About Sauce

Sauce is an AI-powered recipe manager for iPhone and iPad. Paste a link from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube or any recipe site and it extracts the title, ingredients, steps, timings, servings and nutrition, after checking that the content really is a recipe. You can also scan a photo of a cookbook page or handwritten note, or write a custom recipe with a structured form.

Recipes appear in a searchable grid library, with a detail view showing prep and cook time, servings and a nutrition breakdown per serving, and serving size adjustment that scales ingredient quantities. Collections group recipes into a personal cookbook. A full-screen Let's Cook mode walks through steps with a progress bar and timer notifications, a grocery list can be filled manually or from recipe ingredients, and a Premium pantry tracks what is in the fridge. The app is organized around five tabs: Recipes, Pantry, Add, Groceries and Profile.
