FAQ

Honest answers, short and human.

The questions people actually ask. Something missing? Write to us and we will answer in person.

Getting started

Is there an app to install?

No. forever.recipes runs entirely in the browser on a phone, tablet, or computer. After signing in, use the recipe form to type or paste a recipe, draft from rough notes, or upload a photo of a recipe card for an editable AI draft.

Can I try before paying?

Yes — that is what the free plan is for. Unlimited books and your first ten recipes, with three AI drafts a day, no card and no trial clock. You only meet Forever Club pricing if your family outgrows ten recipes or you want the PDF export without the small free-plan footer.

Privacy

Is my cookbook private?

Your call, per book. Public means anyone with the unguessable link can read it; private means only you. You can flip the switch in the book settings anytime, and flipping to private takes effect immediately.

Can I get my data out?

You can use browser print or PDF export for your book. The account page also provides account deletion. Stripe may retain billing and subscription records under its own obligations and policies.

Who sees the photos I upload?

Only people you share the book link with, and only if the book is public. Photos live in private object storage and are served through the app; there is no public gallery, no feed, no discovery page.

Printing

Do you ship printed books?

No. forever.recipes does not print, bind, sell, or ship physical books. Browser print and PDF export are available, with a small footer on free-plan PDFs. You can take the PDF to a local or online printer you select and agree the paper, binding, quantity, price, and delivery directly with that printer.

Can I print my book?

Yes. Browser print and PDF export are free for everyone: the editorial view is built to come out of a printer looking like a real book, one recipe per page. Free-plan PDFs carry a small footer; Forever Club gives you the same pages clean.

Club & billing

What happens if I cancel Forever Club?

Nothing dramatic. You keep full access until the end of the paid period, then you glide back to the free plan. Your books stay readable and editable forever; only the club extras (unlimited recipes, bigger AI allowance, clean PDF export) pause.

Do you offer refunds?

Subscriptions renew automatically and you can cancel anytime from the customer portal; you keep the club until the period ends. Refund requests are handled case by case at [email protected]. Details are on the refunds page.

Is there a catch with the free plan?

The free plan includes unlimited books, 10 recipes across them, and 3 AI drafts a day. The pricing page lists the current Forever Club options.

AI

Do you use my recipes to train AI?

AI features are optional. When you request an AI draft, the submitted notes or photo are sent to OpenRouter for processing under its current terms and privacy policy. You can enter and edit recipes without using an AI draft.
