Made Again

the recipe book you write together, one cook at a time

A private recipe book for two, on iPhone.

Free. Coming soon to the App Store.

The idea

A recipe is every time you two made it.

  • Written by cooking

    Cook as you always do and say what goes in and what you do with it. It writes itself down, and remembers every time after that.

  • Two people, one book

    Add your partner once. Everything either of you cooks or changes shows on both phones, and nothing else is shared.

  • Nothing leaves the phone

    Nothing leaves your phone unless you send it. No accounts, no analytics, no servers of ours.

Cook something new

Just cook and talk.

Tap Cook something new and cook the way you always do. Say what goes in and what you do with it, and tap New step as you go. When you finish, the book sorts what it heard into ingredients and a method, on your phone, for you to look over.

  • Say “scratch that” to take a line back.
  • A photo you take lands on the step you are on.
  • Mention a time and the step gets its timer.
  • Or write one down, or photograph a card you already have.
Capture while cooking: the first step as it was said, with Pause, Photo and New step below.
The capture sorted into ingredients and a method, headed “Weeknight dal, again?”.
Cook mode

One step at a time.

Big type you can read from the stove, the step’s amounts beside it, and on the first step the note you left last time. Back and Next are big enough for wet hands, and the screen stays awake.

  • Tap the ear and say “next”, “back”, “how much butter” or “start the timer”. No wake word; it listens only while cook mode is open.
  • Timers ring with the phone locked and show in the Dynamic Island.
  • Cooking for more or fewer? Tap − or + and every amount follows. The recipe stays as it was written.
Cook mode, dark: Fish stew, step one of five, last time’s note, the step in large type and 500 g potatoes.
The living recipe

Every time you made it.

At the end of a cook, one tap says whether you would make it again and a line holds the note for next time. A recipe keeps every cook, who made it and what changed, and one tap takes it back to how it was.

Made 14 times · last by Alex on Saturday

A recipe’s history: what changed in Alex’s last edit, a Restore button, and each time it was made.
The book: six recipes, each with how many times it was made and who made it last.
iPhone Duo

A cookbook is already a foldable.

Made Again was drawn for iPhone Duo from the first day, and it is just as much at home on any iPhone.

  • Closed

    The notebook in your pocket: the whole book, one hand.

  • Open

    A two-page spread: ingredients on the left, the method on the right.

  • Half-folded on the counter

    It stands like a cookbook: the step above the fold, the controls on the flat half.

Nothing needs folding. Every part of the book works closed.

Also in the book

The small things a cook wants.

  • Photograph a recipe

    The camera at the top of the book reads a card or a page, yours or someone’s mother’s, into a new recipe for you to check.

  • Off to the shop

    Tick what you already have, then add the rest to Reminders or send the list to whoever is at the shop.

  • Send a recipe

    A card, a story, a link, a code to scan, a printed page or a PDF. A link carries the recipe inside it.

  • Ask Siri

    With the phone on the counter: “Next step in Made Again”, “how much butter in Made Again”, “how long left in Made Again”.

  • On the Home Screen

    Widgets for the last thing you cooked, what your partner just added, and what you have not made in a while.

  • Yours to take

    Export the whole book, every cook and photo, as one file. Open it on another phone and it is all there.

What it costs

Made Again is free and stays free.

No subscription, no account, nothing locked. If it has fed you well, you can leave something under Settings, About. It unlocks nothing.

Coming soon to the App Store, in English and Icelandic.

The empty book: the closed book with your ribbon, and “Your book starts with a cook.”
