SELF-HOSTED RECIPE SOFTWARE

Keep the recipes you care about in a library you control.

Import recipes from old files, scans, web pages and common recipe formats. Organize them, improve them, plan meals, combine shopping lists, and use the collection from the kitchen without handing it over to somebody else's platform.

BUILT FOR A REAL COLLECTION

Useful after the recipe is saved, not just while you're collecting it.

A recipe manager should do more than hold text. Your Kitchen Library is built around finding, cooking, planning, sharing and maintaining a collection over time.

Import without retyping

Bring in pasted text, public URLs, PDFs, scans, images and established recipe formats, then review before saving. Save the recipe, not just the link: pages move, sites close and bookmarks break, while your local copy remains yours.

Import & export docs

Organize a large library

Categories, search, favorites, Want to Try, ratings, Recently Viewed and Made It history keep a growing collection manageable.

Plan meals and shop once

Add recipes to My Kitchen, adjust servings and build a shopping list that consolidates ingredients used across multiple recipes.

My Kitchen docs

Cook from any screen

Responsive recipe pages, scaling and print-friendly output make the collection practical at a desk, on a tablet or in the kitchen.

Share only what you want

Keep the entire site private, share it with a household, or operate a public recipe collection on your own domain.

Back it up and move it

Docker-based deployment plus documented backup and restore help prevent the collection from becoming another dead-end format.
