How it works

  1. Koste's Add a Recipe sheet with Scan pages, Photos, Link and Text

    1

    Save recipes from anywhere

    Scan a cookbook page, add a screenshot, paste a link or paste text. Everything lands in one form to check before saving.

  2. Koste's Spin screen with meal filters and a stack of recipe photos

    2

    Spin for dinner

    Spin every meal, one meal, your favorites or a tag. Koste lands on one recipe, and one more tap opens it. Smart Spin (Pro) also filters by time and skips what you cooked recently.

  3. A Koste recipe with its cooking timer running

    3

    Cook, then remember it

    A big photo, your notes, ingredients and steps, and a cooking timer one tap away. Mark it cooked, and it goes into History.

Every recipe has a meal.

Breakfast, Main, Side, Snack, Dessert or Drink, plus an optional time range and your own tags. Filter the library the same way you filter a spin.
