Getting started

Saucepan is an iPhone recipe app. It saves recipes from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, Facebook, websites, cookbook pages and handwritten cards. Then it helps you plan the week, shop and cook. Example: share a Reel of shakshuka, and Saucepan saves the ingredients and steps. See how saving works.

Saucepan launches on November 13, 2026. It is for iPhone. Android is coming soon.

Install Saucepan from the App Store, open it, and save one recipe. You do not need an account to start. Example: open a recipe video, tap Share, choose Saucepan, then tap Open Saucepan.

Tap Share in the app where you found the recipe, then choose Saucepan. Tap Open Saucepan, check the recipe, and save it. If Saucepan is not in the Share row, scroll to the end, tap More, and turn it on. More on saving.

No. Saucepan works without an account, and your recipes stay on your device. Sign in only if you want sync across devices, Cook Together, or community features like publishing and following. Read the full answer.

It saves recipes, plans your week, builds one grocery list, and cooks hands-free. It can also scan a grocery receipt to fill your Pantry, then show which saved recipes you can make tonight. Allergy and diet flags are included. See all features.

Yes, and it has no ads. Saving recipes, Cook Mode, timers, meal plans, groceries, sharing and diet and allergy flags are free. Saucepan+ is optional: $4.99 a month or $34.99 a year, with a 7-day free trial. See pricing.

Saucepan is built for iPhone and also runs on iPad. The App Store listing shows the iOS version it needs. Some features need a newer iOS: timers that ring on silent need iOS 26.1 or later, and reading recipes on your phone needs a phone that supports Apple Intelligence.

Saucepan is in 21 languages, including Arabic and Hebrew with full right-to-left support. It follows your device language, or you can pick one for the app. See the full list.

Saucepan is made by Aaron Gold, doing business as Gold Tech Solutions, in the United States. You can reach the team at support@getsaucepan.com.

A bookmark saves a link. Saucepan saves the recipe: ingredients, steps and timers, in your own saved copy. Apple Notes is free and fine for a few recipes. See how Saucepan compares.
