Paste a link, keep the recipe

Drop in a recipe page or an Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, or YouTube post. Daily Simmer turns it into a clean recipe: title, ingredients, steps, servings, and timing, with a photo and the place it came from.

A cook asks Simmer to make a chili-lime salmon bowl recipe vegetarian for guests, and Simmer swaps the salmon for tofu and holds the changes for review before they save.

Cook it your way

Guests coming over? Ask Simmer, your AI sous chef, to make it vegetarian. It swaps what needs swapping and rewrites the steps that change, and you see every change before it saves.

  • Every change is shown side by side before it lands.
  • Want to keep both versions? Remix it: a linked copy that is yours to change, with the original untouched.
  • Start from an idea, a craving, or whatever is in the fridge.

Cook history
Every recipe remembers when you last made it and how often.
Sharing

Plan it, shop it, cook it

Place saved recipes on the week, add what you need to one shopping list, then cook with the current step and its timers in front of you.

Plan your first week
  1. A Daily Simmer week plan with lunch and dinner on most days and two breakfasts, with each dinner's leftovers kept for the next day's lunch.

Questions, answered

What can I add to my library?

Recipe websites, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube posts, photos of handwritten or printed recipes, recipes you write yourself, and recipes Simmer helps you create from an idea.

Can I bring my recipes from another app?

Yes. Export a backup from the app you use now and upload it to the import wizard. It shows you what it found, brings each recipe across with its photo, and leaves the app you left untouched. See which apps it works with.

What does Free include?

Up to 25 recipes, imports from recipe websites, 5 social-post imports a month, planning, shopping lists, and cooking mode. Free also includes weekly AI usage. No card needed.

Will a recipe change without my approval?

No. When Simmer proposes a change you see the before and after first. Keep it, ask for something different, or discard it. When you want a second version, say a spicier take on a family favourite, make a Remix: a linked copy that is yours to change while the original stays exactly as it was.

Where can I use it?

In any modern browser on your desktop, tablet, and phone. Cooking mode and shopping lists are built for the counter and the aisle.

Do I keep control of my recipes?

Yes. Export everything as a restorable archive or portable recipe JSON from Settings whenever you like, and delete anything for good. Our privacy policy explains what we store and why.
