Hi PH! I built Recipe Jar because recipe sites buried the food under life stories and ads, and the tools that clean them up now cap free saves at 20–40 recipes and charge for more.
Recipe Jar is the boring, honest version: paste a link → clean card → keep it forever. Everything is stored in your own browser (IndexedDB), so there's no account, no server copy of your data, and nothing that costs me money per user. That's why "free forever" is the architecture, not a pricing page.
Nice bits: cook mode shows one step at a time and keeps your screen awake, "simmer 20 mins" becomes a tappable timer, servings scale with real fraction math, and sharing a recipe encodes the whole recipe into the link itself.
It's MIT-licensed and self-hostable in one click. Honest scope: it keeps recipes; it doesn't plan meals or count calories. If a site fails to import, tell me; parser fixes are my favourite bug reports.
How does the cook mode handle things like switching between steps when you need to set multiple timers at once for different parts of the recipe?
Paste a NYT link and it actually strips out the life story before the recipe, which is honestly my biggest pet peeve with most recipe sites. The offline cook mode with timers is a nice touch too.
finally something that does one thing well. pasted a seriouseats link and got just the recipe, no life story or popups. the cook mode timers are a nice touch too.
Love that everything stays local in the browser, no account or server nonsense. The cook mode with step timers is a quietly brilliant touch for anyone whose hands are covered in flour.
Pasted a New York Times link and it stripped out the life story before the ingredient list, which is exactly what I wanted. The cook mode timer with the keep-screen-on bit actually saved me from burning the onions last night.
Pasted a New York Times cooking link and it actually stripped all the life-story preamble, just the ingredients and steps like it promised. The cook mode timer per step is such a nice touch, my hands were floury and I just hit next.
Pasted a NYT cooking link and it stripped the life story right out, just ingredients and steps. Cook mode timers actually ran while I was chopping, which is more than I expected.
