// SCORE BREAKDOWN
Premium universal recipe app with native SwiftUI implementation, no ads/subscriptions, and cross-platform consistency reflects indie excellence.
// ABOUT
Braisery is a personal recipe library for phone, tablet, and laptop. One $19.99 purchase. Universal across every Apple device you own. No accounts. No ads. No subscription. No tracking. YOUR KITCHEN, ON EVERY DEVICE Browse your library on the couch, scale a recipe at the counter, and run hands-free Cook Mode while the timer counts down. Your recipes look and feel native on every platform — built with SwiftUI, not borrowed from another phone. IMPORT FROM ANYWHERE Paste a link from any recipe site and Braisery strips the food-blog intro down to the actual recipe. The parser runs on your device when your phone or Mac supports Apple Intelligence — no cloud round-trip, no API key, no waiting on someone else's servers. COOK MODE Big text. Tap-to-start timers parsed from the step body. Screen stays awake while you cook. Wet-hands VoiceOver throughout. Designed for the moment between the cutting board and the stove, not for scrolling. SHOPPING LIST Consolidate ingredients across every recipe you're cooking this week. The list groups by aisle, dedupes "3 lemons + 2 lemons → 5 lemons", and checks off as you go. Print to take it on the go. COOKBOOKS Group recipes any way you want — by occasion, by family member, by season. Weeknight, holiday, in-laws. 27 STARTER RECIPE PACKS Don't start empty. Tap to install Italian, French Pastry, Southern & Soul, Weeknight Dinners, Japanese, and twenty-two more. Curated, not auto-installed — your library stays yours. iCLOUD SYNC, ONLY IF YOU WANT IT Off by default. When you turn it on, recipes sync between your own devices through your own iCloud account — Apple to Apple, never through a Braisery backend. Privacy label reads "Data Not Collected" and stays true. ANNUAL MAJOR UPGRADES, NEVER FORCED Braisery 2 and 3 will be new App Store SKUs. You always get to keep the version you bought. Point releases (2026.1, 2026.2…) are free. NOT FOR YOU? Apple makes refunds easy. But first — email hello@braisery.com and I'll do everything I can to make Braisery work for you. Many "refund-worthy" frustrations are a five-minute fix on my end. Built by one developer who got tired of recipe apps that wanted his account, his data, and a monthly fee. No accounts. No data. No fee.
