Made a free recipe app from my room in Kathmandu. Now strangers around the world are using it. Would love your feedback!

Namaste! I made a small app called Recipe Jar. You paste a recipe link and it gives you just the ingredients and steps, and you can save it on your phone. No account, completely free, works offline.

Recipe Card

Cook Mode

You can also type in family recipes, or take a photo of a printed one, so they don't get lost.

It's at recipejar.app. Would love feedback, and if some recipe site doesn't import properly, tell me and I'll fix it.

recipe-jar: local-first recipe keeper. Paste a URL, get a clean card, unlimited on-device saves (Svelte 5, MIT)

The "just the recipe" tools went freemium (20 to 40 saves, then pay). This one can't, structurally: recipes are stored in the browser (IndexedDB), the site is static, and the one server function is a stateless proxy. Free forever because there's nothing to charge for.

Svelte 5 + TypeScript + Dexie, ~70 KB gzipped, WCAG-audited, e2e-tested on four engines. Most useful contribution is teaching the parser a site that doesn't import; CONTRIBUTING.md has a guide.
