The recipe app for European kitchens
Where recipes meet food porn.
Every recipe you love, in one place. Save it from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest or any food blog, scan it from a cookbook, or simply talk it through. Watchpan turns it into a clean card in grams and in your languages, cooks it with you step by step, and helps you share it with the people you cook for.
Free to start. No ads, ever.
iPhone first, Android follows.

Save it from anywhere
That recipe you saw? Keep it.
Spotted something delicious? Share it to Watchpan straight from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest or Safari, or paste the link. No life stories, no pop-ups: just the ingredients and the steps.
- Scan your cookbooks and Grandma's handwritten cards. Up to four photos read as one recipe.
- Talk it through while you cook. Say the ingredients and steps, and Watchpan writes them down.
- Paste it from a message or a note, or write your own from scratch.
Clean recipe cards
Tidy, in grams, and in your languages.
AI reads the page, the photo or your voice and writes one tidy card: ingredients, steps, servings and time, and nothing else. Cups become grams and 350 °F becomes 180 °C. One tap on US shows the original.
Pick the languages you read, from more than forty, and your recipes are translated into those, keeping every amount exactly.
Cook mode and Cook-alongs
One step at a time, with the video right there.
Tap Start cooking and Watchpan shows one step at a time, in big, calm type, with just the ingredients that step needs. The screen stays on while your hands are covered in flour.
When a recipe has a video, every step gets its own little clip that plays on repeat. We call them Cook-alongs: no more scrubbing back and forth with sticky fingers.
Shopping list
A shopping list that sorts itself.
Add a recipe's ingredients in one tap and they land by aisle: vegetables, dairy and eggs, bakery, pantry. Add your own bits too, then tick them off as you walk the shop.
The Feed
Never wonder what to cook again.
Short cooking videos from people who love food, each with its full recipe. Swipe right to save one to your cookbook and left to skip it, or scroll through one video after another.
The Studio
Film your own, and teach someone your favourite dish.
Film a recipe in clips: tap to record, tap to pause, carry on. Trim, reorder and speed up the slow bits, tag each clip with its step, lay text over it and add a voiceover or music.
Watchpan listens to what you say and writes the recipe down for you, and every tagged step becomes a Cook-along clip. Post it to the Feed, or keep it in your own cookbook.

Friends and collections
Cook together, even when you are apart.
Add your friends and see the recipes they share, then save a copy of any you like. Your private recipes stay private, and your notes are always yours alone.
Sort everything into collections: weeknight dinners, Sunday baking, the ones the children actually eat.
Your recipes stay yours.
