- ✓Import links, TikToks, photos, PDFs and Paprika
- ✓One price unlocks iPhone, iPad, Mac & Android
- ✓Aisle-sorted lists + cook what’s already in your kitchen
Free to start. 25 recipes, no card, no ads.
- No ads, ever
- Never lose a recipe
- Every device, one price
- Own your data
Your recipes are everywhere.
Screenshots you'll never find. Saved reels you never made. A library locked inside an app that charges again for every device.
Screenshots buried deep in your camera roll
TikToks and reels you saved but never cooked
A library trapped in one app, on one device
CookFlic brings them all together — on every device you own.
Why CookFlic is different
The recipe app that respects your recipes — and your wallet.
No subscription lock-in
A real free plan and a pay-once Lifetime with unlimited recipes, forever. A subscription’s there if you prefer it — never forced on you.
Your library, never held hostage
We never delete your recipes — not on the free plan, not if you downgrade. A 30-day Trash catches mistakes, and everything’s synced to your account.
One price, every device
iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Android. Buy once and it’s unlocked everywhere — you never re-buy the same app per platform.
Import everything (incl. Paprika)
Links, TikTok and YouTube videos, photos, PDFs, pasted text — and your Paprika recipes, free. Switching is painless.
Everything you need to cook smarter
From capture to kitchen — everything that turns recipe chaos into tonight’s dinner.
Capture recipes from anywhere
Paste any link, share a TikTok or YouTube video, snap a photo of a cookbook page, or import your Paprika recipes and PDF collection. Our AI reads the recipe and files it clean — ingredients, steps, and times.
All your recipes, on every device
Organize into cookbooks, search by ingredient, edit anything, scale servings — and find it all on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Android.
Cook with what you have
Tell CookFlic what's in your kitchen and it instantly finds the recipes you can make right now — ranked by match, so nothing goes to waste.
Step-by-step with auto timers
Cook Mode keeps your screen awake, steps large, and timers ready — start a timer straight from any step, run several recipes at once, and keep every pot on track for the same serving time.
Aisle-sorted lists, zero guesswork
Every ingredient lands on your grocery list sorted by aisle — produce, dairy, pantry — so you shop in one pass. The aisle map learns from the whole community, so even unusual items land in the right section.
Plan the week. Shop once.
Drop recipes onto a week or month view, then turn the whole plan into an aisle-sorted grocery list — all of it, or only what's missing from your kitchen.
Synced everywhere. Owned by you.
Sign in once and your recipes, cookbooks, kitchen, and lists follow you to every device — and your recipes are always yours.
Bigger screens, same kitchen.
CookFlic isn't a stretched phone app. On iPad and desktop the library opens up with a sidebar layout made for cooking alongside — one account, one price, every device.
iPhone · iPad · Mac · Android

Start your library, no card required.
- ✓Up to 25 recipes
- ✓Free web & manual import, on every device

Lifetime
Pay once. Own it forever.
- ✓Unlimited recipes
- ✓Every device — iPhone, iPad, Mac & Android

Subscription
Pay monthly or yearly — your call.
- ✓Choose monthly or yearly billing (yearly saves)
- ✓Unlimited recipes, every device
- ✓10 AI imports or adaptations every week
- ✓Cancel anytime — your recipes stay yours
A “flic” is one AI action: importing a recipe from a photo, a video, or a link with no built-in recipe data, or adapting a recipe. Every plan gets flics every week, and unused ones don't carry over. Links that already carry recipe data never use flics. Importing from Paprika is free too, and Lifetime or a subscription has no recipe limit. Need more in one go? Flic packs top you up in the app and never expire.
No ads on any plan. No lock-in, ever. Cancel never required.
Cancel anytime and manage your subscription in a tap — no lock-in, no dark patterns.
