Prep Slate — a recipe app for home cooks
Your cookbook, ready when the stove is on.
Save recipes, plan the week, cook without scrolling or squinting.
The whole loop, not just the kitchen
The problem
You have been
here before.
Step 3, hands wet, the screen goes dark.
→The screen stays lit start to finish. You never touch it with raw-chicken hands.
You check the ingredients, come back, and your place is gone.
→Progress is saved as you go. Switch tabs, reload, lock the phone, and you are still on step 4.
Double the recipe and the app asks for 0.66 of an egg.
→Scaling rounds to what a kitchen actually uses: 3 eggs, ¾ cup, not a decimal.
Two hundred recipes saved, and the one you want is somewhere in folder seven.
→Search every ingredient and note, not just titles. Type "chicken," cook in ten seconds.
Cook mode

A library that scales
Past 50 saves, every folder app turns into a graveyard.
Smart tags apply themselves on import. Search reaches ingredients, tags, and notes, not just titles.
Plan
The plan knows when to start.
Tell it when you want to eat. It walks the timeline back: pre-prep at 4:45, prep everything else at 5:05, on the stove at 5:15.
Shop
The shopping list adds itself up.
Push a recipe to the list and every ingredient merges in, totaled and deduplicated. Two onions become one line. Check off as you walk the aisles.
At the desk, too
