Saving recipes
Both apps accept pasted text. In Guston you can also dictate ingredients and steps.
On ReciMe’s free plan, an import only counts when you save the recipe. ReciMe Plus removes the cap and costs $39.99 a year in the US.
Shopping and cooking
If two meals in your Guston meal plan need onions, Guston combines them into one shopping-list entry and adjusts the amount for the servings you’ve planned. ReciMe can sort your list by supermarket aisle or by recipe.
What else you can do in Guston
- Cook from recipes in another language. Translate the ingredients and steps into one of seven languages.
- Check what you’ll need before you start. When a recipe includes cookware, you can check off the pans and utensils alongside the ingredients.
- Run more than one timer. In cooking mode, start a timer for the oven, move to the next step and start another for the sauce. Both keep running when you leave the cooking screen.
Can I move my recipes from ReciMe to Guston?
There’s no bulk transfer. If you still have the original post or recipe link, import it in Guston. For recipes you wrote yourself, copy the recipe text into Guston.
