What people say, unprompted.
“You need cooklang - not notion. Changed my life. … You can also upload a picture/screenshot of your pdf page etc and do it like that. I’ve shilled this to everyone in my life for like a month when I found it, its just so neat.”
“It works like a charm, even with my left-handed handwriting! I just discovered this feature, and I know I won't have to type it all by hand.”
“Je te recommande cook.md. J'ai eut exactement le même soucis que toi et, même si ça demande un peu de travail de mise en place, je trouve l'appli super pratique.”
Translation: I recommend cook.md. I had exactly the same problem as you and, even though it takes a bit of setting up, I find the app really handy.
Your recipes on every device.
Write on the desktop, cook from the phone. Cook Cloud keeps one folder of plain .cook files in sync across the editor, the mobile apps and the sync agent on your computer. Offline first, so the kitchen never waits on a signal. Sync comes with Cook Basic.
Bring everything you already have.
Paste a link from any recipe site and it arrives as a clean .cook file, free. Cookbook photos, YouTube, TikTok and Instagram links, and moving a whole library from Paprika, Mela, Mealie and seven other apps come with Cook Basic.
A week planned from your own recipes.
Set a target, more protein, no gluten, a smaller shop. CookBot drafts the week from your recipes and pantry, checks it against the target, and fixes what misses, as a diff you approve. Plan in the Cook Editor, cook from your phone. Nutrition checks come with Cook Pro.
See it on a real week.
Numbers on every plan.
Nutrition lookup for reports and targets, and Cook MCP, an open-source MCP server so Cursor, ChatGPT or any agent you already use can work with your recipe folder, with nutrition attached. English ingredient names for now.
Your files, encrypted in transit, readable by you.
Recipes travel to Cook Cloud over TLS and live on servers in the EU. They’re plain text, so you can export the whole folder at any time and keep cooking without us. CookBot conversations aren’t used to train AI models.
Privacy policy →Who builds this, and where the money goes.
Cooklang is built by Alexey Dubovskoy, one person, since 2021. The language, the parsers, the CLI and the Cook Editor are open source and stay that way. Cook Cloud subscriptions pay for the servers, the AI compute, and the time to keep the free tools free.
- Open source: spec, parsers, CLI, editor. On GitHub →
- Free forever: the mobile apps, unlimited recipe-site imports, and sync through your own folder (Dropbox, iCloud, Syncthing).
- Paid: what runs on our servers or costs compute per use.
