How can we help you cook today?

1. Contact Support Directly

Need help with a recipe import, a subscription question, or a feature request? Reach out directly and we typically respond within 24 hours:

2. Importing from Websites, Social Media & Photos

Tap the floating + button on the Home tab and choose Add a Recipe:

• 📸 Scan a Photo: Take a well-lit photo of a printed cookbook page or handwritten index card, or select an existing photo from your library. Make sure all ingredients and instructions are clearly visible in the frame.
• 🌐 Website Link: Copy any recipe blog URL in Safari or Chrome, then tap Website Link in Recipe Zero to strip away ads and life stories automatically.
• 📱 Social Media: Copy the post link or caption from Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, or Facebook and paste it into the Social Media importer.

3. Hands-Free Voice Cook Stand & Timers

Open any recipe and tap Start Hands-Free Cooking Stand at the bottom of the page:

• Voice Commands: Tap the microphone button to enable hands-free listening, then say “Next”, “Back”, “Repeat”, “Ingredients”, or “Timer”.
• Screen Wake-Lock: While Cook Mode is open, Recipe Zero keeps your display awake so your screen never dims while your hands are busy.
• Multi-Timers & iOS Reminders: Tap any highlighted time chip inside a step to start a countdown timer in the bottom dock, or tap + iOS Alert to send long marinades and dough proofs to Apple Reminders.

4. Backing Up & Moving Your Cookbook to a New Device

Because Recipe Zero stores your cookbook privately on your device, we make it effortless to back up or transfer your collection:

1. Open the Profile tab and tap Backup & Restore.
2. Tap Save Backup to export a complete recipe-zero-backup-YYYY-MM-DD.json file to iCloud Drive, Files, or AirDrop.
3. To restore on any device, open Profile → Backup & Restore → Restore from Backup and tap 📂 Select Backup File.

5. Managing or Restoring Chef Pro Subscriptions

• Restore Purchases on a New iPhone or iPad: Open Profile → My Plan (or open the Chef Pro upgrade sheet) and tap Restore Purchases while signed in with the same Apple ID.
• Manage or Cancel Subscription: Apple manages all billing directly. Open the iOS Settings app → tap [Your Name / Apple ID] → tap Subscriptions → select Recipe Zero to switch plans or cancel at any time.
