Point your camera at dinner. Plate names the ingredients, writes the steps, estimates the nutrition, and turns it all into a recipe that looks as good as it tastes.

However a recipe reaches you — a plate in front of you, a link in a chat, or notes in your head — Plate turns it into something you can cook from.
Point your camera at any dish. Plate identifies the ingredients and writes a structured recipe with quantities and steps.

Hand-type a family recipe and let AI organize the ingredients, estimate nutrition, and create the visuals.

You already own a binder, a recipe box and a phone full of screenshots. The reason none of it works is not the container. What actually makes a recipe findable, and where to start this weekend.

Plate is out. Here is what the app does on day one — photo to recipe, ingredient-level nutrition, cinematic teardowns — what it costs, and where to get it.

Dinner is rarely a missing-recipe problem. It is a what-can-I-make-with-this problem. Here is how Plate searches from the ingredients in your kitchen instead of a dish name.
FAQ
Plate is a private, AI-powered visual cookbook for iOS. It turns food photos, recipe links, and hand-typed notes into structured recipes with ingredient-level nutrition and cinematic teardown images you can save, cook from, and export.
No. Plate shows ingredient-level nutrition inside recipes so you understand what you're cooking, but it is not a calorie tracker, diet app, or fitness tool. There are no daily budgets, weight goals, or guilt-based scoring.
Plate uses AI to analyze dishes, build recipes, and generate visuals through secure backend services. There is no advertising tracking, no data is sold, and AI providers never receive your identity — only the recipe content needed to do the work.
You can explore Plate and create recipes on the free tier with some limits. Plate Pro unlocks unlimited AI recipe creation, all visual types, full nutrition, premium styles, watermark-free hi-res and PDF export, and private cloud sync.
Plate is fully localized in 20 languages: English, Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, and Vietnamese.
