I got frustrated with outdated Nextcloud Cookbook apps, so I built a modern, open-source alternative with full offline sync (iOS/Android) 🥑
Hey r/Nextcloud,
Like many of you, I host my recipes using Nextcloud Cookbook. But the mobile experience was frustrating me: the existing apps haven't seen updates in a while, and the offline support wasn't completely fitting my needs when cooking in places with bad Wi-Fi.
So, I spent the last few months scratching my own itch and built AvoCook.
It’s a 100% free and open-source mobile client. My main goal was to make the offline experience seamless. It uses a local SQLite database, meaning you can browse your recipes, edit them, or even create new ones entirely offline. Everything goes into a sync queue and pushes back to your Nextcloud instance when your connection returns.
Other core features:
- Direct parsing of recipe websites (JSON-LD schema.org).
- Screen-awake toggle while cooking.
- Dark mode and adaptive UI (Glassmorphism on iOS, clean Material on Android).
My PR to be added to the official Cookbook README was just accepted, so I'm super excited to share it with the community today!
