Cook More is a digital cookbook app that lets users create grocery lists and save recipes around the web or from physical cookbooks. No accounts, no subscriptions, updates included forever. The app works fully offline but can sync with other devices over BT.
I'm looking for testers and early adopters! The app is free for my test group, I just request that you share any feedback with me while you use it.
Cook More is an app for managing home cooking. You're able to save recipes from social media and websites via sharing/links or photos of physical cookbooks and manage a shopping list. It supports meal planning by allowing you to pin recipes to the top of the list that you plan to make.
One of the challenges about building apps that can work offline is syncing data between devices, servers, etc. While there are entire books written about the topics of distributed systems like this, I'll share how it works in Cook More.
Cook More is a personal digital cookbook. You can sync your grocery list and recipes with anyone else running the app, this way you can share all your recipes instantly within the app. You don't even need to have an account. This all happens over bluetooth. While I think that's a really cool feature, I really designed the sharing so that partners can have a shared grocery list without compromising their data. To that end, everything must sync seamlessly, additions, deletions, and modifications. Cook More has live-sync and a deferred-sync built in.

Love that mission—“apps for humans” really hits home.
Totally agree that not everything needs to be cloud-connected or subscription-based to be valuable. Cook More sounds super thoughtful, even just from the description.
Haven’t tried it yet, but definitely bookmarking it. Curious to see what you cook up next too 👀
@alex_cloudstar Thanks!
Cook More is just the beginning. It's a prototype app to test out my offline tech, and it's been working great for home life! 😁
