Support

A local-first family recipe archive for iPhone and iPad built around long PDFs, OCR repair, and recipe memory.

Common questions

What people usually ask.

What does the app save?

It stores page images, OCR text, corrected text, notes, tags, and the long PDF for each cookbook volume.

Can I correct bad OCR?

Yes. Each saved page has an editing surface for recipe names, ingredients, corrected text, notes, and tags.

Can I search across several cookbooks?

Yes. Search covers recipe names, ingredient text, OCR text, and family notes across the archive.

Do I need an account?

No. Grandma’s Cookbook is local-first and does not require sign-in.

Troubleshooting

First things to check.

  • Confirm camera permission is enabled if scanning does not open.
  • Confirm photo access is enabled if importing existing recipe photos fails.
  • If text quality is weak, open the page editor and correct the recipe fields directly.
