Norish
Planning weekly dinners across a busy household becomes effortless with Norish, a real-time recipe manager, meal planner, and smart grocery list platform that captures dishes from any link, video, or cookbook photo. Families and roommates can paste a food blog URL, drop in a YouTube Short, Instagram Reel, or TikTok link, or snap up to ten photos of handwritten recipe cards to generate a clean, structured dish with automatic tags, cuisines, and allergen alerts. When you drag meals onto the shared household calendar or sync your schedule over CalDAV, every ingredient flows into a live grocery list that remembers which supermarket aisle or store each item belongs to and automatically excludes staples already sitting in your pantry inventory. Splitting up in the supermarket aisles works seamlessly because checked-off items disappear on your partner's phone screen the instant you tap them, even across fifteen supported interface languages. In the kitchen, step-by-step cooking mode keeps your screen awake, embeds countdown timers directly inside preparation steps, links fractional ingredient quantities to the exact step where they are used, and scales servings or swaps between metric and US measurements with a single tap. Automatic macro calculations powered by USDA FoodData Central and CIQUAL databases break down calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat per serving.

Vanilla Cookbook
Every family recipe, bookmarked food blog post, and meal-prep formula stays organized inside Vanilla Cookbook, a self-hosted culinary library that converts volumetric measurements into precise gram weights and scales servings on the fly. Paste a URL or click the browser bookmarklet to scrape recipes from hundreds of cooking websites. Plain-text ingredient strings split automatically into structured quantities, units, preparation notes, and optional or to-serve badges. Home bakers switch effortlessly between US cups, imperial ounces, and metric grams across thousands of ingredient density profiles. Inline oven temperatures, fractions, and numeric ranges adjust automatically as serving counts change. Nutritional text parses into a structured per-serving breakdown, while integrated shopping lists, cooking logs, and equipment lists keep weekly grocery planning synchronized across desktop browsers and Progressive Web App mobile devices. Connecting an optional OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Ollama, or LiteLLM endpoint unlocks AI fallback scraping for pages lacking Schema.org markup, automatic recipe translation, verbose direction summarization, photo-to-recipe extraction, and vector-based semantic search. Multi-user accounts, OAuth authentication, public recipe sharing links, and bulk import or export tools give households full control over their cookbook data.
