About Recipe-Clipper

Recipe-Clipper is built by a solo developer who got tired of the same problem every home cook faces: you find a great recipe online, but it's buried under ads, pop-ups, and someone's life story. You bookmark it, and six months later the site has changed or the bookmark is lost.

So I built the tool I wanted. One click on any recipe page and you get a clean recipe card — just ingredients and instructions. It saves to your personal cloud cookbook, works on your phone, and never disappears.

What Recipe-Clipper Does

At its core, Recipe-Clipper extracts recipes from websites and turns them into clean, organized recipe cards. But it's grown into a full cooking companion:

  • Browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge — one-click extraction
  • Photo import — snap a picture of a handwritten recipe card, cookbook page, or restaurant menu and AI turns it into a digital recipe
  • Cook mode — step-by-step view with ingredient checkoff, timers, and wake lock so your screen stays on while you cook
  • Smart scaling — double a recipe without doubling the salt
  • Offline access — install as an app on your phone and cook without WiFi
  • PDF export — print your cookbook or share it with family

Prep It — Your AI Kitchen Assistant

Recipe-Clipper includes Prep It, a built-in AI assistant that helps with the parts of cooking that happen before and after you open a recipe:

  • Meal planning — tell it what you're in the mood for, your dietary needs, or what's in your fridge, and it builds a plan
  • Recipe discovery — describe a dish you had at a restaurant or a craving, and it finds or creates a recipe
  • Substitutions — out of buttermilk? It knows what works and what doesn't
  • Scaling help — beyond simple math, like adjusting bake times when you double a cake
  • Shopping lists — generates consolidated, categorized lists from your meal plan or selected recipes
  • Cooking guidance — ask it anything while you cook, from “is this done?” to “what does fold mean?”

For power users, Recipe-Clipper also offers an MCP server — a standard protocol that lets you access your recipe collection from Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI app that supports MCP. Search recipes, add new ones, manage your shopping list, and more, all from whatever AI tool you already use.

Built for People Who Cook

Every feature comes from real kitchen frustration. The timer exists because I kept burning things. Smart scaling exists because I once tripled a chili recipe and added triple the cayenne. Photo import exists because the best recipes are always on handwritten index cards in someone's kitchen drawer.

Recipe-Clipper is a small, independent product. There's no venture capital, no growth team, no tracking pixels. Just a useful tool that does what it says, built by someone who uses it every day.
