I built an app to turn my grandparents' stained recipe books into shareable links

I got tired of paying for recipe apps that still made saving recipes weirdly annoying, so I spent the last few months building my own instead.

It’s called FORK’D.

Originally I tried apps like ReciMe and a few others because my recipe collection was becoming an actual disaster. TikTok bookmarks, screenshots, random Notes app dumps, Instagram captions, half-saved YouTube links, etc.

But every time I wanted to save something, it still somehow turned into work. So I built a web app around my exact cooking flow.

Now I can throw basically anything recipe-related into it and it turns it into a clean recipe I can actually cook from later and, most importantly, share with my friends and family.

TikToks, Instagram posts, YouTube videos, screenshots of recipe cards, pasted text, voice notes, whatever.

A few things it does:

• Imports recipes from almost anywhere
• Cleans up chaotic formatting automatically
• Lets you scale ingredients
• "Cooking mode" that helps following the recipe easier while cooking it

Still a side project and improving things constantly. Wasn't until yesterday that I added ingredient scaling lol.

The ask:

• If you cook often, I’d love to know if this actually feels useful
• If there’s something recipe apps STILL don’t do well, I want to hear it
