Crumb showing a focaccia recipe on iPhone

Focaccia, from page to plate. Source, servings, ingredients, and method stay together.

Your best recipes shouldn’t be trapped on a shelf. Crumb makes them part of everyday cooking.

01

Capture

Point. Scan. Keep the whole recipe.

Capture one page or a whole spread, reorder pages, and add a finished-dish photo. Crumb structures the recipe as fields arrive so you can review the important parts right away.

  • Document camera or Photos
  • Multi-page capture and page controls
  • Every recipe keeps its source

Ingredient intelligence

Messy lines become useful ingredients.

A custom on-device model separates food, size, preparation, and notes, while Crumb highlights anything uncertain for review. You stay in control of every correction.

  • Runs on your iPhone
  • Original wording is always preserved
  • Review or reparse any line

Groceries and scaling

A list that walks the store with you.

Ingredients merge into an aisle-by-aisle list. Scale a recipe with exact fractions and ranges, while whole items and intentionally unscaled ingredients stay sensible.
