Recipes, restructured

Cook from the recipe, not the website.

Paste a link or snap a cookbook page. Lima places every ingredient inside the step that uses it.

Lima is in beta. Your first 10 recipes are free — after that, connect your own Anthropic API key. See how it's stored.

The differentiator

Every ingredient, placed where you need it.

Most apps dump a flat ingredients list at the top and leave you scrolling. Lima ties each ingredient to the step that uses it — so when you're cooking, you see exactly what goes in, when.

The shape of it

Built for cooking, not for scrolling.

01 / Save

From any URL or page photo

Paste a link from a food blog or newspaper. Or photograph a page from a cookbook. Lima reads either and extracts the recipe — title, timing, ingredients, method.

02 / Cook

Ingredients placed inside each step

No flipping back and forth between the ingredients list and the method. Each step shows exactly what goes in, with timing and tips inline. Your screen stays awake.

03 / Discover

Recipes other cooks saved

Browse what people who cook like you have collected. Save anything that looks good to your own cookbook in one tap.

Three steps

From bookmark to dinner.

01

Save it

A URL from anywhere, a photo of a cookbook page, or a recipe you spotted in Discover.

02

Lima structures it

Ingredients grouped by phase, steps with timing, ingredients placed in the step that uses them.

03

Cook from it

A focused, hands-free view on any device. No ads, no scrolling, no looking for what comes next.
