Koste is a personal recipe library with a quick way to pick what to cook: spin among saved dishes, favorites, or a chosen tag, then open the selected recipe. Add recipes by scanning a cookbook page or handwritten card, pasting text or a link, or importing an archive from Paprika or Mela. Each saved dish can include ingredients, instructions, a photo, notes, meal type, and cooking time; history helps you find meals you have already made. Recipes can sync through your own iCloud account and be exported as a Koste archive. The app is free for up to 10 recipes, including capture, cooking, history, export, and iCloud features. Koste Pro is a one-time $4.99 purchase for unlimited recipes, full imports, and Smart Spin filters. It requires iOS 26.2 or later; writing a recipe from photos or links with Apple Intelligence requires iOS 27 on a supported device. Apple's developer-provided privacy label says no data is collected, but it has not been independently verified by Apple.
