Free on iPhone, iPad & Mac

Save it from anywhere. Cook it without the chaos.

dollop! is a recipe app. It keeps every recipe you find — from TikTok, Instagram, blogs, photos, or your own notes — in one place. Then it walks you through cooking it, plans your week, and writes the shopping list for you.

How it works

Four steps. One app.

That’s the core loop, and each step is explained in more detail below. After it come the four things dollop! does that most recipe apps don’t: recipe scaling, a feed that learns your taste, Vibe Check, and Baker’s Corner.

  1. 1

    Save

    Send any recipe to dollop! — from TikTok, Instagram, a blog, a photo, or by typing it in.

Step 1 · Save

Save it from anywhere — no copy-paste required

Everything you save lands in one library, cleaned up and ready to cook — not a camera roll full of screenshots you’ll never find again.

Paste a link.
Title, ingredients and steps are pulled in automatically from any food blog or recipe site.
Save from TikTok or Instagram.
The video becomes a recipe you can follow at the stove, instead of scrubbing back and forth.
Scan a photo.
Index cards, cookbook pages, the back of an envelope — dollop! reads the text and structures it.
Type it in.
Full control over ingredients, steps and photos.
Fastest way: the Share Sheet

In any app on your phone — a browser, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, a group chat — tap Share, choose dollop!, and the recipe lands in your library. No copying a link. No switching apps.

Step 2 · Cook

Cook with both hands free

Cooking Mode walks you through a recipe one step at a time, with the ingredients always a tap away and timers built right into the steps that need them — no more scrolling back up to check how much garlic.

  • ·One step at a time — big text, easy to read from across the counter.
  • ·Timers built into steps — start one right from the instruction.
  • ·Switch units between US and metric on the fly, and scale servings up or down — or scale around an ingredient you’re short on.
  • ·Log it afterwards — add a photo, rate it, and build a cooking history you can look back on.
Step 3 · Plan

Plan the week without opening five apps

Lay out breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks across the week, see a daily nutrition rollup as you go, and scale portions up or down for however many people you’re actually feeding that night.

Add the dollop! widget and see what’s cooking without opening the app.

Step 4 · Shop

A shopping list that builds itself

dollop! turns your meal plan into a shopping list automatically — merging duplicate ingredients across recipes so you’re not buying three separate bags of flour.

It pulls from your weekly plan, a hosting menu, or a shared plan with your household — all into one list. Check things off as you go; the list stays in sync for everyone in the household.

What most recipe apps don’t do

Four things worth knowing about

Saving, cooking, planning and shopping are the basics. These four are the reason people keep dollop! on their Home Screen.

  1. 1 · Scale by what you have
  2. 2 · Discover
  3. 3 · Vibe Check
  4. 4 · Baker’s Corner
1 · Scale by what you have

Only have 3 eggs? Scale the recipe around that.

Most apps let you double a recipe or halve it. dollop! lets you start from the thing you’re short on. Tell it how much of one ingredient you actually have, and the whole recipe rebuilds around that number.

Every other ingredient rescales with it — and so does every quantity written into the steps, so you’re not doing fractions in your head at 9pm while the oven’s already hot.

Three ways to scale
  • 1By an ingredient you have. 3 eggs instead of 4, 400 g of flour instead of 500 — enter what's in your kitchen.
  • 2By the yield you want. Three dozen cookies instead of two? Give it the number and it works backward to every quantity.
  • 3By servings. The ordinary one — scale to however many people are eating tonight.

Works on any recipe in your library, down to the gram. Baking by ratio instead? That’s Baker’s Corner.

2 · Discover

A feed that learns your taste as you save and cook

There’s no questionnaire to get through before the app is useful. You save things, you cook things, you rate things — and the feed adjusts to match.

Fewer things you’d never make. More things that fit how you actually cook: the flavors you reach for, the cuisines you keep coming back to, the amount of effort you usually have on a weeknight.

More Like This

Every recipe has the button. Tap it and get more in the same flavor lane, so one good find turns into a whole direction instead of a one-off.

Taste Report

The patterns in what you’ve actually been cooking, handed back to you — your most-cooked cuisine, the flavor profile you keep returning to.

That’s the feed adjusting over weeks. To steer one night only, use Vibe Check.

3 · Vibe Check

Not every night is a lasagna night.

Your taste barely changes. How much cooking you feel like doing changes every single day. Vibe Check is how you tell dollop! which night this is.

Pick the vibe — exhausted, feeling fancy, fifteen minutes, use what’s here — and it matches a recipe to the energy you’ve actually got tonight, not the one you wish you had.

1
It's one tap, not a new profile
Nothing to fill in and nothing to undo tomorrow. Pick a vibe for tonight; your actual taste profile stays exactly as it was.
2
It reads effort, not just flavor
Most apps only know what you like. This one also accounts for how much standing, chopping and watching the pan you're willing to do right now.
3
It stays inside your rules
Same library, same diets, same allergy guardrails as everything else in the app. A low-effort night never means a recipe someone in the house can't eat.

Dinner should match your Tuesday, not someone else’s highlight reel.

