Type or paste
Copy the recipe from anywhere — a blog, a PDF, an email thread — and it lands in your keeper, tidy and searchable.
Every recipe, one safe place
A recipe keeper that becomes your cookbook
Stop losing recipes to screenshots, bookmarks, and chat history. Keep them all in one private place — and here's the twist: every recipe you keep is already a page of your future book.

Keep everything
However a recipe reaches you, it can stay
Use the signed-in recipe form to type or paste, create an editable draft from rough notes, or upload a recipe-card photo for an editable draft before saving.
Photograph a card
Snap grandma's index card or a magazine clipping and AI drafts it into a clean recipe. 3 drafts a day, free.
Draft from notes or a photo
Open the signed-in recipe editor, paste rough notes, or upload a photo of a recipe card. Review the draft before saving it.
Collect from the group chat
Copy a recipe from the family chat, then paste it into the signed-in recipe form and review it before saving.
Find it in seconds
Organized like a book, not a drawer
A keeper is only useful the day you need that one soup recipe before guests arrive. So everything has a place.
Chapters that make sense
Soups, Sundays, things-the-kids-actually-eat — sort every recipe into chapters instead of one endless scroll.
A book per part of your life
Weeknight dinners, the holiday binder, the sourdough experiments. Each gets its own book with its own chapters.
Private by default
Your keeper is yours. Nothing is public unless you flip the switch on a book and share its unguessable link.
Unlimited books, free
Free means free: unlimited books, 10 recipes, 3 AI drafts a day. No card, no trial clock.
And one day, it's a book
The upgrade other keepers can't offer
Most recipe keepers end at the screen. Yours becomes a living online cookbook with a print-ready PDF for any printer.
1Already laid out
The recipes you kept are not a pile of notes — they are already pages, with chapters, photos, and tidy typesetting.
2Pick a cover
Choose a color and title, then share the online cookbook or export its print-ready PDF as a gift.
3Print or share
Print the editorial view from any browser, export a print-ready PDF, or just send the link. The keeper keeps growing either way.

Quick questions
Is the recipe keeper really free?
Yes. The free plan includes unlimited books and your first 10 recipes, with 3 AI drafts a day. No card is required and the free plan does not expire.
Is it an app I have to install?
No. forever.recipes runs entirely in the browser — nothing to download or update. It works the same on your phone, tablet, and laptop, and your recipes are always there when you sign in.
Can I export my recipes?
Yes. Your recipes are yours: the editorial view prints from any browser, one recipe per page, and PDF export is free. Forever Club removes the small footer, and you can use any local or online printer. No lock-in.
What happens when I reach 10 recipes?
Nothing dramatic. You keep reading, cooking from, and sharing everything you already saved — forever, free. You just can't add new recipes until you join Forever Club, which unlocks unlimited recipes and 20 AI drafts a day.
