Simmer & Sear
A recipe box that’s actually yours.
Import your whole Paprika library in one pass, save recipes from the web, plan the week, shop once, and cook with the screen awake — no accounts, no tracking, no lock-in.
In beta now. Your recipes are closer than you think.
Cook, shop, sync. No lock-in.
A library that keeps up
Grid or list, categories, favorites, ratings — and search that reads titles, ingredients, directions, even the source. Trash keeps deletions for 30 days.
Move in from Paprika
Import a whole .paprikarecipes archive — photos, categories, and ratings included. Re-imports are duplicate-safe: skip, replace, or merge.
Save recipes from the web
Paste a link and Simmer & Sear reads the recipe data most sites publish, keeping the source with the recipe. Stubborn page? Clip it manually.
One list, no repeats
Send any recipe — or the whole week — to groceries. Quantities merge, items group by aisle, and what your pantry already has stays off the list.
Plan the week, shop once
Lay out breakfasts through dinners, then one tap turns the whole week into a grocery list — servings adjustments included.
Cook without squinting
Big, readable steps that keep the screen awake. Timers are detected right in the text — run several at once. Scale ×½ to ×4, metric or US units.
Private by design.
The App Store privacy label reads “Data Not Collected” — because none is. No servers, no accounts, and the developer cannot see your data.
- No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking.
- Sync runs through your own private iCloud database — and everything works fully offline.
- Export your entire library as JSON, anytime. Never locked in.
