Recipe Jar
Just the recipe. Yours to keep.
Recipe Jar is a free, local-first recipe keeper. Paste a recipe link and it pulls out just the ingredients and steps, no ads and no life story. Save unlimited recipes with no account. Everything stays on your own device, so it works fully offline.
It also scales servings, turns any recipe into a shopping list, and has a hands-free cook mode with timers. There is no backend and no database, which is why it can stay free forever. Open source, MIT licensed.

Hey everyone 👋 I'm Sagar, a solo dev from Kathmandu. I built Recipe Jar because I was tired of the thing everyone is tired of. You find a recipe online, and it's buried under ads, pop-ups, an autoplay video, and someone's life story about their grandmother's summer in Tuscany. The tools that clean that up are nice, right up until they cap how many recipes you can save for free and ask you to make an account. So I made the boring, honest version. You paste a recipe link, and Recipe Jar gives you a clean card: just the ingredients and steps. Save as many as you want. No account, no ads. Everything lives in your own browser, on your device, so it works offline and nothing gets sent to a server. That is also why it is free forever. There is no backend to pay for, so there is nothing for anyone to charge you for. A few things it does beyond saving: - Scales servings with real quantity math - Turns any recipe into a shopping list - Hands-free cook mode with timers that keep the screen awake - Backs up your whole jar to a single file It is open source (MIT), so you can read exactly how the privacy works, or self-host your own copy. It is still early and I am building in the open. If a recipe site does not import cleanly, tell me and I will fix the parser. Any feedback would genuinely mean a lot. Thanks for taking a look 🙏 recipejar.app
