Recipe links from relatives
Save recipe links from relatives and keep the source attached while you clean up the details.
Tags, favorites, and collections

How it works
How to Organize Family Recipes in CookClip
A family recipe organizer should feel simple enough to use while dinner is happening. Add the recipe in the format you have, review what CookClip finds, then save the clean version with the context that matters.
Keep the story with the recipe
Add a note like "Grandma doubled the cinnamon" or "Dad made this every Sunday" so the recipe stays useful and personal.
1. Download CookClip and capture the recipe
Get CookClip from the App Store, then start with a photo, pasted text, copied URL, or shared recipe link.
2. Review the draft
Check the detected URL, ingredients, steps, servings, and notes. CookClip helps structure the recipe, but you stay in control.
3. Create the recipe
Tap Create Recipe when the import looks right, then edit anything that needs a family-specific adjustment.
4. Organize for real cooking
Favorite the keepers and use tags or collections for holidays, weeknight dinners, baking, family staples, and heirloom recipes.
