We do the
mental load for you.

Reading a recipe means holding a dozen things in your head at once — what goes where, what gets mixed, what's for later. Our refined models do that processing for you, grouping ingredients by their role and splitting steps into prep, cook, and finish.

Smart groupingOur model groups ingredients to match the recipe — marinade, sauce, whatever fits.
Phased stepsPrep, cook and finish separated so you can read ahead.

02 · Curate

Three ways in.
One clean library.

Most recipes live as open tabs, camera-roll screenshots, or videos you'll never watch again. Cookin ingests all three and normalises them into a single, searchable format.
