Stop Scrolling Past Life Stories to Find a Recipe

RecipeDrop strips away the ads, pop-ups, and 2,000-word preambles from recipe websites. Save recipes from 611+ sites. Plan meals. Cook step by step. No ads, ever.

RecipeDrop Recipe Vault with saved recipes

Every Recipe Website Has the Same Problem

You just want to make dinner. Instead, you get this:

The Life Story

You came for a pasta recipe. Instead you are reading about someone's transformative trip to Tuscany in 2014 and how this dish reminds them of their grandmother's kitchen. Scroll, scroll, scroll.

The Ad Avalanche

Adverts between every paragraph. Autoplay videos that follow you down the page. Pop-ups asking if you want to subscribe. All while you are trying to read with flour on your hands.

The Vanishing Recipe

You bookmarked a recipe last month. Now the page has been redesigned, the URL has changed, or the whole site is behind a paywall. Your saved recipes should not disappear.

RecipeDrop Strips It All Away

Paste any recipe URL. RecipeDrop extracts just the ingredients and method — nothing else. Save it to your personal vault. It is yours forever, even offline.

RecipeDrop clean recipe import view

Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't

Import from 611+ Sites

BBC Good Food, Allrecipes, Jamie Oliver, NYT Cooking, and hundreds more. Plus TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Paste the URL and go.

Your Personal Vault

Every recipe you save goes into a searchable collection on your phone. Organise into folders, find anything instantly. No account needed.

Kitchen Mode

Full-screen, step-by-step instructions with large text. Built-in timers with audio alerts. Your screen stays on so you never have to unlock with messy hands.

Meal Planning

Drag recipes into breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack slots for every day of the week. Navigate between weeks. No more 6pm fridge staring.

Smart Shopping Lists

Auto-generated from your meal plan. Duplicates are merged, units are converted, and items are grouped by supermarket aisle. Tick off as you shop.

Portion Scaling

Cooking for two instead of four? Hosting a dinner party for eight? Adjust the servings and all ingredient quantities update automatically.

Questions You Might Have

Is it really free? What's the catch?

There is no catch. RecipeDrop is completely free, has no ads, and does not sell your data. It is built by Overpass Apps, a small UK development company. We may add optional premium features in the future, but the core app will always be free.

Do I need to create an account?

No. RecipeDrop works entirely on your device with no account, no login, and no sign-up. Your recipes are stored locally on your phone.

What happens to my data?

Your recipes, meal plans, and shopping lists stay on your device. The only time data leaves your phone is when you import a recipe — RecipeDrop sends the URL (not your data) to a server to fetch the recipe content. No analytics, no tracking, no data selling.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Once a recipe is saved, you can access it completely offline. You only need an internet connection to import new recipes.

What if a recipe website is not supported?

RecipeDrop supports 611+ sites natively. For unsupported sites, it tries to extract recipe data from the page structure. If that fails, an AI assistant analyses the content as a final fallback. Between these three methods, most recipes on the internet are covered.

Can I import video recipes from TikTok or Instagram?

Yes. Paste the video URL and RecipeDrop's AI assistant will extract the recipe for you. It works with TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

What about family recipes that aren't online?

Use the Manual Entry feature. Type in the recipe name, ingredients, and method steps. It takes a couple of minutes and your recipe joins the vault alongside your imported ones.

Will my recipes be lost if I delete the app?

If your device is backed up to iCloud (iOS) or Google (Android), your data should be restored when you reinstall. We are working on cloud sync for a future version to make this even more reliable.

Your Recipes. No Rubbish.
