Olly brings a recipe library, meal planner, and grocery list together. Save a recipe from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Pinterest, or a web link; the listing says AI reads video and captions and turns them into structured recipes. It can also make a recipe from a craving, scan handwritten notes or cookbook pages, plan a week of meals, scale servings, convert units, and guide step by step while you cook. The app supports 35 languages and syncs recipes across iPhone and iPad. It is free to download with Pro purchases. The US App Store lists a $34.99 yearly plan and two yearly-labelled products at that price; a separate $5.99 olly Pro item does not show its billing interval. Apple's privacy label lists purchases, contact details, user content, identifiers, usage, and other data linked to the user. The app requires iOS 17 or later.
