Plan the week
A weekly board keeps breakfast, lunch and dinner in view, with leftovers carried over to the next day.
Smart shopping list
The list updates when the plan changes, so you never buy for a dinner you moved to next week.
Cooking mode
Step through the recipe with big buttons, keep several timers going and scale servings on the fly.
Your own cookbook
Paste text, type a note or photograph a handwritten card. Ingredients and steps are sorted for you automatically.
About Simmer
We are a small team of people who cook most evenings and got tired of screenshots, bookmarks and paper cards scattered across three drawers. The app keeps everything in one searchable place, understands units and quantities, and steps through a recipe on a phone propped against the kettle without you touching the screen. Add dietary filters, notes and ratings, and it becomes a cookbook that reflects how your household really eats.

Frequently asked questions
Can I add my own recipes?
Of course. Type them in, paste text from anywhere or snap a photo of a handwritten card, and Simmer will structure the ingredients and steps.
Does it handle dietary restrictions?
Filter by vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and more. Substitutions are suggested when an ingredient does not fit.
How does the shopping list work?
