A private, account-free ReciMe alternative
Love the idea of saving every recipe in one place, but want no account, no import limits and no tracking? That's Drop Recipe.
ReciMe is a popular recipe keeper — but its free plan caps you at 5 imports a week and, like most recipe apps, it stores your library in its own cloud account. Drop Recipe takes a different approach: no account, no tracking, and your recipes stay on your device and sync through your own private iCloud.
If you're on iPhone and you care about privacy and unlimited saving, Drop Recipe is the ReciMe alternative built for you.

Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, any recipe website, plus photos and cookbook scans — all in one tap.
No account, no limits
There's no sign-up and no weekly import cap on saving your recipes. Your library, your device.

No ads and no tracking. Recipes stay on your device and sync via your own iCloud — we never see them.
