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. One price covers everyone.
The free plan stays free forever. One email when invites open, nothing else.
Open the most loved recipe manager on the market and ask how your partner gets access. The official answer is to share one login. So one person becomes the keeper of the recipes, the grocery list lives in a text thread, and "what do you want for dinner?" gets asked into the void every single night. Helpings starts from the other end: the household is the account. One box, one plan, one live list, on every phone in the house. The name says the rest: second helpings, and helping each other cook.
Add an item at home and it appears on your partner's phone at the store, sorted in your store's aisle order. Check it off and everyone sees it instantly. No screenshots, no "did you grab milk" texts, no second trip.
A 5-question quiz teaches Helpings your kitchen once. After that, every import lands at your serving count, with the amounts written into each step. Nobody scrolls back to the ingredient list with wet hands, and nobody does portion math at 6 pm.
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, ever.
Every save lands in one shared box on every phone in the house, with ratings from each member, dated notes, and a cooked history that says "last made 3 weeks ago." When nobody remembers what everyone liked, the box does.
Drop meals onto the week view, then one tap adds every ingredient to the shared list, quantities merged. That is the entire Sunday ritual. The other six nights, dinner is already decided before anyone has to ask.
Big readable steps, built-in timers, and the measurements right there in the sentence. Your thumbs are covered in olive oil; the recipe does not care. An offline cache keeps it working through a WiFi blip mid-cook.
You paid once, you kept your data, and you liked it that way. So do we. If you are shopping for a new home for a recipe box you spent years building, you deserve a straight answer instead of a sales pitch. Here it is: Helpings keeps the things you loved and fixes the things you have wanted for years.
People who love recipe apps carry scars: a sync outage that ate years of recipes, a migration that lost the box, a support inbox that went quiet for a month. So Helpings treats trust as architecture, not a promise. Your entire box exports to a single file you own, in one tap, free, forever, whether or not you ever pay us. Your recipes live in the cloud and in an offline cache on your phone, so a WiFi blip changes nothing mid-cook or mid-store. There are no ads, and your household's data is never sold. If we ever let you down, you walk out with everything. That is the deal, and it is why we work hard not to let you down.

Join the WaitlistEvery Plus feature, the whole household, forever. No renewal, ever.
If a subscription is the reason you are leaving your old recipe app, this is your door in.
Join the WaitlistThe Android app is built and working now, at version 1.5. We are opening it to the waitlist in small groups ahead of public launch. Join the list and you get an invite, not a marketing drip.
Yes. The shared recipe box, realtime grocery list, link import, the meal plan week view, serving scaler, aisle sorting, cook mode, and full export stay free for good. Plus only covers the AI effort-savers on top. There is no trial timer waiting to take features back, and we will never move a feature you rely on behind the paywall.
One Plus subscription unlocks every member on every device. Two cooks, four phones, and a tablet on the counter still add up to $3.99 a month or $29.99 a year, total. You will never pay per person or per platform.
Helpings launches on Android first, and iOS is planned. Because the price is per household rather than per platform, your subscription already covers the iPhone the day it arrives.
You take everything with you. One tap exports your entire box to a file you own, free on every plan, forever. If you stop paying, the free core keeps working and your recipes never pause. We would rather earn next month than hold your recipes hostage.
Helpings is real and running on Android today. Join the waitlist to put your household first in line when invites open. The free plan stays free forever.
