Llamas Cookbook
Your kitchen, shared. Recipes from anywhere, share with anyone.
Download on the App StoreWhat it does
An iPhone recipe app built around three small ideas the rest of the category mostly skips.
Cook four at once.
Up to four recipes can run in parallel — each with its own steps, ingredients, and timer. Every active cook shows up in the Dynamic Island so you can put your phone down without losing track.
Send it to anyone.
Share a recipe over Messages and the recipient opens a clean web page — photos, ingredients, steps. No app to install. No account to make.
Friends, present.
Each friend has their own color in your cookbook. A pulse tells you who's cooking now, a glance shows what they made last. Browse their library, import recipes you'd actually cook — attribution travels with each one.
Other things it does
Because cooking is more than ingredients and steps.
Save from anywhere.
Snap a cookbook page. Paste a TikTok or recipe blog link. Forward a friend's iMessage. Drop a note from the Notes app. Anything cookable becomes a structured recipe — parsed on your phone.
Make it yours.
Add a hero photo. Add a photo to every step. Edit anything imported. The recipe becomes the memory of last time you cooked it — yours, not someone else's.
Built for craft.
Scale any recipe to your serving size. Convert cups, grams, and ounces. Sourdough hydration math and starter estimates. The details cooks notice — and timers that ring through Silent mode.

About
Llamas Cookbook is built by Lorenzo, a solo developer who got tired of recipes scattered across screenshots, browser tabs, and the Notes app. The app ships small improvements every week or two — what's in your hands today won't be the same app a month from now.
The llama lives here because every other recipe app is faceless. This one isn't.