Vibe Check · try itHow do you feel about cooking tonight?
Matched to tonight
Buttered egg noodles, crispy shallot12 min · one pot, five ingredients
The lowest-effort thing in your library that still counts as dinner. Nothing to chop.

Tap a different vibe — the match changes with it.

4 · Baker’s Corner

Baker’s percentage, built into the recipe

Bread and pastry live and die by ratio. Baker’s percentage is how professional bakers scale a formula without breaking it: every ingredient expressed as a percentage of the flour weight.

Change the flour weight and the water, salt and yeast recalculate with it — hydration stays where you set it, whatever size you’re making. Most home cooking apps don’t support it at all.

  • 22 built-in formulas— breads, doughs and laminated pastry, each with reference photos so you can see what you’re aiming for, not just a list of ratios.
  • Gram-level precision. Scale a loaf from 500 g of flour to 800 g, or move the hydration, and every weight follows.
  • Weight editing is free on every formula — no paywall on the core math. The finer formula controls and extra baking tools are part of dollop! Pro.

If you’ve ever scaled a sourdough by multiplying everything by 1.5 and ended up with dough that wouldn’t behave: this is the fix.

Everything else

And the rest of the kitchen

Four more things dollop! does, each in a sentence or two.

Cook & plan together

Add the people you cook with. Everyone keeps their own taste, diet and vetoes, and allergies stay iron rules for the whole house. You share one meal plan and one shopping list, and they stay in sync across the household. You can also follow cooks whose taste you trust and send a recipe straight to someone.

Organize

Build collections and folders for however you actually think about recipes — by cuisine, by occasion, by “Tuesday nights.” Filter your whole library by cuisine, diet, protein or cooking technique.

Hosting

Build a named menu (“Friendsgiving 2026”), set the guest count once so every dish scales, then tell dollop! when you want to serve. It works backward to tell you exactly when to start each dish — with alerts.

App Clip

Share a recipe with someone who doesn't have dollop! yet. They tap the link and see the recipe — no install needed.

Dietary rules

Diet filters that check the ingredients, not just the label.

If someone in your house has a real allergy, you already know what that’s like: reading labels twice, scanning every ingredient list before you commit.

dollop! enforces diets at the ingredient level. A recipe with cheese cannot be labeled dairy-free. A recipe with wheat cannot be labeled gluten-free. If we catch a mislabel — a “gluten-free” recipe with soy sauce in it — the tag comes off automatically. No email. No moderator. The rule wins, every time.

In a household, each person has their own diet and vetoes. Allergies are iron rules: set one once and that ingredient never makes the plan — for anyone.

The difference, plainly
Label-based (most apps)

The tag is whatever the person who uploaded the recipe typed. Nothing checks it.

Ingredient-based (dollop!)

Every ingredient is checked against the rule. If one fails, the tag is removed automatically.

Example:a recipe tagged “gluten-free” lists soy sauce. Soy sauce contains wheat, so the gluten-free tag comes off.

FAQ

Fair questions.

Is it really free?
Yes. The free tier is free forever and includes saving, Cooking Mode, meal planning, shopping lists, the 19 dietary filters and household sharing. dollop! Pro is an optional upgrade, not a requirement.
What devices does it work on?
iPhone, iPad and Mac, on iOS / iPadOS 17 and up. It's on the App Store. There's no Android or Windows version yet.
Can I save recipes from TikTok, Instagram or blogs?
Yes. Paste a link, or hit Share in the other app and choose dollop!. The recipe comes in as ingredients, steps and timings you can follow. Handwritten cards and cookbook pages work too, from a photo.
Are the diet filters reliable for allergies?
We check at the ingredient level, not the label level. A recipe with cheese cannot be tagged vegan; a recipe with wheat cannot be tagged gluten-free. Recipes are user-saved, so always read the ingredients yourself for a serious allergy.
What does the feed do?
It's a feed that learns your taste as you save and cook. You don't have to fill anything in — but the short Vibe Check quiz speeds it up, and the Taste Report shows you the patterns in what you've been cooking.
How does cooking with my household work?
Add the people you cook with. Everyone keeps their own taste, diet and vetoes. You share one meal plan and one shopping list, and they stay in sync across the household.
Can dollop! scale a recipe to what I actually have?
Yes — that's the thing most apps don't do. Enter how much of one ingredient you've got (3 eggs instead of 4, 400 g of flour instead of 500) and every other ingredient rescales around it, including the quantities written into the steps. You can also scale to a yield you want, or to a serving count.
What is Baker's Corner?
A baker's-percentage calculator built into your recipes. Change the flour weight and the water, salt and yeast recalculate with it. It comes with 22 formulas; weight editing is free and advanced controls are in Pro.
Do you have reviews or testimonials?
Not yet, and we're not going to fake them. When real people are cooking real food with dollop!, we'll show you.

Scale a real recipe, right now

No install, no sign-up. Pick the ingredient you’re short on and type what you’ve actually got — or switch to baker’s percentage and drive the whole formula from the flour weight. This is the same math the app runs on your own recipes.
