The cards in Grandma's tin won't last forever — but her handwriting can. Snap a photo, and our AI reads even the faded, butter-stained ones. Share the library with family. Print it all as a real book.
The scanning is the magic. A whole stack of cards becomes a searchable family cookbook in one sitting.
Front and back, straight from your phone. Batch-scan the whole box in an afternoon.
Even cursive. Even faded ink. You review and confirm — and the photo of the original card stays attached forever.
Searchable, taggable, shareable with the whole family — and printable as a real cookbook.
When Judith passed, her recipe box was the thing her family couldn't bear to lose — decades of handwritten cards from both sides of the family, some in her hand, some in her mother's.
Typing them out would have taken months. Photographing them left them unsearchable. So we built the tool we wished existed: point a phone at a card and get the recipe back — and keep the handwriting too.
Family Recipe Box started as one family's archive. It's ready for yours now.

One tap turns your collection into a print-ready cookbook — organized by side of the family, with the dedication of your choosing on the first page.
Christmas, Mother's Day, a wedding shower: there is no gift like the family recipes, bound and on the counter.
And your data stays yours — export your entire archive (every recipe, every original photo) anytime, in open formats.
Cursive, faded ink, "bake until done" — built for actual recipe cards, not printouts.
Invite your people. Browse each other's cookbooks, save copies, even add recipes straight into Mom's collection.
Cook mode, scaling, shopping lists, and a meal log with photos — a kitchen app, not just an archive.
Paste a link, share from your browser, or upload a PDF — web recipes join the box too.
Every scan keeps the photo of the card — the handwriting itself is part of the heirloom.
Export your whole archive anytime. Your family's recipes outlive any app — including ours.

It's the heart of the product — frontier AI vision tuned for recipe cards. You always review before a recipe is saved, and the original photo stays attached.
Yes — joining and browsing a shared library is free. Scanning your own cards beyond the free allowance is what Premium is for.
Android first — iOS is on the roadmap. Family on iPhone can use the web app in the meantime.
