Revora

A calm, simple cookbook for iPhone and iPad. Type a recipe in yourself, or photograph a cookbook page and let AI fill it in. Add a cover photo, ingredients and steps, and it's with you in the kitchen, even offline.

01 — The path

A walk through the app

Six stops, in the order you'd meet them: from signing in to the setting that turns the whole app from light to dark. Try that one yourself with the switch at the bottom of the screen; every phone along the way follows it.

01 — Sign in

A quiet front door

An email and a password, and nothing else to set up. The name is optional, but Home uses it to greet you. Passwords need at least eight characters, and a forgotten one is a reset link away.

Revora's Log In screen: email and password fields, a Forgot password link and a link to create an account, in light mode

The Create Account screen: an optional name, then email, password and confirm password fields, in light mode

02 — Confirm

Then it waits for you

Before the app opens, Revora asks you to confirm your email, so your recipes are always tied to an address you can get back into. There's no button to press afterwards: it checks by itself and carries on as soon as you've opened the link.

The Confirm Your Email screen: an envelope, a note that a link was sent, 'Waiting for you to confirm', and buttons to send a new link or log out, in light mode

03 — Home

A home that knows the time

Home greets you for the time of day and asks what's next: breakfast in the morning, dinner in the evening. The recipe you opened last waits under Continue Cooking, and Surprise Me picks something when you can't decide.

Revora's Home screen: the date, 'Good morning, Patrik', 'What's for breakfast?', New Recipe and Surprise Me tiles, and an apple pie under Continue Cooking, in light mode

04 — Scan

Snap it, check it

Got a recipe on paper? Photograph the page, or a handwritten card like this one, and Revora reads it for you. It comes back in the editor, filled in for you to check, since a scan can misread a quantity. It's the same editor you'd type a recipe into by hand: a cover photo, meal tags, ingredients and steps.

The Scan Recipe sheet: a photo of a handwritten fudge recipe card above a spinner and 'Reading the recipe…', in light mode

The New Recipe editor filled in from the scan: a note to check the recipe, an Add Photo tile, the title Fudge, Dessert picked under Meal, and the first ingredients, in light mode

05 — Find

Everything within reach

Every recipe in one list, A to Z, or just the ones you've opened lately, or your favorites. Meal chips narrow it to breakfast or dinner, search ignores accents and capitals, and a swipe adds a favorite.

The Recipes tab: Recent, All and Favorites segments, meal filter chips, and recipes listed with thumbnails and ingredient and step counts, in light mode

06 — Make it yours

Yours to switch

The account page holds your name, email and password, help and the legal pages. And under Appearance sits the same switch you've been flipping on this page: System, Light or Dark.

02 — Under the hood

Simple on the surface

Revora is written in Swift and SwiftUI, with Firebase keeping your account and recipes in sync between your iPhone and iPad. A few quiet decisions underneath keep it quick, private and dependable.

Scan with AI

The photo goes to a small Firebase function, which asks OpenAI to read the recipe and hands it back to the editor. The photo isn't kept, and nothing is saved until you tap Save.

Works offline

Recipes save to the phone first and sync to Firebase in the background, so a kitchen with patchy Wi-Fi is no problem.

Private by design

Each recipe belongs to your account, and nobody else can open it. Photos are shrunk on your phone and lose their location before they're uploaded.

No ads, no tracking — delete your account and your recipes go with it
