For reviews & round-ups

Braisery is a personal recipe library for the Apple ecosystem, designed for people who cook from real recipes and want them in one trusted place. It's a single $19.99 universal purchase that unlocks the full app on iPhone, iPad, and Mac — no per-platform fees, no subscription, no "Pro" tier, no advertising. Every feature is available to every user, on every device, forever.

Recipes import from any website that uses schema.org/Recipe, with on-device Apple Foundation Models filling in when JSON-LD is missing. Cook Mode runs one step per screen with parsed timers, big tap targets, a wake lock so the screen stays on, and full VoiceOver support for wet hands. Servings scale with a tap, ingredients render as fractions where they should, and a built-in shopping list groups items by aisle and consolidates duplicates across recipes.

The whole app works offline — network is only used for URL import and optional iCloud sync. iCloud sync is opt-in and goes Apple-to-Apple through a private CloudKit container. The App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected" — no analytics, no crash reporters that phone home, no third-party SDKs. Your recipes live on your devices and travel with you.

For features & profiles

Braisery is a personal recipe library built natively for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It exists for the same reason people once kept a three-ring binder on the kitchen shelf — to put every recipe they actually cook in one place they trust, that works whether or not there's a network, and that doesn't change the deal on them later.

One $19.99 purchase covers all three platforms forever. There is no subscription, no in-app purchase, no advertising tier, and no paywalled feature. Annual major releases ship as new App Store SKUs; existing owners keep their old version free for as long as they want it. The Mac build is a real native Mac app — menu bar, dock menu, keyboard shortcuts, hover affordances, native print — not a stretched iPad app.

Under the hood it's native Swift 6, SwiftUI, and SwiftData, with Apple Foundation Models running on-device for recipe parsing. Cook Mode is one step per screen with parsed timers and a wake lock so the display stays on while you cook.

Privacy is the default, not a feature. There are no accounts, no third-party analytics, no crash reporters, no trackers of any kind. iCloud sync is opt-in and routed through a private CloudKit container — Apple to Apple, with no third party in the middle. Export produces a self-contained .braiseryarchive bundle with every recipe, photo, cookbook, and tag — your data leaves Braisery the same way it came in.

What makes Braisery different

  • Native multiplatform SwiftUI, not Catalyst. One $19.99 universal purchase covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac — and the Mac build is a real Mac app with menu-bar commands, a dock menu, hover affordances, and keyboard shortcuts, not a stretched iPad app.
  • On-device Apple Foundation Models. Recipe parsing happens on-device using Apple's on-device AI stack — no API key required, no recipe text leaving the device. Scaling is deterministic and instant.
  • "Data Not Collected" — and we keep it that way. No analytics SDKs, no crash reporters phoning home, no third-party trackers. iCloud sync is opt-in and Apple-to-Apple.
  • Accessibility-first Cook Mode. Wet hands? Cook Mode supports VoiceOver, Dynamic Type from XS through Accessibility-XXXL, and a wake lock so the screen doesn't dim mid-step.
  • One-time price, no subscription drift. $19.99 once. Annual major releases ship as new SKUs. Existing owners keep their old version forever.
