How can we help?

Clever Cupboard helps you save recipes, plan meals, build shopping lists, and cook from your recipe library.

You can start by saving one recipe from a photo, a recipe website, or a social media post.

Open the app and go to the Recipes tab. Tap Add Recipe to save your first recipe.

If you want to see the walkthrough again, go to the Profile tab and tap Replay Tutorial.

You can browse community recipes without an account.

To save recipes, build meal plans, or create shopping lists, you will need a free Clever Cupboard account.

You can add a recipe in a few different ways:

1. Recipe website link - paste a link from a recipe website.
2. Recipe photo - take or choose a photo of a printed recipe or recipe card.
3. Social media post - share a recipe post to Clever Cupboard.
4. Manual entry - type the recipe in yourself.

After an import, review the recipe and make any edits before you save it.

1. Copy the recipe website link.
2. Open Clever Cupboard.
3. Go to Recipes and tap Add Recipe.
4. Tap Import.
5. Choose the Link tab, paste the web address, and tap Import.
6. Review the recipe and tap Save Recipe.

Website recipes usually work best when the page includes clear ingredients and instructions.

That can happen, especially with short posts, blurry photos, or recipes that are missing details.

Before saving, tap any field to correct the recipe name, ingredients, amounts, or instructions.

Yes. From the Recipes tab, tap the add button and choose to create a recipe manually.

This is a good choice for family recipes you already know by heart.

Clever Cupboard can import recipes from many social media posts, but not every post will work. It works best when the post includes written ingredients, amounts, and instructions. If the recipe is only in a video, only spoken out loud, hidden in comments, private, or missing the full recipe, the import may be incomplete.

If the import is incomplete, try pasting the caption, adding a screenshot, or finding the original recipe website link.

1. Open the Instagram recipe reel or post.
2. Tap the share/send arrow.
3. Tap Share to, then tap More.
4. Choose Clever Cupboard from the app list.
5. Wait for Clever Cupboard to import the recipe.
6. Review the recipe and tap Save.

Facebook posts with a link to an outside recipe website usually work best.

1. Open the Facebook recipe post.
2. Tap Share.
3. Choose Clever Cupboard.
4. Review the recipe and tap Save.

Clever Cupboard can import recipes from many Facebook posts, but not every post will work. It works best when the post includes written ingredients, amounts, and instructions. If the recipe is only in a video, only spoken out loud, hidden in comments, private, or missing the full recipe, the import may be incomplete.

If the recipe is in a photo or graphic, save the image and use Recipe Photo instead.

Pinterest links may not import directly. The most reliable method is to open the original recipe website from the pin.

1. Open the pin in Pinterest.
2. Tap the link that goes to the original recipe website.
3. Copy that website link.
4. Open Clever Cupboard, tap Add Recipe, then Import.
5. Paste the link in the Link tab and tap Import.

Clever Cupboard can import recipes from many Pinterest-related links, but not every pin will work. It works best when the linked page includes written ingredients, amounts, and instructions. If the recipe is only in a video, hidden in comments, private, or missing the full recipe, the import may be incomplete.

Try one of these options:

1. Copy and paste the caption or post text into Clever Cupboard.
2. Take a screenshot of the recipe and use Recipe Photo.
3. Look for a link to the original recipe website and import that link instead.
4. Save the recipe and edit any missing details before cooking.

Yes. Take a clear photo of the handwritten recipe card, import it into Clever Cupboard, review the details, and save it to your recipe library.

Once it is saved, you can find it later while cooking, shopping, or meal planning.

1. Open Clever Cupboard and go to Recipes.
2. Tap Add Recipe.
3. Tap Import.
4. Choose the Recipe Photo tab.
5. Take a photo or choose one from your phone.
6. Review the recipe details and fix anything that looks off.
7. Tap Save Recipe.

For best results, use a bright, clear photo where the writing is easy to read.

Not always. Blurry photos, shadows, messy handwriting, or missing instructions can make the recipe incomplete.

If something is missing, edit the recipe before saving it.

Use the Calendar tab to plan meals for the week.

Open a recipe and tap Add to Calendar. Choose the date and meal slot, then confirm.

Yes. After you plan meals, Clever Cupboard can add the ingredients to your shopping list so you know what to buy.

Review the list before shopping and remove anything you already have at home.

Open the Calendar tab, tap the meal you want to remove, and choose Remove from Calendar.

Open the recipe and tap Add to Shopping List. The ingredients will appear in your Shopping tab.

You can review the list and remove anything you do not need.

Yes. Go to the Shopping tab and tap the add button to type in anything else you need.

Tap an item to mark it as collected. Checked items move out of your way so you can focus on what is left.

Cook Mode gives you a simpler view of a recipe while you are cooking.

Open a saved recipe and tap Cook Mode to follow the steps more easily.

Yes. Open the recipe and tap the edit button. You can fix ingredients, steps, notes, or categories before you cook.

Your saved recipes are in the Recipes tab. Recipes you import, type in, or save from Community can be stored in your Clever Cupboard recipe library.

Community is where Clever Cupboard users can share recipes with other users.

You can browse community recipes and save the ones you like to your own recipe library.

A private community is a group where invited members can share recipes with each other.

Only members of that private community can see the recipes inside it.

Open a saved recipe and tap the share button. You can send a recipe link or share it with the Clever Cupboard Community if that option is available.

Only share recipes you have the right to share. See our Terms & Conditions for details.

Tap More in the share sheet and scroll through the app list. If Clever Cupboard is installed, it should appear there.

If you still do not see it, open Clever Cupboard once, then try sharing the recipe again.

Open the recipe review screen and add the missing ingredients before saving.

If the recipe was already saved, open the recipe and tap the edit button.

Make sure you are signed in to the same Clever Cupboard account on both devices.
