Safari extensions ship switched off, so this is a one-time setup. Go to Settings → Apps → Safari → Extensions → Savoured, turn it on, and set "Other Websites" to Allow (leave it on "Ask" if you'd rather approve each site). Then in Safari, open a recipe page, tap the page menu to the left of the address bar, pick Savoured, and choose "Save to Savoured".
Three ways:
- Safari extension: on a recipe page, tap the page menu left of the address bar, pick Savoured, then "Save to Savoured" — it now brings the recipe's category across too.
- Import from URL: tap "+", choose "Import from URL", and paste a link.
- Add Manually: tap "+" and write it out yourself.
There is no share-sheet option yet, so from outside Safari, copy the link and import it. However it arrives, the original source is saved so you can go back to it.
Tap "Start cooking" on any recipe and Savoured takes over the screen with one step at a time in large type. Swipe to move on. The screen stays awake the whole time, and if you put the phone down and come back, it holds your place.
Savoured reads durations out of your recipe's own method, so "brown the butter for 5 minutes" becomes a button you tap once. The countdown follows you through the rest of the recipe and tells you when it's up. Timers are scheduled and delivered entirely on your device — permission for the alert is asked the first time you start one, never on launch.
Yes, and it converts the way a cook would rather than the way a calculator would. Two cups of flour becomes 250 g, not 500 ml. Oven temperatures land on real dial numbers — 350°F is 180°C. Tins convert, so 9x13 inch is 23x33 cm, and teaspoons stay teaspoons. The method converts alongside the ingredients, and your original text is never altered, so you can switch back any time.
It merges them properly. If one recipe wants a cup of flour and another wants 250 g, you get one line reading 375 g rather than two lines in different units, because Savoured knows what flour weighs. Your shopping list is stored on your device alongside your recipes and is not synced or transmitted.
Yes. Open the "..." menu and choose "Scale to what I have", pick the ingredient you're short on, and say how much you've got. Every other quantity rescales around it, and the servings update to match. You can also just set the portions directly and let every quantity follow.
None. Savoured has no servers, no accounts, and no analytics, and it contains no third-party SDKs. Your recipes, shopping list and settings live on your device and nowhere else. The Safari extension only reads page content when you actively tap to save a recipe; it doesn't track your browsing in the background. See the privacy policy for the full details.
Not yet. Savoured has no iCloud sync — your cookbook lives on the device it was saved to, which is also why nothing about it ever reaches us. Sync is something we'd like to add; it isn't in the app today.
That happens when you're at the 10-recipe free limit. The Safari extension itself is free and keeps working, but a save that would take you past the limit is held rather than discarded.
Savoured tells you how many are waiting, and the moment you unlock unlimited they're all added automatically — you don't need to go back and save them again.
Recipe pages vary wildly in how they're structured. If the extracted ingredients or steps look off, you can edit any recipe in Savoured to clean it up. If you find a site that consistently fails to parse, email us and we'll look at improving support for it.
Yes. Tap the "+" button and create a recipe from scratch — name, ingredients, steps, notes, photo, and category. It's stored alongside your imported recipes, and cook mode, timers, conversion and the shopping list all work on it just the same.
Browsing, editing and cooking from your saved recipes works fully offline, timers included. Importing a new recipe by URL or via the Safari extension needs an internet connection to fetch the page.
To delete a single recipe, swipe on it in the list or open it and tap the delete action. To remove everything, delete the Savoured app — every recipe is stored on your device, so they all go with it. There are no server-side copies to ask us to remove.
There are no ads, no subscriptions, no accounts and no analytics. Savoured is free to download and free to use for your first 10 recipes; past that, a single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited recipes. Everything the app does — cook mode, timers, conversion, scaling, the shopping list — works on the free tier.
