The Recipe App for the Whole Household

One Kitchen. Everyone's Phones.

Recipes, the week's plan, one live grocery list, on every phone in the house. Check off eggs in the store and they vanish everywhere.

Free on iPhone, iPad, and Android. One household shares one recipe box, one week’s plan, and one grocery list.

Made for the Whole Household, on Every Phone

In most homes one person ends up keeping the recipes, the grocery list lives in a text thread, and "what do you want for dinner" gets asked every night. Helpings makes the household the account, so the recipe box, the week's plan, and one live grocery list sit on every phone in the house.

One Grocery List, Live on Every Phone

Add an item at home and it shows up on your partner's phone at the store, in your store's aisle order. Check it off and it's gone for everyone. No screenshots, no "did you grab milk" texts.

Keep the Recipe, Scale for Tonight

Helpings saves the source recipe and its original yield as written. Change the serving scale on the recipe screen when you need it without overwriting the source.

Import From a Link or a Photo

Paste a link, or point your camera at a cookbook page, a recipe card, or Grandma's handwriting. Helpings reads it in about 20 seconds and files it in the shared box. Nothing gets retyped.

A Recipe Box With a Memory

Everything you save lands in one shared box, with each person's ratings, notes, and a "last made 3 weeks ago" history. When nobody remembers what everyone liked, the box does.

Plan the Week Once

Drop meals onto the week, then one tap adds every ingredient to the shared list with quantities merged. The other six nights, dinner's already decided.

Cook Mode That Holds Your Place

Big readable steps and built-in timers keep the recipe focused while you cook. It keeps working through a WiFi blip mid-cook.

Straight From the App

Not mockups. These are screenshots from a real household's Helpings, cooking real dinners this week.

What We're Building Next

Helpings already runs your household's recipe box, weekly plan, and live grocery list. Here's what's coming to make it even harder to leave.

Planned

Import Straight From Social

See a recipe on TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube? Tap Share, send it to Helpings, and review the ingredients and steps before saving them to your box.

Planned

Pantry Staples

Tell Helpings what you always keep on hand, like salt, olive oil, and the spice rack, and it quietly leaves those off the shared shopping list.

Planned

Weekly Reset

Tell Helpings which nights are busy, let the household choose from recipes you already trust, and turn the agreed week into one shared list.

Plans, not promises. We build what households actually ask for, so tell us what you want next.
