Forage is built by cookbook lovers for cookbook lovers. It uses OCR and ML to make your cookbook index pages searchable. Instantly find recipes by title, ingredient, or keyword in your beloved books without endless page flipping.
Hello fellow app creators and product lovers! 🌟
Forage was born out of a love for cookbooks and a frustration with how difficult they are to navigate. Picture this: over 40 cookbooks stacked high, each full of incredible recipes, yet finding one specific dish felt like an impossible task. Cookbooks are analog treasures, but in a world of search-powered apps and blogs, they often collect dust.
That’s why we created Forage, an app designed to make cookbook collections searchable, organized, and loved again. 📚✨
With Forage, you simply:
- Scan your cookbook's barcode or manually add it.
- Snap photos of the index pages, which extract the searchable entries.
- Quickly find recipes by name or ingredients or any keyword.
- Bookmark your favorites.
This iPhone app has helped us (and many others) rediscover the joy of cooking. If you’re someone who loves blending analog treasures with digital ease, Forage might just be your new favorite tool.
We’d love to hear your thoughts or ideas for improvement. Let us know at app@foragebooks.com.
Let Forage do the searching, so you can do the cooking!
