Syncing your recipes
Your recipes are plain-text files, so there are two easy ways to keep them in sync between your computer and your phone:
- Sync Agent — install the Sync Agent on your Mac, PC, or Linux machine, and your recipes sync automatically across all your devices through CookCloud.
- A folder synced by another app — keep your recipes in a folder that a service you already use keeps in sync (iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Syncthing, and the like), then point the app at that folder.
Either way, your files stay plain text and fully under your control.
Prefer a desktop app?
Cook Editor is a free desktop app for writing, previewing, and planning meals from your .cook files on macOS, Windows, and Linux — with optional CookBot AI assistance (Cookbot Pro, €10/mo). It syncs with the mobile apps.
