iwant2eat Help
iwant2eat keeps the recipes you actually cook — from websites, cooking videos, emails, screenshots and handwritten cards — in one private, searchable vault. Then it helps you cook them, plan the week and shop for them with your family.
Frequently asked questions
Is iwant2eat a place to find new recipes?
No — and that's the point. iwant2eat is a home for your recipes: the ones you've saved from websites, videos, emails, cookbooks and family cards. It doesn't search the internet for new ones; it makes the recipes you already have easy to find, cook, translate, plan and shop for. Start with Adding recipes.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Get the iwant2eat app for iPhone or Android, or simply open iwant2eat.com in any browser. Your recipes, meal plan and shopping list are the same on every device you sign in to. See Apps, widget & extension.
What happens when my free trial ends?
Nothing is deleted. Your recipes stay yours to open, cook from, edit, print and export — free, for as long as you like. You can still add one new recipe a week; a subscription brings back unlimited recipes and Ask AI.
How much does it cost?
Every account starts with a 14-day free trial with everything included — no card needed. After that it's $2.99 a month or $20 a year (about $1.67 a month), and one subscription covers your whole household. See Pricing.
How do I cancel?
The menu under your picture (top right) → Manage Subscription → Manage subscription opens the billing portal, where cancelling takes two clicks — no emails, no phone calls. Subscribed in the iPhone app? Cancel in your iPhone's Settings → your name → Subscriptions.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your recipes are visible only to you and the people you choose to share them with. Nothing is public unless you create a share link, nothing is indexed by search engines, and your recipes are never used to train AI models. See the privacy policy.
Can I get my recipes out?
Any time. Export the whole vault as one backup file, or print, save as PDF or Word, or email any single recipe. See Backups and your data.
Can my family use the same account?
Yes — invite up to five household members. Each signs in with their own email and shares your recipes, meal plan and shopping list, and you decide what each person may change. See Household members.
The AI got an amount or a step wrong. What now?
Open Original recipe text at the bottom of the recipe, correct it and choose Save and reprocess. The verbatim original is always kept, so nothing is ever lost. See Original text and reprocessing.
Which languages does it speak?
iwant2eat itself is available in 31 languages — switch in the menu under your picture. Recipes are kept in the language they were written in, and any recipe can be translated into yours with one tap. See Translate any recipe.
