That stained recipe card from your grandmother. The screenshot you saved and forgot about. The Instagram recipe you bookmarked months ago. The TikTok cooking video you keep meaning to try. Bring them all home to one place with Kich.
Kich is a free recipe organizer app for families and home cooks. Scan and digitize handwritten recipe cards, save recipes from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and any food blog, and organize everything into one searchable collection. Share it all with your family in a shared cookbook everyone can add to.
Three steps. That's it. No typing. No formatting. Just recipes, ready to cook.
Kich reads handwritten recipe cards and cookbook pages. Take a photo and it figures out what's an ingredient and what's a step, then organizes everything into a formatted recipe card. The original photo stays attached so you always have the handwriting right alongside the clean version. It works with cursive, print, and everything in between. The best handwritten recipe scanner app available.
Stop losing recipes from social media. Share a link from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or any food blog directly to Kich. It reads captions, transcripts, and page content to extract the actual recipe with ingredients and steps separated out. No more pausing videos or scrolling past life stories to find the measurements. The easiest way to save recipes from social media to your phone.
Create a shared cookbook and invite your family with a link. Everyone joins, everyone can browse and cook from the collection, and anyone can add their own recipes. Mom's brisket, your sister's cookies, grandma's challah, all in one place the whole family can access from any device.
Plan your meals for the week by dragging recipes onto a calendar. Create printable menus for holidays, Shabbos, or any occasion. Kich can suggest what to make based on what's in your fridge and what you're in the mood for. The best recipe app with meal planning and grocery list built in.
Add ingredients from any recipe to your grocery list with one tap. Kich organizes your list by the stores you actually shop at, with items sorted by aisle. Check off items as you go. Create shared grocery lists so everyone can add what they need and see updates in real time. No more wandering the store trying to remember what you need.
Follow recipes step-by-step with built-in timers that notify you when each step is done. Scale any recipe up or down, check off ingredients as you cook, and track multiple active cooking sessions at once.
Track what's in your fridge, freezer, and pantry with barcode scanning. Log meals and track calories, protein, carbs, and fat. Set up allergen profiles so you always know which recipes are safe for your family.
