COOK · guided
I wanted an app that reads like a
cookbook page,
not a marketing surface.
A calm tool that helps you cook —
not one that asks you to scroll.
The fine print,
in plain words.
01What platforms is Peelmeal on?+
Peelmeal is coming to iPhone and Android — the same app on both stores.
02Where do recipes come from?+
Paste a recipe page, blog post, public social recipe link, or hand-type a recipe from a paper cookbook. The extractor processes the public recipe material where supported and saves a private editable copy.
03What if a recipe has no photo?+
Peelmeal never copies source images. When a recipe arrives without one — pasted text, a hand-typed page, an AI-generated dish — you can generate an appetizing photo from the recipe itself, in a tap.
04Is my data private?+
Your library is private to your account. Anonymous sign-in keeps the same uid when you link Apple or Google later, so recipes are not lost by upgrading. Product analytics avoid recipe text, source URLs, emails, and display names.
05Can I use it offline?+
Saved recipes are cached for offline reading, so you can cook from what you've already saved. Importing and generating with AI need a connection, and changes sync when you're back online.
06Will there be ads?+
No. The Free tier is honestly free; the Premium subscription pays for AI calls and servers. No behavioural ads. That's a promise from the maker, not a marketing line.
07How does cook mode work?+
Cook mode turns a saved recipe into large, step-by-step instructions with timers pulled from the recipe text. Put the phone on a stand, move through the steps, and mark the cook finished when you are done.
08Who builds Peelmeal?+
I do — solo. Peelmeal started as the cooking app I wanted for myself: a calm place to keep recipes, plan a week, and cook without ads, feeds, or upsells. If it works for me, it might work for you. Send feedback any time.
