LinkDish

LinkDish saves recipes from links and turns them into a clean, portable recipe library across web and mobile.

• Web: app.linkdish.ca
• Product site: linkdish.ca
• API: api.linkdish.ca

What it does

• Saves recipes from websites, YouTube (including Shorts), Pinterest pins, TikTok captions, pasted text and photos of cookbook pages.
• Keeps a photo-first cookbook with ranked search, favorites, tags, collections, ratings and a cook log, in light or dark mode.
• Scales recipes by servings and converts between original, US and metric units (including oven temperatures).
• Cook mode with resumable sessions and timers that keep running across the app.
• Weekly meal planner that turns a week into a shopping list grouped by aisle, shared with a Family household.
• Backups and imports from Paprika, Mela and JSON-LD files.

See docs/whats-new.md for the current release notes.
