Capture from anywhere, cook without the chaos, plan the week, shop with one merged list — and always know what's for dinner tonight. Sorrel is the recipe manager built to replace the sticky note pile, the screenshot folder and the app you've outgrown.
Coming to iOS · Android · Windows · Mac · Web
Save a recipe from any website, in one tap, with a share-sheet extension. Sorrel reads the same structured recipe data Google uses for recipe cards, so ingredients, steps, times and photos land in your library clean — no retyping, no copy-paste mess.
A cook mode built for a kitchen counter, not a browser tab: your screen stays awake, type is large enough to read from across the room, and timers mentioned in the method ("simmer for 20 minutes") become tappable timers automatically.
Cooking for two instead of four? Sorrel rewrites quantities throughout the method, not just the ingredient list, and converts between metric and imperial per your preference.
Drag recipes onto the days you'll cook them. Sorrel keeps portions and leftovers in view, so the week comes together without a spreadsheet.
Selected recipes merge into a single shopping list, duplicate ingredients combined automatically, ready to share with anyone else doing the shop.
Add your own notes to any recipe and see when you last cooked it — recipes become living documents, not static text, so "what did I change last time" is never a guess.
Import your existing Paprika library directly, or bring recipes across from Crouton, Mealie, Copy Me That and others. Sorrel shows exactly what imported cleanly and what needs a second look, rather than a silent best-effort that leaves you guessing.
Sorrel's core is a one-time purchase, roughly the price of a Paprika licence — but it's cross-platform from day one, including the web, with no separate charge per device. No subscription is required to own your recipes, and your data exports in an open format, always.
A future household plan will add shared libraries, sync, and weekly planning intelligence — but nothing you get at launch will ever move behind a paywall later.
Named after the herb, Sorrel started from a familiar frustration: recipes scattered across bookmarks, screenshots and a paid app that still feels like a filing cabinet. Paprika wins on capture, AnyList on lists, Crouton on cook mode, Mealie on data ownership — but no single app covers the whole loop from finding a recipe to plating dinner. Sorrel is built by one developer trying to close that gap, in the open, one honest release at a time.
