About Paprika
Paprika stores recipes that it imports from websites through a built-in browser or a bookmarklet, and it can save high-resolution photos. Its directions detect timers, and it scales ingredients to a chosen serving size and converts between metric and imperial units. Meal planning covers a week or a month, with reusable menus.
Cloud sync moves recipes, grocery lists and meal plans between devices. The site lists Paprika 4 as in open beta alongside Paprika 3. Because each version is sold separately, buying for several platforms costs more than buying one. Paprika has no free app tier.
