Your local workspace

Meal plans, household names, portions and pantry quantities stay in this browser. Only recipe text you explicitly submit to AI assist is sent to our server and Azure for processing. Do not include sensitive personal information in recipe text. Local storage is not a backup. Browser clearing or device loss can remove your workspace; use the available export tools for anything you need to keep.

AI processing

AI assist is optional. Submitted text is sent through our server to Microsoft Azure OpenAI to create a draft. We do not save those inputs or generated drafts in the application database. Azure processes requests under its own service terms. Our application disables model-response storage, but this does not override the provider's abuse-monitoring obligations.

Payments

Paid checkout is not available yet, so this service is not currently collecting billing details or creating billing records.

Service operations

We keep daily, pseudonymous usage counters to limit abuse and costs. Error monitoring sends sanitized technical diagnostics to Sentry; request text, cookies and personal inputs are removed. Hosting providers may retain routine access logs. Public pages use our own Umami analytics instance to count visits without cookies. App workspaces and checkout pages are excluded; query strings and private referrer details are removed. We do not sell your workspace data or use it for advertising profiles.

Referral links

If you arrive through an affiliate link, a first-party referral cookie remembers its code for up to 60 days. A later Stripe checkout can include that code so the referring partner can receive credit. It contains no workspace content. You can remove it through your browser settings.

Your choices

You can use the core tool without AI. Clear local data using the app or your browser settings. Contact us with privacy questions about server records. The service is intended for adults.
