Where Honeydew is stronger

  • Works in ChatGPT. Remote MCP connector (https://mcp.honeydewcook.app/mcp) added as a custom connector; MCP page shows a ChatGPT demo; OAuth sign-in, no API key; not a listed ChatGPT app (custom connector, likely needs ChatGPT developer mode) honeydewcook.com ReciMe: not found on its own pages
  • Works in Claude. 'Connect to Claude' connector added in v1.8.5 (Aug 2026); site banner 'Chat with your recipes in Claude' App Store ReciMe: not found on its own pages

A third option: Saucepan

Saucepan is our app. It has interactive cards in the chat, receipt scanning, Live Activities and Siri and Shortcuts actions, which neither ReciMe nor Honeydew shows on its own pages.

What to know first: it launches on November 13, 2026, so it has no track record or ratings yet. It is on iPhone, and runs on iPad. Android is coming soon. Where ReciMe or Honeydew is ahead of it: sending the list to grocery delivery and Android.
