My Recipe Box review
A flexible recipe box for importing, organizing and planning meals on mobile.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
My Recipe Box is a recipe-organizing app for home cooks who want a personal collection they can search, sort and use in meal planning. Recipes can be imported from websites and social networks, created manually, or made with an online recipe generator. Categories, keywords and filters help organize a library, while search can find recipes by name or ingredients. Its free access and personal-recipe focus suit solo cooks who want a flexible box rather than a cooking course or a shared household system.
The day-to-day workflow extends beyond storing recipes: users can plan weekly meals, create shopping lists from recipes or add items manually, and adjust quantities by serving count. Recipes work offline, and the app stores data locally. Backup or synchronization can use Dropbox, Google Drive, pCloud or WebDAV, giving users several ways to preserve or move a collection across devices. The supported environment is centered on Android and iOS, with macOS available on Apple silicon; people looking for a broad desktop or web experience should consider that platform fit before choosing it.
The product is freemium, with a free version and a premium option that adds features and removes ads. That makes it accessible for cooks who want to start with recipe collection and planning, though the available plan information does not establish what each premium feature is. Support channels include email and documentation. Pick My Recipe Box if recipe import, organization, offline access and personal meal planning matter more than guided cooking. Cooks seeking explicit cooking instructions in-app or a wider platform range should compare alternatives.
