Why Cook'n users are looking for alternatives

Cook'n has been around for decades, but the software model hasn't kept up with how we use recipes today.

The endless upgrade tax

Cook'n 14... 15... 16... Each major version means another purchase. Your recipes shouldn't require a subscription to your wallet.

Locked inside Cook'n's ecosystem

Your recipes only work within Cook'n apps. Export to universal formats and use them anywhere—any app, any device, forever.

Legacy software concerns

What happens when Cook'n stops updating? When your new computer won't run it? Future-proof your collection now.

Modern app compatibility

Want to use a sleek new recipe app? We export to universal formats that modern apps can import.

Tired of app lock-in?

Your recipes are yours. You shouldn't need a subscription to access them.

Remember Yummly?

When Yummly shut down their recipe box feature, thousands of users lost access to their carefully curated collections overnight. No export option. No migration path. Years of saved recipes, gone. Don't let this happen to you.

Break free from subscriptions

Stop paying monthly fees just to view recipes you created. Export once, own forever.

Escape proprietary formats

Proprietary file formats keep you trapped. Convert to open standards you control.

Future-proof your collection

Apps shut down. Companies pivot. Your recipes in open formats last forever.
