Timers

Do timers keep running if I close the app?

Libraries (Subscription)

What's included in the Libraries plan?
Libraries unlocks recipe and package-instruction scanning, saving recipes and meal plans, grocery lists, sharing, and syncing across devices.
How much does Libraries cost?
$2.99/month or $24.99/year. Annual subscribers save over 30% compared to monthly billing.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel anytime from Manage subscription in the app. You keep access through the end of your current billing period (monthly or annual). Cancellation does not include a prorated refund.
Do I lose my recipes if I cancel?
No. Your account and saved recipes, meal plans, and grocery lists remain. You keep full Libraries access through the end of your paid term. After that, your content stays in your account, but Libraries-only features (scanning and adding new saved content) are locked until you resubscribe. Recipe data is only removed if you delete your account.
Can I switch from monthly to annual?
Yes. You can switch from monthly to annual from the Upgrade page at any time.

Recipes

Can I scan recipes from a cookbook or package?
Yes. Libraries subscribers can scan recipes, cookbook pages, and package instructions. The app automatically detects cooking times and creates timers for you.
Can I paste a recipe from a website?
Yes. You can paste recipe text and the app will detect cooking times and ingredients.
What if a scan misses something?
You can edit any scanned recipe — adjust ingredients, instructions, and timers. The app can help reconstruct missing ingredients and instructions when possible.

Grocery Lists

Can I create grocery lists from recipes?
Yes. Open a saved recipe and choose Add to grocery list.
Can I create grocery lists from multiple recipes?
Yes. The Add to grocery list dialog supports combining ingredients from multiple recipes into a single list, with matching items aggregated.
Can I share a grocery list?
Yes. Grocery lists can be shared via a link with friends or family.
