Three steps to your perfect recipe box
Bring them in from everywhere
Food blogs, screenshots in your camera roll, saved posts, the cookbook on the shelf, Grandma's handwritten cards. Paste a link, snap a photo of the page, or type it in. It all lands in one box.
Find it when you're at the stove
Search by name, ingredient, or category and the recipe is right there, not buried in a bookmark folder you forgot about.
Cook it for whoever's at the table
Set the servings and every amount adjusts. Cook Mode walks you through one step at a time with a built-in timer.

How Forgetful Chef compares
Questions before you sign up
Can I get my recipes out if I leave?
Yes. On your profile, tap Export recipes to download every recipe you've saved, with ingredients, steps, photos, and source links, as a file you keep. Your recipes are yours.
What happens when the 7-day trial ends?
You enter a card when you start the trial. If you cancel before day 7, you aren't charged. If you don't, the plan you picked ($4.99 a month or $39 a year) starts on day 8.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Email chris@chrisdasie.com and we'll cancel it. Cancel during the free trial and you are never charged. After that, you keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for, then your account goes back to the free plan and your recipes stay. We don't give partial refunds for unused time.
How well does importing from a website work?
On most recipe sites, paste the link and the name, ingredients, steps, and photo come in on their own. You review everything before it saves. If a site blocks the import, scan the page or type the recipe in.
Is Forgetful Chef for restaurants or catering?
No. It's built for home cooks keeping their own recipes. Commercial use isn't allowed under our terms.
Who's behind Forgetful Chef
Chris Da Sie
Founder
Years ago I designed an app called Forgetful Chef. The idea was simple: send it any recipe you find, and it builds your own recipe book, with ingredient amounts that adjust to however many people you're cooking for. Those mockups sat in a folder for a long time. This is that idea, finally built.
