Tap the + button on the home tab and choose your input method. You can paste a URL from any recipe site, take a photo of a cookbook page, speak the recipe out loud, share from Instagram or TikTok, import a Paprika library, or type it manually. Most users start with the URL paste — it's the fastest way to load a recipe.

In Paprika, go to Settings → Backup Recipes → Save to File. You'll get a .paprikarecipes file. Open it on your phone and choose 'Open in Heard Recipes.' The whole library — recipes, photos, categories, notes — imports in one tap. No re-typing.

Heard Recipes works fully offline for saved recipes. You can browse, cook, and edit recipes without an internet connection. The features that need a connection are URL parsing, AI assistant, photo OCR, and social media import — anything that has to call out to a server. Cook mode itself is fully offline.

Heard Recipes supports 50,000+ recipe sites and our parser pipeline catches about 97% of them on the first try. If a recipe didn't parse cleanly, try sharing the URL again — sometimes a site that was blocked yesterday works today. If it still fails, you can manually edit the recipe to fix any missing fields, or send us the URL at support@heardrecipes.com and we'll add it to our test set.

In Settings → Allergens, mark which of the Big 9 (milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, sesame) apply to you. Heard Recipes uses an 800+ ingredient mapping database to catch hidden allergens — tahini under sesame, ghee under milk, Worcestershire under fish. Affected recipes show a clear red warning and the specific trigger ingredient is highlighted.
