Braisery

A quick tour

Recipes that come alive in your hands.

Save and organize.

Group recipes into cookbooks the way you actually cook — "Weeknight Dinners," "Holiday Favorites," "Things The Kids Will Eat." Heart what you love, skip the folder hierarchy.

Weeknight Dinners 12 recipes
Holiday Favorites 8 recipes
Sunday Brunch Just created

Cook hands-free.

One step per screen. Big tap targets. The screen stays on. Inline timers parse from the recipe text — tap to start, run a few at once, hear a chime when each one fires.

STEP 3 OF 6

Sear the beef in batches until deeply browned on all sides.

0:30 Running

Scale on the fly.

Cooking for two when the recipe serves six? Tap a multiplier and watch quantities re-render — as fractions where they should be, monospaced so they don't reflow under your eye.

1× 2× 4×
  • 4 cups flour
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 6 eggs

Amounts, right where you need them.

Toggle on inline amounts and quantities pop into the step text — so you're not flipping back to the ingredient list with floury hands.

Amounts ON

STEP 2

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and ½ tsp salt until combined.

Import from anywhere.

Paste a URL or use the share sheet. Braisery parses schema.org/Recipe and falls back gracefully when sites get creative. Paprika, Mela, and Crouton imports too.

And the rest.

Shopping list by aisle

One tap adds a whole recipe. Quantities consolidate; items group by produce, dairy, pantry. Check off as you go.

Full-text search

SQLite FTS5 under the hood — search titles, ingredients, notes, instructions instantly across thousands of recipes.

iCloud sync (optional)

Toggle it on and recipes plus photos sync via your private CloudKit container. No third party in the middle.

PDF & JSON export

Print a recipe card, share a PDF, or back up your library to JSON. Your data leaves the way it came in.

Native on every device

iPhone, iPad, Mac — one app, native everywhere. Menu-bar commands, dock menu, hover affordances, keyboard shortcuts.

VoiceOver in cook mode

Wet hands? Spoken steps and timers, accessibility-first contrast, Dynamic Type from XS through accessibility-XXXL.

Data not collected

Your recipes are yours.

Braisery has no servers. No accounts. No analytics. The App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected" — and we keep it that way.

  • No login. Your identity is your device and your iCloud — not an email and password.
  • No tracking. No analytics SDKs, no crash reporters phoning home, no third-party ads.
  • Sync is opt-in. When enabled, it goes Apple-to-Apple via your private CloudKit container.
  • AI is opt-in & BYOK. Bring an Anthropic key if you want it. Stored in Keychain, on your device.
  • Network is rare. Only when you import a URL, sync, or use AI. Everything else is local.

Questions, answered.

Does Braisery work offline?

Yes — fully. Network is only used for URL imports, optional iCloud sync, and optional bring-your-own-key AI features. Everything else lives on your device.

Where are my recipes stored?

In SwiftData on your device. Photos live in the app's Documents folder. If you turn on iCloud sync, the data flows through your private CloudKit container — Apple to Apple, with no third party in the middle.

Can I get my data out?

Anytime. Export individual recipes as PDF, or your whole library as JSON. Your data is yours.

Is this a subscription?

No. Braisery is a one-time purchase. Buy it once, every feature is yours, on every Apple device you own.

What about Android / Windows / web?

Braisery is a native Apple-platform app — built in Swift with SwiftUI and SwiftData. There are no plans for other platforms.
