A cookbook that learns from you.
Save what you cook, adapt what you save, and never lose a recipe to a dead link again.



Paste any link.
Hugo does the rest.
Drop in a recipe from a short-form video, a web page, or just a URL on your clipboard. Hugo reads the ingredients, the steps, the timings — and saves the whole thing to your cookbook in seconds.
- Works with short-form videos, web pages, and any pasted URL
- Extracts ingredients and steps automatically
- Keeps a link back to the original source
- Your private library — never indexed, never sold

This is one of those recipes that…
More than a recipe app.
A kitchen workflow built for how you actually save, change, and cook.
Favorites & collections
Save anything to your favorites. Organize into named collections like Weeknight Dinners or Date Night. One recipe can live in many.
Create your version
Make any recipe yours. Tweak ingredients and steps, save your version, keep a reference to the original.
Import from anywhere
Paste or share a link from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or the web. Hugo extracts the full recipe — ingredients, steps, timings — automatically.
Your personal cookbook
Every recipe you import, create, or adapt lives in one searchable library. No more hunting through Instagram saves or scattered notes.
Talk to Hugo
Ask Hugo about any recipe — swap an ingredient, scale servings, adapt for a dietary need. Your AI sous-chef, on call.
Manual recipes
Build from scratch with a guided flow: cover photo, ingredients with units, step-by-step instructions, and private notes.
Hi, I’m Hugo.
Ask me anything.
I read your recipes. I know what’s in your cookbook. I can swap ingredients, scale servings, adjust for diets, suggest tweaks, and answer questions while you cook. One tap, on every recipe.

Real recipes, real cooks.
A peek at what people are saving, adapting, and cooking on Hugo this week.
Three steps. Endlessly remixable.
Save it
Paste any link, share from another app, or write your own recipe by hand. Hugo organizes the whole thing — ingredients, steps, timings.
Adapt it
Create your version. Swap ingredients, scale servings, ask Hugo for a vegan take. Your version saves alongside the original.
Cook it
Step-by-step in the kitchen. Tap an ingredient to convert units. Ask Hugo a question without losing your place.

The usual stuff.
What is Hugo, really?
Hugo is a recipe app for people who collect recipes everywhere — Instagram Reels, TikTok, food blogs, cookbooks — and want one place that holds everything, lets you adapt it, and helps you cook it. Hugo (the mouse) is also the name of the AI sous-chef baked in: ask him to swap an ingredient, scale a recipe, or make it vegan.
How does importing work?
Paste a link or use the iOS Share Sheet from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or any food blog. Hugo reads the post or page, extracts the ingredients, steps, and timings, and saves a clean version to your cookbook — with a link back to the original.
What can I import from?
Instagram Reels and posts, TikTok videos, YouTube videos (with descriptions or captions), and most recipe websites. If something fails to extract, you can paste the text directly and Hugo will organize it for you.
Is Hugo free?
Yes — the whole cookbook, favorites, collections, adapting recipes, and manual recipes are free forever. Pro adds unlimited imports and unlimited Hugo chats across your whole library.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your cookbook is private by default. We don’t index it, we don’t sell it, and we don’t scrape it for training. You can delete your account and all your data at any time.
Android?
Not yet. We’re iOS-first while we figure out the cooking experience. Drop your email below and we’ll let you know when Android lands.
Can I cancel Pro?
Anytime from your iPhone’s App Store subscriptions. You’ll keep Pro until the end of your billing period, then drop back to Free — your cookbook stays exactly as you left it.
