Llamas Cookbook
Save, share, and cook. Friends & family invited.
Coming soon to the App StoreWhat it does
An iPhone recipe app built around three small ideas the rest of the category mostly skips.
Two recipes. One stove.
Cook two different recipes at the same time, each with its own steps, ingredients, and timer. Both run in the Dynamic Island so you don't have to put your phone down.
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 & family included.
Add friends, browse their cookbooks, import the recipes you'd actually cook. Your grandma's lasagna keeps her name on it, even three friends down the chain.
Other things it does
Because cooking is more than ingredients and steps.
Save from anywhere.
Paste a TikTok caption, a recipe blog URL, or scan a cookbook page. On-device AI does the parsing — your recipes never leave your phone.
Timers that actually ring.
Cooking timers ring on the lock screen, in another app, and through Silent mode. Built on Apple's AlarmKit — no fragile notifications.
Built for craft.
A sourdough hydration calculator. Conversions between cups, grams, and ounces. Per-step photos and notes. The details cooks notice.
Free at launch. No paywalls on cooking.

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.
