Before you put the kettle on.

What can I use for free?
All kitchen tools are free without an account. Guests get one server chef answer, then the on-device engine can keep helping. A free account includes 15 server messages a day; Premium is $12.99/month for 90 a day. Local answers do not use a server message.
Is every answer generated by AI?
No. The web chat handles supported conversions, recipe scaling, known substitutions and common cooking fixes with our on-device engine. Other requests use a third-party AI service through our server. AI can make mistakes: check allergies, ingredient labels and safe cooking temperatures.
Do I need an account or an app?
Neither is required to try the website. An account lets you save recipes and history. The native Android app also opens as a guest, with optional sign-in using the same account.
What works without a connection?
Previously loaded recipe data can be used by the on-device engine. Server-generated answers, account syncing and first-time data downloads need a connection. Keep the page open or use the Android app; the website is not guaranteed to reopen offline.

Let's make something
with what you've got.
