About Scappi

Last updated October 5, 2026

Scappi is a recipe box app for iPhone and iPad that turns recipes from any website, cookbook or handwritten card into one clear recipe you can cook from, for home cooks whose recipes are scattered everywhere.

What Scappi does

Saves recipes from links and photos

Paste a link or share a recipe page to Scappi, and it keeps the recipe itself: the ingredients, the steps and a picture, without the life story or the ads. Photograph a cookbook page, a magazine or a handwritten card and Scappi reads that too. Every recipe arrives in your language, even when it was written in another.

Shows the whole recipe at once

A step diagram shows how a recipe fits together: what you can do while the sauce simmers and what has to wait. Prefer a list? The classic step-by-step view is a tap away.

Keeps your place while you cook

Tick off ingredients and steps as you go. Timers sit in the step that needs them and keep counting when the phone is locked. Every recipe on your device works offline, so a weak signal in the kitchen never stops dinner.

Fits amounts to your kitchen

Double a recipe or halve it and every amount follows. Read it in cups and spoons, grams and milliliters or deciliters, whatever your kitchen uses.

Cooks more than one dish at once

Making a roast and a salad for the same dinner? See both recipes together in one combined view and keep them in step.

Adapts recipes to your taste

Ask Scappi to swap an ingredient, make a dish dairy-free or fit it to a smaller pan. Every change is shown before it’s saved, and you can always go back.

Organizes and shares

Keep favorites and collections, and search by ingredient or tag. Share a collection with family or friends, or send a recipe with a link anyone can open, with or without Scappi.

What makes Scappi different

Before we built Scappi, we tried the recipe apps people recommend, among them Paprika, Mela, ReciMe, Crouton and Pestle. None of them fit the way we cook, so Scappi does these things its own way.

One recipe from anything

A link, a screenshot, a photo of a cookbook page and a handwritten card all become the same clear recipe, with the same ingredients list, steps and timers. When a page is hard to read, a second reader tries it before Scappi asks you for a screenshot instead.

A step diagram, not only a list

A recipe is usually written as a numbered list, which hides what can happen at the same time. Scappi also draws it as a diagram, so before you start you can see what runs side by side and what has to wait.

Your language and your measures

Scappi speaks 8 languages: English, Swedish, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Estonian. A recipe written in another language arrives in yours, and its amounts convert between cups, grams, milliliters and deciliters.

A free plan you can really cook with

Cooking, timers and every recipe you’ve saved are free and unlimited, with no account needed. The free plan adds 15 recipes to start, then 3 in any 30 days, and 6 changes from the recipe chat. Scappi Pro raises that to 100 in any 30 days and keeps the chat open, for €5.99 a month or €39.99 a year after a 2-week free trial.

No ads, and your recipes stay yours

Scappi shows no ads, and we don’t sell your data or use it for advertising. Scappi is made in Estonia, in the EU, and you can delete your account and every recipe in it from the app’s Settings.

The team behind Scappi

Scappi is made by Ted Steen together with family and friends, under OÜ Gears of Sumo in Tallinn, Estonia. Ted has a background in software development and in starting and running tech companies.

Scappi started in 2026 because we were tired of sifting through hard-to-read recipes buried in ads and life stories. Our own recipes were scattered across notes, photos on our phones and links, some of them long dead. We wanted one clean place to keep every recipe and an easy way to cook from it. The apps we tried didn’t fit, so we built Scappi.
