How Shallot Works
Stop losing track of recipes scattered across apps, bookmarks, screenshots, and text threads. Shallot turns the chaos into an organized, searchable library that's always at your fingertips when it's time to cook.
Save recipes from anywhere in just a few taps. No more digging through bookmarks, screenshots, and message threads to find that perfect dish.
Find
Recipes hide everywhere — a Reel from your favorite food creator, a Pinterest board you started in 2019, a screenshot from your sister, a tab you opened last Tuesday and forgot about. Shallot meets them where they are.
- Works in any iOS app with a Share button
- Reels, posts, blog articles, and links — all welcome
- Nothing to copy, paste, or remember
Share
Tap the share button you already use a hundred times a week, pick Shallot, and you're done. The iOS Share Extension means you never leave Instagram, Safari, TikTok, or Messages — Shallot quietly grabs the recipe in the background while you keep scrolling.
- One tap from any iOS share sheet
- Pin Shallot as a favorite for instant access
- Saves in the background — no app switching
Organize
Shallot pulls out the title, ingredients, instructions, and photo, then drops the recipe into a beautiful library that's actually yours. Filter by meal type, browse your favorites, or search across every recipe you've ever saved.
- Browse by Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and more
- Mark Favorites for the recipes you cook on repeat
- Search every saved recipe instantly
Cook
When it's time to actually cook, every recipe opens to a clean, distraction-free view. Tap Start Cooking to step through the recipe at your own pace, with the original source always one tap away if you want to go back. No ads, no life stories, no autoplaying videos.
- Tap Start Cooking for step-by-step mode
- Ingredients, instructions, and photo all in one view
- Original source preserved — go back any time
