Handed Down
The card is the treasure. Scan the handwriting, keep the card forever, and share the whole box with your family.
What it does
The card is the hero
Scan front and back with your camera. The original handwriting stays the centerpiece of every recipe, not a discarded source.
On-device transcription
Text recognition reads the card right on your phone and drafts ingredients, steps, and the "From the kitchen of…" line for you to review.
A box for the whole family
Share a recipe box through your family’s own iCloud — sisters, cousins, kids. No accounts to create, no server of ours.
Cook mode
Screen stays awake, ingredients check off, quantities scale from ½× to 3× in kitchen fractions — and the original card is one tap away.
Cook with her hand
In cook mode, each step can show the strip of original handwriting above the typeset text.
Yours forever
Everything lives on your devices and your family’s iCloud. One-time purchase — no subscription holding your recipes.

Common questions:
- Is my family’s data private? Yes — there is no server. Cards and recipes live on your device and sync through your own family iCloud sharing.
- Is it a subscription? No. Handed Down is a one-time purchase.
- What happens to the original card? It stays. The scan remains the face of every recipe — the transcription is the companion, never the replacement.
