Everything you need for cooking and for keeping recipes in order

Cuvio focuses on what you actually use while cooking: clear recipes, fast search and practical tools without needless distraction.

Serving rescaling

Just change the number of servings and Cuvio adjusts the ingredient amounts automatically. The original recipe stays unchanged.

Categories with emoji

Sort your recipes into ready-made and custom categories. Each one can be renamed and given an emoji for quick orientation.

Tags

Label recipes by cuisine, difficulty or dietary restrictions, for example. Tags make filtering and later searching easier.

Search and filters

Search by name and filter by category, tags, favorites or preparation time. Recipes can be sorted by name, by date and by how long they take.

Photos on recipes

Add a picture from your photo library or take one right in the app. Photos are optimized so your cookbook doesn't take up more space than it needs to.

Sharing

Send a recipe as clear text in a message or an email. Or share it as a Cuvio file, photo, ingredients and tags included.

Import from the web

Paste a link to a recipe and Cuvio prepares the name, ingredients, instructions and any available photo for you to review. You can edit everything before saving; the link to the original source stays with the recipe.

iCloud syncing PRO

With syncing in Cuvio Pro your recipes are on every device signed in to the same Apple Account. Without creating another account and without moving anything by hand.

PDF export and printing PRO

Print any recipe or save it as a PDF. It’s ideal for your own cookbook, sharing with family, or anyone who doesn’t use Cuvio. PDF export and printing are included with Cuvio Pro.

Cuvio Pro

Cuvio Pro unlocks all app features with a one-time purchase — no subscription required. It includes iCloud sync, PDF export and printing, app colors, alternative app icons, and removes the limits of the free version.

Make Cuvio your own

Choose one of seven app colors. Your selected color is used throughout the app and in exported PDF recipes. Matching Home Screen icons are also included with Cuvio Pro.

Designed for iPhone and iPad

A clear interface, large typography and support for both light and dark mode. Cuvio adapts to your device and to the way you cook.

  • When sharing, you can send the recipe with the serving count you have selected.

One screen to write a recipe

Enter the title, category, time, servings, tags, photo, ingredients and instructions in a single form. Ingredients are added line by line and reordered by dragging.

  • Amounts accept both a decimal point and a comma, for example 1.5 tbsp.
  • If you close the form with unsaved changes, the app asks before discarding them.
  • Set your default serving count once and every new recipe starts with it.

Privacy

Your recipes stay yours

Cuvio does not run a server of its own for storing recipes. Your data stays on your device. With Cuvio Pro, recipes sync across devices signed in to the same Apple Account, and synced copies are stored in the private iCloud database of your Apple Account.

You do not create a Cuvio account, and the app contains no advertising and no third-party analytics tools. Access to synced data is protected by the security of your Apple Account.

Private iCloud. Synced data is stored in the private iCloud database of your Apple Account.

No ads. No ads interrupt you while you cook.

Works offline too. You can edit recipes without a connection. With Cuvio Pro, changes sync once your device is back online.

Export any time. Export your cookbook to a Cuvio file whenever you need it.

Export and transfer

The whole cookbook in one file

Export creates a single .cuvio file with all your recipes, categories, tags and photos. Use it as a personal archive, to move to a new device, or to share with another Cuvio user.

Import first shows a summary of the planned changes. Recipes that exist both in the app and in the imported file are updated from the file; all other recipes stay unchanged.

The .cuvio format is documented JSON, so you can access your data outside the app, too.

Recipes can be written on a computer, too

Open an exported file in the builder, edit your recipes on a full-size keyboard and download them again as a file for your phone. You can also start a new cookbook from scratch there. It all runs in your browser — nothing is ever uploaded.

Recipes that exist in both the app and the imported file will be updated from the file. All other recipes will remain unchanged.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account or a login?

No. Cuvio does not require an account of its own. Syncing in Cuvio Pro uses the Apple Account you are already signed in to on your device.

What’s included in Cuvio Pro?

Cuvio Pro includes iCloud sync, PDF export and printing, app colors, alternative app icons, and removes the limits of the free version.

Is Cuvio Pro a subscription?

No. Cuvio Pro is a one-time purchase.

How do I print a recipe?

Open a recipe and choose PDF export or Print from the more actions menu. Both features are included with Cuvio Pro.

How does syncing work, and how is my data protected?

Syncing is part of Cuvio Pro. Recipes are stored in the private iCloud database of your Apple Account and appear on devices signed in to the same account. Access is protected by the security of your Apple Account; the developer cannot access data stored in a user's private iCloud database. Without Cuvio Pro, recipes stay on the device and you move them by export, which is always free.

What happens when I move to a new phone?

With syncing in Cuvio Pro, your recipes are restored from iCloud once you install the app and sign in to the same Apple Account. Without syncing you move them by exporting and then importing a .cuvio file.

Can I send a recipe to someone who doesn't have the app?

Yes. Sharing as text produces a readable recipe for a message or an email. Sharing as a .cuvio file is meant for another Cuvio user, who imports the recipe with its photo.

Which languages and devices are supported?

English and Czech, on iPhone and iPad with iOS 18 or later. Language and appearance follow your system settings, or you can switch both inside the app.

Keep your cookbook close at hand

Recipes from your notes, your photos and links from the web all end up in one clear place — ready for the next time you cook.
