Questions, answered
Where can I save recipes from?
Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and Pinterest, plus any recipe website. You can also snap a photo of a cookbook page or a handwritten card, or import a PDF or an export from another recipe app.
Is A La Carte free?
Yes. Use A La Carte for free: import up to five recipes a week, keep every recipe you save, and plan and shop from them. A La Carte Plus lifts the import limit and adds Cook Mode and our AI tools, with a free trial on the yearly plan.
Is it on iPhone and Android?
Both. The iOS beta runs through TestFlight and the Android beta through Google Play.
Can it handle allergies and dietary restrictions?
Yes. Set your allergies and dietary preferences once, and A La Carte checks every recipe you save against them, flags anything that conflicts, and with A La Carte Plus it can adapt a recipe to fit. Treat it as a second pair of eyes, not a replacement for reading labels.
Does it know what’s already in my pantry?
Yes. Add what’s on your shelves by hand, or scan them with your camera with A La Carte Plus, and A La Carte builds grocery lists around what you’re actually missing — and tells you when something is close to expiring.
Can I use it while I’m cooking?
Yes, with A La Carte Plus. Cook Mode walks you through one step at a time, with timers built into the steps that need them, so you can keep your hands free.
