Features & Capabilities

The whole kitchen, together: save recipes, plan trips and potlucks, and share live grocery lists your crew edits in real time. Five apps' worth of cooking, in one.

CookwithFriends is the kitchen app built for the group — the roommates splitting the grocery run, the friends packing for a cabin weekend, the group whose potluck needs a plan. One app for the whole kitchen, because cooking is more fun with your people.

BRING YOUR WHOLE COOKBOOK WITH YOU Switching from another recipe app? Moving over is easy — nothing gets left behind. Build a real cookbook: organized, tagged, searchable, and full of your own photos:

→ Paste any recipe link and get just the ingredients and steps — no ads, no ten-paragraph life story. → Snap a photo of a cookbook page or Grandma's handwritten card and watch it turn into a recipe — scanned right on your device. → Browse your favorite cooking sites inside the app and tap Save. → Pull recipes straight from reels, TikToks, and YouTube videos. → Import your whole backup file from another app in one go.

Every import becomes a recipe you can edit, tag, favorite, scale, and time.

SHOP AS A TEAM, IN REAL TIME No more "can you grab milk?" texts. Share a grocery list and watch it update live as everyone adds and checks off items — sorted by aisle. Keep separate lists for the house, the party, and the week, and switch in a tap.

PLAN TRIPS WITHOUT THE CHAOS Heading away for the weekend? Build a trip day by day. Pick a recipe or note for each meal, say who's making what, and CookwithFriends rolls every ingredient into one list. Everyone sees the plan, and nobody buys three tubs of butter.

HOST POTLUCKS THAT ACTUALLY WORK Claim a dish, see what's still missing, and coordinate the spread in one place — so you get mains, sides, AND dessert, not five bowls of pasta salad.

END THE "WHAT'S FOR DINNER?" STANDOFF Drop recipes onto a 7-day meal planner and build the week's shopping list in one tap. Keep a simple pantry so nothing gets bought twice — then let the app suggest what to cook tonight.

COOK HANDS-FREE Cook Mode walks you through one step at a time on a full-screen card that never sleeps mid-recipe. Tap any time in a step to start a timer, run several at once, scale servings, and switch US ↔ metric.

MEET SOUS SPROUT, YOUR AI SOUS-CHEF Ask Sous Sprout. Your AI kitchen helper can simplify any recipe, swap hard-to-find ingredients, scale for a crowd, convert US ↔ metric, and give an instant nutrition and allergen breakdown — all in a quick chat. It can even read a recipe from a photo or a cooking video. (Part of Premium+.)

MAKE IT A HOBBY YOU SHARE Post your cooks to a photo feed, give a Chef's Kiss, and swap tips in the comments. Message friends and groups directly, and drop a recipe into the chat. Add friends with a friend code, start a Cooking Group, take on monthly challenges, and relive your top recipes with Year in Flavors.

FAMILY SECRETS, KEPT SECRET Grandma's recipe stays in the family. The Family Secrets vault protects recipes right on your device, with optional passphrase encryption.

Available in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese.

FREE TO START CookwithFriends is free — build a cookbook, import from the web and social, share live grocery lists, and plan trips and potlucks. Free cookbooks hold up to 10 recipes.

Premium unlocks unlimited recipes, recipe sharing, and cross-device sync.

Premium+ adds Sous Sprout, your AI sous-chef — recipe simplification, instant nutrition and allergen info, conversational scaling and conversion, and AI import from videos and photos. It includes everything in Premium.

Premium is an auto-renewing subscription or a one-time purchase (which unlocks Premium for as long as the app remains available and supported); Premium+ is an auto-renewing subscription. Renewal charges your Apple ID within 24 hours before the period ends unless auto-renew is off at least 24 hours prior. Manage or cancel in Settings > your Apple ID > Subscriptions.
