Shop

A grocery list that writes itself.

Add a recipe's ingredients to your list in one tap. Aroma adds up like items for you, so two recipes calling for onions become one line, and can sort everything by store aisle.

A grocery list for the salmon recipe, grouped into Produce, Meat & Seafood, and Pantry & Dry Goods.

Add your recipes

Bring in the recipes you already love.

Type in a family favorite, paste a link from a recipe site, or scan a printed or handwritten card with your camera. Add a photo, steps, notes, and the flavors that make it yours.

The New Recipe form with a headline photo, name, prep and cook times, servings and course tags, plus import and scan buttons.

Private On-device AI

Smart help that stays on your device.

Aroma uses Apple's private on-device intelligence to do the busywork for you. It all runs on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, so these features never send your recipes to an AI service, a third party, or to us.

  • Turn a scanned recipe card into a full recipe
  • Estimate nutrition and fill in missing cook times
  • Suggest sides and drinks to serve alongside a dish
  • Explain an unfamiliar ingredient or tool, and sort your grocery list by aisle

Your kitchen, your data.

There's no Aroma account, no ads, and no tracking. Aroma doesn't collect your data or send it to us: your recipes live on your devices and in your own iCloud. The only time a recipe leaves your hands is when you choose to share it by link.
