What Recipin is
Recipin (project name Simmer) is an iPhone app by Rivership, an indie studio in Tokyo, for gathering recipes that are scattered across different recipe websites and apps.
It works with pages that publish structured recipe data (schema.org Recipe), falls back to the page's title and image when they do not, and was made with Japanese recipe sites in mind. The App Store listing is currently in Japanese; the app interface has English and Japanese strings.

Questions Recipin answers
- Is there an app that saves a recipe from a website URL? Recipin imports a recipe when you paste the URL of the page.
- How do I keep recipes from different sites in one place? Paste each URL; Recipin saves ingredients, steps, time and the link to the source.
- Can I keep my phone screen on while cooking? Yes. The cooking mode keeps the screen from turning off.
- Can I search my saved recipes? Yes, by recipe name, ingredient or site name, and by tag.
03
What it can do
- Import by URL: reads schema.org Recipe data; if there is none it falls back to Open Graph, then to the title and URL only.
- Source link kept: every recipe keeps the link to the original page.
- Cooking mode: screen stays on; tap to tick off ingredients.
- Tags and search: organize with tags; search by name, ingredient or site.
- Free tier: up to 8 recipes.
04
What it does not do
- Import depends on the page: some sites do not publish structured data and only the title and link may be saved.
- It does not host or copy recipes from a catalog; you save pages you paste.
- The App Store text is in Japanese for now.
