What’s inside

Everything between “that looks good” and dinner on the table

Five parts that work together, so a recipe you save today ends up on your plate this week.

Every recipe you love, finally in one place

Paste a link and CookBird pulls in the ingredients, steps and photos, translated into your language and units. No ads, no life story.

  • Save from blogs, TikTok, Instagram and supermarket sites
  • Search by name, ingredient or tag
  • Type in family recipes by hand
Food log

Scan it, log it, cook with it

Losing weight or just curious what a day adds up to? Point your phone at a barcode or a nutrition label and it’s logged. Every product you scan doubles as an ingredient in your recipes.

  • Scan barcodes and labels

    Your phone reads the barcode, or the nutrition table when the product is new. No typing numbers off a package.

  • A database everyone builds

    Products other people scanned are ready for you, and the ones you add help the next person.

  • Your recipes know their nutrition

    Calories and macros per serving come from the actual ingredients, so logging dinner is one tap.

On your phone

Scan a barcode or label in a second, in the store or at the kitchen counter.

On the web

No phone at hand? Upload a photo of the label instead.

All in one

From the barcode to your goal, without typing it twice

Most apps do one part of this. CookBird connects them, so what you do in one place shows up in the others.

Point your phone at a barcode or a nutrition label. On the web you can upload a photo of the label instead.

FAQ

Questions people ask before they start

What is CookBird?

CookBird is a recipe app that keeps all your recipes in one place, plans your week of meals and turns that plan into one shopping list you can share. It works on iPhone, Android and the web.

Is CookBird free?

Yes. A free account includes 10 recipes, one link import every 48 hours, meal planning, shopping lists and sharing. Premium removes the limits.

Which websites can I save recipes from?

Most recipe pages work: food blogs, big recipe sites like Allrecipes and BBC Good Food, supermarket recipe pages, and recipes shared from TikTok or Instagram.

Can I use CookBird together with my partner or family?

Yes. Invite them from the Sharing page. Once they accept, they can see your recipes and meal plan, and everyone with a shopping list open sees items being ticked off live.

Can I count calories or lose weight with CookBird?

Yes. Scan a barcode or a nutrition label, or log a meal straight from one of your recipes, and CookBird adds up calories, protein, carbs and fat per day. Set a calorie, protein or weight goal and it tracks your progress.

Does CookBird translate recipes?

Yes. Imported recipes are translated into your language and converted to metric or imperial, whichever you prefer.

Who can see my recipes?

Only you, until you invite someone and they accept. You can stop sharing at any time.
