Why we built Guston

Cooking from a saved video can mean pausing for the quantities, writing a shopping list in Notes, and rewinding to see when the onions go in. We built Guston to put the ingredients, shopping list and steps in one place.

Guston first shipped on iPhone and iPad in April 2026.

From a link to a recipe

Share a video from Instagram, TikTok or YouTube to Guston and save the ingredients and steps as a recipe. If it’s a recipe you know by heart, you can dictate it instead.

If the recipe is in another language, you can translate it in Guston and switch back to the original whenever you need it.

From a recipe to dinner

Pick a recipe, set the servings and add what you need to the shopping list. When you’re ready to cook, follow the steps in Guston and start a timer from the step that needs it. If you’re planning several meals, the Planner guide shows how to make one list for the week.

If there’s a recipe you keep meaning to make, start with that one.
