What you get

Built for the messy middle

Recipe apps are full of finished recipes. RecipePo is for the part before that — when the loaf is almost right and you need to remember exactly what changed.

Capture first

One field. Just what changed.

Logging an attempt should take 20 seconds, not 5 minutes. New attempts prefill from the last one — you only edit the difference. Add a photo, a rating, or longer notes only when you want to.

  • Prefilled from your last attempt
  • Optional photo, auto-compressed
  • Works offline in your browser

See the difference

Compare any two attempts.

Pick attempt #3 and attempt #5 and see the ingredient deltas highlighted, photos side by side, ratings, and the notes that go with them. You stop guessing which tweak actually mattered.

  • Promote any attempt to the winner
  • Share the development story

The method

The way recipe developers actually work

You don't nail a recipe on the first try. RecipePo is built for the messy middle — the attempts between "first draft" and "the one I published."

  1. Log every attempt

    One required field: what changed. Ingredients, method, photo and rating are all optional. New attempts prefill from the last — you only edit the difference.

  2. Compare side by side

    See attempt #3 next to #5 with the ingredient changes highlighted, so you can tell which tweak actually moved the needle.

  3. Lock in the winner

    When a batch finally works, mark it. The clean final recipe lives separate from the experiment log — ready to cook from, share, or print.

Questions

Do I need an account?
No. Open your kitchen and start logging — everything saves to your browser. Sign in later if you want it backed up to the cloud and synced across devices.
Is RecipePo free?
Yes. Logging, comparing and the final-recipe view are free.
Can I share a recipe I've developed?
Once you mark an attempt as the winner you can publish a clean final-recipe page, a development-story page that shows your process, or embed the story on your own blog or site.
Does it work offline?
Yes — the anonymous mode is offline-first. If you sign in, your kitchen also lives in the cloud so it travels with you across devices.
