The recipe app for people who cook together

Why Manjo
Built for the way households actually cook
-
Save from anywhere
Every recipe you find, in one place
Paste a link, snap a handwritten card or share a Reel or a TikTok. Manjo pulls out the ingredients and the steps and leaves the clutter behind, so what you saved is a recipe you can cook from, not a bookmark you forget.
-
Cook together
One cookbook for the people you cook with
Share a cookbook with your partner, your flatmates or your family. Everyone adds, edits and cooks from the same recipes, and the shopping list fills itself from what you plan to make. It syncs live and keeps working in the supermarket basement.
-
Make it yours
Cook it hands-free, or twist it first
Let's Cook walks you through one step at a time, with the timers built in and your hands free for the pan. Twist It makes a recipe vegetarian, halves it or swaps the dairy, and the original stays exactly as it was.
How it works
From "look at this recipe" to dinner on the table
-
Capture from anywhere
Paste a link, a photo of a cookbook page, plain text or a cooking video. Manjo turns it into a clean, structured recipe.
-
Share a cookbook
Your recipes land in cookbooks you share with your partner, family or friends. Everyone adds, everyone cooks.
-
Cook it together
Let's Cook walks you through steps hands-free, with timers built in. No more scrolling with flour on your thumbs.
-
Shop for it
One tap builds a shared shopping list from any recipe. It syncs live, and it keeps working offline in the store.
Features
Everything between "saw it" and "made it"
-
Recipe capture that just works
Links, plain text, photos of handwritten cards. All of it comes out as ingredients and steps you can actually cook from.
-
Video import Beta
Save recipes straight from cooking videos on social media. In beta, getting better every week.
-
Collaborative cookbooks
A shared place for the dishes your household actually makes. Everyone can add, edit and cook.
-
Twist It
Make it vegetarian, halve it, swap the dairy. Remix any recipe and the original stays exactly where it was.
-
Shopping lists with offline sync
Tap a recipe into a shared list. It syncs live and keeps working in the supermarket basement.
-
Meal planning
Drag recipes onto a calendar and know what is for dinner before 17:00 panic sets in.
-
Search that understands food
"Something quick with courgette" finds the right recipe, because search here understands the food rather than matching the letters.
-
Beautiful exports Pro
Turn a cookbook into a real PDF or EPUB you can keep, print or give away.
Longer reads: getting a recipe out of a Reel or a TikTok and cooking with someone else without the group chat.
Private by design, made in Europe
Cooking is personal. We keep it that way.
Built in the EU, hosted in the EU
Your recipes and your account live in Frankfurt. The AI that reads your recipes is Mistral, made in France and run in the EU, and every service that handles your data processes it in the EU. GDPR is our home turf. Even the fonts on this page come from our own domain, so reading it does not hand your IP address to Google.
Your recipes leave with you
Everything you save is yours to take. Ask for your whole account as a data export whenever you want, on any plan. Pro also turns a cookbook into a PDF or EPUB you can keep, print or hand to someone.
Real food, honestly labelled
Recipe covers are always real photography. We never generate fake food photos. Anything AI writes or makes carries a visible AI label. We mark what we generate and we surface what others mark.

Questions
Fair questions, straight answers
What is Manjo?
Manjo is a recipe app for people who cook together. It captures recipes from links, photos, text and videos, keeps them in shared cookbooks, and handles the cooking and shopping side too.
Is Manjo a good recipe app for couples and households?
That is exactly what it is built for. Shared cookbooks, shared shopping lists and cook-along mode are the core of Manjo, and they were there in the first version rather than bolted on later.
I already keep recipes in my notes app. Why switch?
Notes are great at holding text, and everything after that is the hard part. Manjo turns a saved recipe into a shopping list, rewrites it for four people when it was written for two, reads the steps out while your hands are covered in flour, and lets your partner add to the same cookbook from their own phone. If your notes app already does all that, stay where you are.
Will it work with my recipes?
Recipe blogs, most cooking sites, photos of cookbook pages, screenshots, handwritten cards, plain text you paste in and cooking videos all go in. The honest limits: very messy handwriting, videos that never say the quantities out loud, and paywalled sites we cannot read. Whatever comes out, you can edit any of it by hand.
Can I save recipes from Instagram and TikTok?
Yes. Paste a link to a cooking video and Manjo extracts the recipe. Video import is in beta: 3 imports a month are free, and Pro removes the cap.
Is Manjo free?
Yes. Saving recipes, sharing cookbooks, cooking and shopping lists are free forever. Pro (€4.99/month or €44.99/year) adds unlimited captures, offline access and cookbook export.
Can I get my recipes back out again?
Yes, and you should be able to. Ask for a full export of your account data on any plan. Pro turns a cookbook into a PDF or EPUB you can keep, print or hand to someone who has never heard of us. We would rather earn the next month than lock the door.
What happens if I stop paying for Pro?
You drop back to the Free plan and keep every recipe you have saved. Free includes unlimited recipe saves, so going back does not delete anything.
When does Manjo launch?
Manjo launches on iPhone in autumn 2026, with a public beta before that. Join the waitlist to get in first, and to grab one of the 150 founder spots.
Does Manjo show ads or sell my data?
No, and never. No ad networks, no ad tracking, no selling data. Manjo is funded by Pro subscriptions, which means the people paying for it and the people using it are the same people.
Who is building this
A small studio, and a lot of dinners
Manjo is made by Code & Canvas, a studio registered in the Netherlands under KvK 99849526. It started because we kept losing recipes in a group chat, which turns out to be most people's story.
We have not launched yet, so there are no download counts or five-star quotes on this page. What there is instead: everything we have promised, written down, dated and linked below. Read them before you give us your email, and hold us to them afterwards.
