    Cookslate is a powerful and flexible recipe manager designed for home cooks who want to organize their culinary chaos. Unlike other recipe apps, Cookslate focuses on remembering how you cook, adapting to your personal methods and preferences. It's a self-hosted solution, giving you complete control over your data and recipes, and it's easy to set up on any PHP hosting environment, eliminating the need for complex Docker setups.

    Whether you're a novice in the kitchen or a seasoned chef, Cookslate provides the tools you need to cook smarter and more efficiently. It offers a comprehensive suite of features to manage your recipes, plan your meals, and even track your cooking habits.

    Key Features:

    • Self-Hosted & Open Source: Take control of your data. Always free and open source for the core functionalities.
    • Recipe Import: Seamlessly import recipes from any URL with just a paste.
    • Full-Text Search: Quickly find any recipe with robust search capabilities.
    • Organization Tools: Utilize tags, favorites, and ratings to categorize and discover your recipes.
    • Cook Mode: A dedicated mode that includes built-in timers to help you follow recipes step-by-step.
    • Grocery Lists: Automatically generate grocery lists from your selected recipes.
    • Cook Logging: Keep a record of the recipes you've cooked.
    • Customization: Enjoy a dark mode and a mobile-responsive design for a comfortable user experience.

    Cookslate Pro offers enhanced features for a one-time purchase, including meal planning with a weekly view, detailed cook tracking statistics with year-in-review summaries, recipe annotations for margin notes, multi-user household support (up to 5 users), data export in JSON-LD format, and PWA offline support.

    Who is Cookslate for?

    Cookslate is ideal for individuals and families who:

    • Manage a large collection of recipes from various sources.
    • Want to move away from cloud-based services and have full data ownership.
    • Appreciate the ability to customize and adapt their tools.
    • Need an efficient way to plan meals and generate shopping lists.
    • Enjoy tracking their cooking journey and improving their skills.

    Main Problem Solved:

    The primary problem Cookslate solves is the disorganization and inaccessibility of personal recipe collections. It centralizes all your recipes, makes them easily searchable, and adapts to your personal cooking style, moving beyond simple recipe storage to a personalized culinary assistant.

    Benefits:

    • Full Data Ownership & Privacy: Being self-hosted means your data is yours.
    • Streamlined Cooking Process: Features like Cook Mode and grocery lists simplify meal preparation.
    • Enhanced Organization: Never lose track of a favorite recipe again.
    • Personalized Experience: Adapt the tool to your unique cooking habits.
    • Cost-Effective: A robust free version and an affordable one-time purchase for Pro features.

    Getting started is simple: clone the repository, install wizard, and begin importing your favorite recipes.
