How we ranked

Saving, planning and cooking, plus the iPhone extras that show outside the app: widgets, Live Activities, Apple Watch and Siri.

  • To qualify, an app must have “Save from websites” (Yes, not Partly). Closed apps and general tools like Apple Notes and Notion are left out.
  • Score: 2 points for Yes, 1 for Partly, 0 for No, Not found or Coming, over 12 features: Save from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Save from websites, Scan cookbook pages and cards, Meal plan, Grocery list, Shared with a household, Cook mode, Timers, Widgets, Live Activities, Apple Watch and Siri and Shortcuts. Most is 24.
  • Apps with no App Store update since November 2025 go below the ones that are kept up.
  • Ties go to the app with more US App Store ratings. Saucepan has none yet, so it goes below any app it ties with.
  • “Not found” scores zero: we credit only what an app’s own pages show. That can undercount an app that does more than its pages say.

Saucepan is our app. It is scored from its own feature list by the same rule.
