Compote is your all-in-one social kitchen. It allows you to instantly import or create recipes, plan your weekly meals, generate automatic shopping lists, and share your favourite dishes directly with friends and family.

Compote is available from the Apple App Store, and will be downloadable from the Google Play Store very soon!

Credits enable you to import recipes using a URL, or generate an AI image sketch. You can see how many credits you have remaining in Settings. You can unlock more credits by watching a short ad, or by upgrading to Premium.

If you would prefer not to generate AI image sketches, and instead use your own photos, and stick to adding recipes manually, from images, by pasting in text, or generating it using AI (rather than importing from a URL) you will have unlimited use of Compote, and won't use any credits!

Tap the Settings (gear) icon in the top right corner. Tap your current profile picture to upload a new one, or tap the pencil icon next to your name to edit it.

Go to the Library tab and tap the + (Add) icon. You have five options for importing a recipe:

• Link: Paste the URL of any food blog or website.
• Paste: Paste the raw text of a recipe.
• Photo: Upload a screenshot or photo.
• AI: Tell our AI what you want to eat, and it will invent a recipe for you!
• Manual: Type it in yourself from scratch.

In the Library tab, tap the "Organise" button. Tap the recipes you want to move (a checkmark will appear), then tap "Move to Folders" at the bottom of the screen to select their new home. You can also select the Settings (gear) icon when viewing a particular recipe to see which folders the recipe is in and add it to any additional ones. You can also press the + icon within a folder to add recipes directly to it!

Once a recipe has been imported and saved, you will have the option of uploading your own image, or generating an AI sketch. You can switch between the two if you change your mind!

If you love the AI sketch, but would still like to have a real-life photo to refer to (for example, how a cake should be decorated), you can upload as many photos as you like to the reference images section. Simply edit the recipe, scroll down to the notes & photos section, and click the '+ADD' button. Don't forget to save your changes!

Click on the "FOLDERS" tab from your library page, scroll to the bottom, and select the plus button.

An AI image will automatically generate for all new folders you create. If you would prefer to use your own photos, click on the folder image once, and click on the upload button in the top right hand corner. You will then have the option to add from your photos, or to take a picture.

Yes! You can sort recipes by date, alphabetical order or rating. You can sort your folders by date, or alphabetical order.

Go to the Social tab. You can search for your friend by typing their exact 6-digit Friend Code (which they can find in their Settings) or by searching their name. Tap "Add" to send them a friend request. You can remove a friend at any time by clicking on their profile and pressing 'Unfriend', or choosing 'Unfriend' from the menu in the messages tab.

If someone adds you, a "Friend Requests" banner will appear at the top of your Social tab. You can accept or decline them there. You must accept a request before you can message each other.

Open the recipe you want to share, and tap the Share icon (the arrow pointing right). Select the friends or Group Chats you want to send it to, type an optional message, and hit Send. It will drop right into their chat inbox! If you're already chatting with someone, you can simply choose a recipe to share by pressing the '+' button in the chat and searching for the recipe you would like to share.

You can also share via WhatsApp, email, text etc., or save the recipe as text to your files. It will only be shared outside of the app as text, and will not include your lovely photos.

In the Social tab, tap the Message icon to open your chats. Tap the "+ Group" button, give your group a name (e.g., "Baking Squad"), select the friends you want to include, and hit Create.

Open any recipe and tap the Calendar icon to schedule it. Choose the day, the meal type (Breakfast, Lunch, Snack or Dinner), and how many people you are serving. It will automatically scale the ingredients for you! Alternatively, tap the Meal Planner icon, click the + button on the day you want to add the meal for, choose the meal type, and how many people you want it to serve.

By default, Compote automatically syncs your Shopping List with your Meal Planner. If you schedule a Pasta recipe for Tuesday, the pasta ingredients will seamlessly combine and appear in your shopping list.

If your meal planner is synced with the shopping list, it will autofill with the ingredients for your planned meals. You can also add ingredients manually by typing in the name and quantity at the top of the list and pressing 'add'. If you want to add the ingredients for a whole recipe, but would prefer not to use the meal plan, simply choose your recipe and number of servings, and press the shopping trolley icon at the top of the screen.

Yes. Go to the Shopping tab, open your Settings (the gear icon), and toggle off "Sync List w/ Planner." You can then use the shopping list entirely manually.

Checked items are crossed out and moved to the bottom of the list. If you want to permanently clear your list and start fresh, tap the rubbish bin icon to "Clear All." You can also delete items individually by pressing the 'x' button.

When you are ready to cook, open a recipe and tap "Cook Mode". Our AI will break down the instructions into easy, step-by-step slides so you don't lose your place while your hands are covered in flour, and don't have to keep scrolling between the ingredients and method steps!

We've got you covered. Open your Settings and toggle on "Keep Screen Awake." Your phone screen will stay on as long as you are looking at a recipe. Alternatively, you can use Cook Mode which will automatically keep your screen awake.

Tap the Timer icon at the top of the screen. You can select a quick preset (5m, 10m, 30m) or type in a custom time. You can leave the recipe, browse your library, or chat with friends, and the timer will stay pinned to the top of your screen!

You can also set a timer from within Cook Mode. Press the timer icon at the top right of the screen, and choose your time. The remaining time display will move with each step, and will remain pinned to your screen even if you exit Cook Mode!

For your privacy and security, account deletion is absolute and immediate. Your profile, saved recipes, meal plans, uploaded photos, and chat history will be permanently erased from our databases.

No. Because we wipe your data completely from our servers to protect your privacy, an account cannot be recovered once it is deleted.
