Kitchive
Your recipes, on your phone.
Save, scale and cook — share a link, photograph a page or the plate itself, and Kitchive hands you a draft to check. No account, no sign-up, nothing kept on a server.
Share a link, get a recipe
Found something on TikTok, YouTube or a recipe site? Share it to Kitchive and it reads the recipe out — ingredients, steps, times — into a draft you check before anything is saved.
Point your camera at it
A cookbook page, a handwritten card — or the dish itself. A page is read as written; a plate becomes a recipe to check. The photo becomes the recipe's picture.
Read it with AI, or don't
A link asks first, naming exactly what would leave your phone; the paste and photo screens print that sentence before you act. Say no to a link and it still reads on the device. Three AI reads are free; Pro makes it thirty a day.
Never invents a quantity
If the post doesn't say how much, the field is left blank for you. A missing amount is a five-second fix; a wrong one ruins dinner.
Scale without the arithmetic
Change the servings and every quantity follows — a third of a cup times one and a half is half a cup, not 0.4999. Metric or imperial for reading, without rewriting what you saved.
Cook mode
One step at a time in large type, the screen stays awake, and any step that mentions a time gets a timer that keeps running when you leave the app.
Find it again
Search titles, ingredients, tags and the creator you got it from. Filter by rating, tag, time, or favourites.
Make it yours
Six palettes in light and dark, three card layouts — all free — and everything readable: contrast checked, Dynamic Type respected, VoiceOver throughout.
Yours to keep
Export every recipe as readable JSON whenever you like and import it back. Optional sync through your own private iCloud, off unless you turn it on.
English, Deutsch, Türkçe
Fully localised in three languages. Recipes read with AI come back in the app's language, and a dish keeps its own name.
Private by design
Every recipe lives on your phone. There is no account, no e-mail, no password, and no copy of your recipes on our servers. Delete the app and it is all gone — unless you turned on iCloud sync, in which case the copy in your own iCloud stays.
Anonymous usage statistics are off unless you switch them on. The privacy policy is written to be checkable, not reassuring: every claim in it corresponds to something in the app's source.
