About
Flavorish is a feature-rich recipe management platform designed for home cooks, foodies, and meal-prep enthusiasts who want to consolidate their recipe life in one place. Users can save recipes by simply sharing a link from Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, or YouTube, or by uploading a photo of a handwritten card or cookbook page. The app uses OCR and AI to extract recipe details instantly, including an automatic nutritional breakdown. Beyond storage, Flavorish shines as a meal planning tool. Users can drag saved recipes into a weekly plan organized by meal type—breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner—and even run a cooking mode to tackle multiple recipes at once. Grocery lists are auto-generated from selected recipes and sorted by aisle for faster shopping, with real-time sharing so households can shop together. AI-powered recipe generation lets users conjure new dishes from a photo, a set of ingredients, or dietary preferences. Custom collections keep everything organized, and seamless cloud sync ensures all recipes, plans, and lists are available across iOS, Android, and web. Flavorish offers a genuinely generous free tier with unlimited website imports, collections, and meal plans—no ads, no data selling. The Premium plan ($4.99/month) unlocks unlimited social media imports, image imports, and AI recipe generation, making it ideal for power users who cook and discover recipes across multiple platforms daily.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which social media platforms are supported for recipe import?
Flavorish supports importing recipes from Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube. You save a recipe simply by sharing the post or video link to the Flavorish app.
How accurate is recipe extraction from photos or handwritten notes?
Flavorish uses AI-powered OCR to extract recipes from images with high accuracy. Results can vary with messy handwriting or poor image quality, but the app generally handles printed and neatly handwritten recipes very well.
How does AI recipe generation work?
You can provide a prompt, a list of ingredients, a photo, or dietary preferences, and Flavorish's AI will generate a complete recipe including ingredients, instructions, and a preview image.
Can Flavorish accommodate dietary restrictions?
Yes. The AI recipe generation feature accepts specific dietary needs (e.g., vegan, gluten-free, low-carb) as inputs, and the nutritional breakdown on every recipe helps users monitor their intake.
What is the difference between the Basic (free) and Premium plans?
The Basic plan is free and includes unlimited recipe storage, website imports, collections, meal plans, and grocery lists, but caps social media, image, text imports, and AI recipe generation at 5 each. Premium ($4.99/month) removes all those limits and unlocks deep recipe imports.
