Recipe Manager review
A free web recipe book for importing recipes, planning meals, and making shopping lists.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Recipe Manager is a web-based recipe book for home cooks who want to save recipes from social videos, cooking blogs, PDFs, and photos. It extracts ingredients and ordered cooking steps for review, then lets users organize recipes, adjust servings, and export them. The free plan includes up to five recipes, five AI credits per month, basic meal planning, a shopping list, and mobile access. It is best suited to people who want to collect recipes from varied sources and carry them into weekly cooking plans; cooks who need a large recipe library may find the cap restrictive.
Its workflow extends beyond importing: recipes can be scheduled in a weekly meal plan, and shopping lists can be generated from recipes or plans. Hands-free cooking mode supports following recipes while preparing food. These features make the app more than a capture tool, though the published free allowance puts a firm limit on how much of a personal cookbook can live there. The web platform is the stated platform, so buyers seeking a dedicated desktop or native mobile app should look elsewhere.
The Free plan is the only currently purchasable plan described; Pro and Family appear as previews, and paid checkout is not available. Recipe Manager offers email support and lists GDPR compliance. Choose it for free, web-based importing, meal planning, and grocery-list creation at a small scale. Consider an alternative if you need a larger included recipe collection, a paid tier you can buy now, or availability beyond the web.
