Brasa
For people who actually cook
Turn any recipe into something you can actually cook.
Capture a recipe from a link, a TikTok, a screenshot, or a photo of a printed page. Brasa understands it — then cooks it with you, step by step, across iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Most recipe apps are filing cabinets.
Brasa is a sous-chef.
Saving a recipe is easy. Cooking from a chaotic web page — buried under life stories, pop-ups and a wall of ads — is not. Brasa reads the recipe like a cook, not a scraper: it strips the noise, understands the steps, and stays with you from the first chop to the last plate.
01
Capture
Capture from anywhere you find food.
Recipes live everywhere now — a reel, a Pin, a creator's video, a blog buried in ads, a card in your grandmother's handwriting. Brasa pulls a clean, structured recipe out of all of them. No copy-paste. No retyping.
02
Discover
Follow the cooks you love.
Pick your favourite food blogs and YouTube creators and Brasa pulls their newest recipes into one For You feed. Every item is checked to be a real recipe — not a listicle or a roundup — and saving one is a single tap.
- ✶Follow blogs & YouTube creators — a feed built from the cooks you actually trust.
- ◎Only real recipes — Brasa verifies each one, so no clickbait sneaks in.
- ⌕Search the whole web for anything, and save it to your library in a tap.
Intelligence
It doesn't just save recipes. It understands them.
The same intelligence that captures a recipe keeps working — labelling steps, estimating nutrition, building your shopping list. Much of it runs on your device, so it's private and free.
Knows every step
Reads each instruction and shows exactly which ingredients — and how much — you need, right when you need them.
Estimates nutrition
Estimated calories and macros per serving — helpful context for cooking, not medical advice.
Builds your list
Turns "2 lb bone-in short ribs" into a clean, aisle-sorted shopping item — and merges duplicates across recipes.
Sorts & tags
Meal type, cuisine, difficulty and dietary tags, filled in automatically so your library stays findable.
Finds what you can cook
Point your camera at the fridge and Brasa ranks the recipes you can make right now.
Private by design
On supported devices, the AI runs on-device with Apple Intelligence — smart and private, not a trade-off.On-device
03
Cook
A cook mode that gets out of your way.
One step at a time, in type you can read from across the kitchen. Brasa even spots the "meanwhile" moments — so you prep the next thing while the first one simmers.
- ⏱Live timers on the Lock Screen & Dynamic Island — they keep running even when you close the app.
- ⇄Parallel steps — Brasa flags what you can do while something cooks, with a live countdown.
- ×Scale ½× to 2× with real fractions — half of ¼ cup becomes 2 tbsp, never "0.33 of an egg."
04
Cook what you have
Open the fridge. Point your camera. Dinner.
Snap a few photos of your fridge, freezer and pantry. Brasa recognises what's in them and ranks the recipes you can actually make tonight — and tells you what you'd need to grab for the ones that are close.
- ◉Camera, not data entry — no typing out an inventory.
- ↯Ranked by what you've got, with the reason it made the cut.
- ✓"Almost there" recipes show the one or two things to buy.
05
Plan & nourish
Plan the week. Know what's in it.
Drop recipes onto a weekly plan, see tonight's meal from your Home Screen, and keep an eye on estimated macros across your week. One combined, aisle-sorted shopping list covers the whole plan.
- ▦Weekly planner with a Calendar mirror and nutrition roll-ups.
- ◫Tonight's Meal widget — dinner, one glance away.
- ▤One shopping list across every recipe, ready for Reminders.
