Simmer

Save recipes from any website. Cook hands-free with voice-guided steps. No ads, no tracking.

Download on the App Store

Save Any Recipe

Paste a URL or share directly from Safari. Simmer extracts the ingredients, steps, and cook times — leaving the ads and life stories behind.

Hands-Free Cooking Mode

Full-screen step cards with large text you can read from across the kitchen. Swipe to navigate. Turn on auto-speak and never touch your phone.

Voice-Guided Steps

Hear every step read aloud with natural-sounding iOS voices. Fractions, temperatures, and abbreviations are spoken clearly — "½ tsp" becomes "one half teaspoon."

Smart Quantity Adjustment

Change servings with one tap. Every ingredient scales instantly with clean, readable fractions.

Private by Design

Everything stays on your device. No accounts, no cloud sync, no analytics, no ads. Just your recipes.

How It Works

1

Share any recipe URL from Safari

Tap the Share button in Safari (or any browser), select Simmer from the share sheet. Works with AllRecipes, NYT Cooking, Serious Eats, Food Network, and virtually any recipe website.

2

Simmer extracts just the recipe

No ads. No 1,500-word backstory about a trip to Tuscany. No pop-up newsletter prompts. Just the title, ingredients, steps, cook times, and photo — saved to your private library.

3

Open cooking mode and let Simmer guide you

Tap Cook and Simmer switches to full-screen step cards with large text. Turn on auto-speak and your iPhone reads each step aloud. No touching your phone with floury hands.
