📥 Adding recipes

Import from the web or YouTube, paste text, or write your own.

• The ways to add a recipeThree options — Web Import from a page, Quick Paste from text, or Write My Own.
• Importing from a recipe websiteOpen the recipe page in ReciLore's built-in browser and tap "Import Recipe".
• Importing from YouTubeOpen the video in ReciLore's browser and tap Import — it reads the description and any linked recipe pages.
• Pasting recipe textUse Quick Paste when Web Import can't read a page, or for a recipe from a message, email, or photo caption.
• Writing your own recipeAdd a recipe by hand with "Write My Own" — Quick or Structured entry, and add a photo after the first save.
• Fixing a recipe that imported wrongOpen the recipe and edit — every field ReciLore extracted can be corrected.
• Updating a recipe you already importedRe-import the same page and choose "Update" — it replaces the content but keeps your pins, loves, tried mark, tags, and date added.
• The Free recipe limitFree households can keep 10 recipes at once. Delete one to make room, or upgrade to ReciLore Full to remove the cap.
