Recipe library
Just give me the forkin recipe.
So we built the app that does. Forkin saves a clean copy from supported recipe pages (ingredients, steps, nothing else) into a library you own.
Then edit your copy as your cooking changes. Fork only when you want a connected second version; both recipes remain.
Skip the cluttered recipe page.
Save a clean recipe you can cook from.

We measured five popular recipe pages. Average page: 628 KB of HTML. Average recipe inside it: 1.8 KB. Up to twenty ad and tracking vendors. Ad slots are calculated as a percentage of the page’s pixel height (longer post, more ads). That’s not a theory, it’s in the ad network’s documentation.
A library.
Save recipes from your favorite sites. Organize your picks and keep them synced across your devices.
Playlists
Weeknight rotation. Sunday slow cooks. Whatever your shelves actually look like.
Yours offline
The copy lives in your library, not on someone's server that expires.
Cook Mode
Big type, no sleeping screen, no touching the phone with garlic hands.
Three verbs. That’s the whole app.
Save it to your library. Edit it to your taste. Fork it every way you cook it.
Save
To your library.
A clean, structured copy lands in your library with its source attached. Save from a supported recipe page or type it by hand.
Edit
To your taste.
You change your copy. Same recipe, updated. Nothing new is created.
Fork
Every way you cook it.
Each fork creates a new recipe with full history and attribution back to the original. Fork it again whenever you need another branch.
Saving is how a recipe gets into your library. Forking creates a new connected recipe without changing its parent.
Lineage
Every recipe is somebody's fork.
Fork one of your recipes to try a change. Tweak the new version while keeping its edit history and where it started.
Grandma's Pasta was forked by three cooks; your fork descends from Creamy Vodka, which also has a separate variation

The strawberry is doing the swearing so we don’t have to.
It doesn’t become ours later.
Multi-format export is planned, but it is not available yet. We are making that clear now because your recipes should remain portable, and we’re not going to wake up one Tuesday and decide your own recipes cost money.
- Multi-format export is planned and will not require a paid plan.
- What's free stays free. We won't paywall recipes you already saved.
No testimonials yet. We just built the thing.
Your recipes deserve better than a browser tab.
Save the clean ones. Build the library. Cook from it.
