Flourhands

Most recipes are written to be read. Flourhands is built to be cooked from — one step at a time, in type big enough to read from across the counter, with your hands covered in flour. Open a recipe, press Cook, and the app goes full screen. Swipe for the next step. The amounts are written into the instructions themselves, and they scale to the number of people you're feeding, so you never do the arithmetic twice. Pull the ingredient list down from the top whenever you want to check it. The screen stays awake while you work. WHEN A RECIPE ASKS YOU TO WAIT Steps with a time on them get a countdown ring and, if you want one, a notification when it's up — so you can walk out of the kitchen. Long waits are handled differently. A rise, a marinade, an overnight chill hands you off with "See you in 8 hours", schedules a wake-up, and closes. Tapping that notification puts you back on exactly the step you left. BRING YOUR OWN RECIPES Three ways in: • Scan — photograph a cookbook page, a recipe card or a handwritten note, or pick a photo you already have. • Paste a link — Flourhands reads the page and lays the recipe out. • Start from scratch — a blank form and your own instincts. Scanned and pasted recipes come back as a draft: title, servings, times, ingredients with amounts, and steps. You read it over, fix anything that came out wrong, and save. Recipes you add stay private — yours and your household's, nobody else's. A SHELF TO BROWSE Home holds a small, hand-picked collection of published recipes — weeknight dinners, baking, slow and passive projects, vegetarian — with search, categories, and a pick for tonight up top. You can browse it without an account. COOKING TOGETHER A household is a small invite-only group. Send a link; whoever joins shares a shelf and a feed of who cooked what, and how they rated it. Leave whenever you like.

No marketing.
