos, family cards, ingredients, steps, and source links in a clean library.
Organize collections
Use search, tags, favorites, collections, and notes so recipes are easy to find when dinner starts.
Plan meals
Move saved recipes into a weekly plan when CookClip becomes your main recipe system.
Build grocery lists
Create categorized shopping lists from saved recipes instead of rewriting ingredients by hand.
How it works
Build your free digital cookbook in minutes
CookClip is designed for the moment you find a recipe and the moment you cook it. Add the recipe from the format you have, review the result, then save the keeper version to your iOS cookbook.
Paste
Start with one recipe
Paste a recipe link, note, or photo and turn it into a recipe card you can keep in your free cookbook.
Share
Save from the source
Share a recipe source to CookClip when you find it, then review and save the keeper version.
Free vs Pro
Start free, upgrade when your cookbook grows
CookClip keeps the difference clear: Free is enough to build a useful starter cookbook, while Pro is for people who want CookClip as their main recipe system.
CookClip Free
Save up to 50 recipes, use 5 AI recipe imports, search your library, favorite recipes, and organize with tags and collections.
CookClip Pro
Unlock unlimited recipe saves, unlimited AI imports, meal planning, categorized grocery lists, and custom scaling.
No account for normal use
CookClip is available for iPhone and iPad. Manual saving works without an account, and sync is available when you sign in.
Review before saving
AI can help structure a recipe draft, but you can review and edit the recipe before it joins your cookbook.
