SpinRecipe

The recipes you saved, one spin away.

Share a recipe from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Threads or Safari, and SpinRecipe writes it onto an index card with a proper name. When nobody can decide what to cook, spin.

Eight sample cards. Try a spin.

From a post to a card

No typing. The recipe comes from the post you were already looking at.

  1. No. 1

    Share it

    On a recipe post or page, tap Share, then SpinRecipe. A short sheet shows the card before you save it.

  2. No. 2

    It's written up

    The dish gets a short name and up to three tags: cuisine, main ingredient and style. If the caption holds a recipe, its ingredients and steps go on the card too, and the card gets a red corner.

  3. No. 3

    Spin for dinner

    Spin in the app and the stack streams past until one card lands. Tap Cook this to open it, or Spin again.

Spin from your Home Screen

Tap the dice and the widget rolls through your recipes and lands on one, without opening the app. Tap the recipe to open it.

  • Small is the photo and the dice: the quickest way to answer "what should I eat?"
  • Medium adds how long it takes and what goes in it, and a Want to cook button to keep it for later.
  • Large lists the first ingredients, and keeps the last two picks a tap away if you spun past a good one.
  • Choose what each widget spins from: the time of day, your Want to cook list, or one meal time. Breakfast in the morning, dinner after three.

Also on the desk

  • Stacks by meal time. Breakfast, dinner, snacks, or times you name yourself.
  • Want to cook. Mark a card and it leads its own pile.
  • A grocery list. Add a recipe's ingredients, then tick them off in the shop.
  • Your own notes and rating on every card.
  • English titles for captions written in any language, if you want them.
  • Search by dish name or tag.
  • Every card on every device, through your own iCloud.
  • Light and dark. At night the desk goes dark and the cards stay paper.
