Recipe websites are exhausting. You scroll past a personal essay, dismiss two newsletter pop-ups, wait for an autoplay video, and finally reach a list of ingredients buried at the bottom of an ad. Savoured is the fix — a recipe saver app for iPhone that grabs only what matters and stores it in a cookbook you actually want to open.
Open any recipe page in Safari, tap the page menu to the left of the address bar, pick Savoured, and the recipe is parsed and saved to your cookbook instantly — category included. No copy-paste, no manual entry, no leaving Safari.
Saving is only half of it. Tap Start cooking and the recipe takes over the screen one step at a time in type you can read from across the kitchen, with the screen kept awake. Any duration in the method — "for 5 minutes" — becomes a timer you start with one tap. Switch the whole recipe between metric and imperial and it converts like a cook rather than a calculator: cups of flour become grams, 350°F becomes 180°C, tins convert. Change the portions, or tell Savoured you've only got 300 g of flour, and every quantity rescales around it.
If you're not in Safari — maybe a friend sent you a link in Messages — open Savoured, tap the "+" button, choose "Import from URL", and paste. Savoured fetches the page and pulls out the recipe just like the Safari extension would.
Family recipes, that thing you figured out last Tuesday, a print-out you finally want to digitise — create recipes from scratch in Savoured and they live in the same cookbook, search the same as the imported ones, and get cook mode, timers and conversion just the same.
Savoured has no servers. Your recipes, your shopping list and your settings live on your device and nowhere else — there's no iCloud sync, so there is nothing to intercept and nothing for us to see. The only time the app touches the network is when you ask it to fetch a recipe page, or when it loads that recipe's own photos. The Safari extension only reads page content when you actively tap to save a recipe — it does not run in the background. No accounts, no analytics, no ads, no third-party SDKs.
It's free to download and free for your first 10 recipes, after which a single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited. There are no ads, no subscriptions and no accounts to create, and every feature works on the free tier.
Two ways: use the Safari extension by opening a recipe page, tapping the page menu to the left of the address bar and picking Savoured, or open the app and use "Import from URL" to paste a recipe link. Either way, the original source link is saved with the recipe.
On your device, and only there. Savoured has no servers, no accounts and no analytics, so we never see what you save. There is no iCloud sync yet, which means your cookbook stays on the device it was saved to.
