Quick answer: Recipe Cloud works on iPhone and iPad with our native app, on any device with a modern web browser through the responsive web app at recipecloudapp.com, and on desktop Chrome with our Chrome extension for saving recipes while you browse. Use the same account everywhere so your recipes stay in sync.
One account, multiple ways to use Recipe Cloud
Your Recipe Cloud account works across supported platforms. Sign in with the same email and password on each device to access your saved recipes, collections, meal planner, and shopping list.
iPhone and iPad app
The Recipe Cloud app is built for iPhone and iPad. It is a good fit when you want the full mobile experience—saving recipes with the share extension, planning meals, managing your shopping list, and browsing your collection on the go.
Get the app: Download Recipe Cloud on the App Store
Best for: Everyday use on your phone or tablet, importing from Safari and social apps, and offline-friendly access to recipes you have already saved.
Web app (all devices)
The Recipe Cloud web app runs in your browser at recipecloudapp.com. No install is required. The site is responsive, so it adapts to phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops.
Open the web app: recipecloudapp.com/explore/ (sign in when prompted)
Works well on:
- Mac and Windows computers
- iPhone and iPad (in Safari or another browser)
- Android phones and tablets (in the browser—there is no separate Android app)
- Other modern browsers such as Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge
Best for: Full account management, meal planner and shopping list on a larger screen, and using Recipe Cloud on devices where the iOS app is not installed.
Chrome extension (desktop)
The Recipe Cloud Chrome extension helps you save recipes from websites while you browse in Google Chrome on a computer. It complements the web app—it is not a replacement for the full Recipe Cloud experience on mobile.
Install the extension: Recipe Cloud on the Chrome Web Store
Best for: Quickly importing recipes from blogs and recipe sites while browsing on a laptop or desktop.
The extension is for Chrome on a computer. It does not run on iPhone, iPad, or mobile browsers.
