Terms of use

Last updated 10 November 2026.

The licence

Cookfile is licensed to you under Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the standard EULA). The points below add to it; where they differ, the standard EULA applies.

What Cookfile is, and is not

• Cookfile is a recipe app. It copies a recipe from a web page, a picture, pasted text or another app's file, and keeps it on your iPhone.
• Cookfile copies what the source shows and may make mistakes. Reading a page, a photo or handwriting can drop a line, misread an amount or split a step in the wrong place. Check amounts, allergens and cooking times against the source before you cook, especially if anyone eating has an allergy.
• Scaling changes the amounts in the ingredients list. Cookfile tells you to check anything in brackets and the method, which it does not rewrite. A scaled recipe may not suit every dish.
• Cookfile is not dietary, medical or food-safety advice.

Recipes you save

• You are responsible for respecting the copyright in recipes you save, and for how you use, share or export them.
• Cookfile keeps recipes for your own use on your iPhone. Do not use it to publish or sell other people's recipes.
• Web pages you open in Cookfile are subject to the terms of the sites that run them.
• Your recipes are yours. You can export all of them at any time, free.

Cookfile Pro

The free version keeps up to 30 recipes and has every feature. Cookfile Pro is a one-time purchase made through the App Store. It removes the 30-recipe limit. Family Sharing is on. The price is shown in the App Store before you buy.
