Crouton is a recipe organizer that can collect recipes from websites, cookbooks, handwritten notes, and photos. The listing describes automatic extraction from web pages and OCR or AI-assisted import from images. Saved recipes can be organized for meal planning, and the app can suggest a weekly plan from recipes in a dinner collection.
When cooking, step-by-step mode keeps attention on one instruction at a time and can show ingredient amounts within the steps. Timers can be started from recipe instructions, and a hands-free mode can move between steps. Recipes can also create grocery lists, sync through iCloud, and be shared with family.
The US App Store lists a free download, but current paid-feature terms were not clear in the description reviewed. Imported ingredients and quantities should be checked before cooking, especially when the original source is handwritten or photographed. We have not tested recipe extraction, scale pairing, or syncing.
