One tap sends your recipe to whoever misses it most. Then a first-try photo comes back, and you get the last word.

So proud of them

Never measure a thing. We keep your words and add a ~ for “about.”

Edible asks you a few, too.

Do I need to download anything?

Only if you want to add the videos yourself. Otherwise, just prop up your phone, cook and talk like always, and send the videos to your kids to add.

I never measure. Is that okay?

That's the whole idea. Say “a handful” like you always do. Edible keeps your words and puts a ~ estimate beside them.

Do I need anything special?

Just your phone. Lean it anywhere it can see the stove and your hands.

Do I have to speak English?

For now, Edible works in English. Other languages are coming during early access, and your own words will always stay on top.

What if the dish takes all day?

Record in pieces. Stop for the overnight soak, record again in the morning, and every video goes into the same recipe.

How does Edible write the recipe?

It uses AI to watch and listen to your videos, then writes out the steps. Amounts stay in your own words, with an estimate like ~1 cup beside them, and your stories come along too.

Who can see my recipes?

Only your family. Send each one to your kids, a cousin or the family group chat. You choose.

How much does it cost?

It's free during early access.
