Native Android · Material You
The recipe app Android deserves.
Sorrel saves a recipe from anywhere — a website, a TikTok, a YouTube video, even a photo of a card — then plans your week, sorts the grocery list the way your store is laid out, and cooks from a screen built for the kitchen. No ads, no account needed, and free to start.

“A typical app” is the common shape of a free recipe keeper on Android: web import, a list, a plan — often with ads, an account wall, or a cap on recipes. Sorrel is free where those charge, and keeps its servers for the hard parts.
Built for Android, not ported to it.
Sorrel is a native Android app that speaks Material You: dynamic colour from your wallpaper, a home-screen “what's for dinner?” widget, cook timers that keep counting on your lock screen, and share-sheet saving from any app. It feels like it belongs on your phone because it was made for it.

Questions
Is Sorrel really free?
The everyday app is free forever, with no cap on your library and no ads: web import, meal planning, aisle-sorted groceries, the cook journal, collections, export and Paprika import. Sorrel Pro adds the parts that need servers — video import, scanning, sync and household sharing.
Does it work without an account or a signal?
Yes. Sorrel works offline and needs no account unless you turn on sync to share your library across your phones or with your household. Your recipes live on your phone.
Can I bring my recipes from another app?
Yes — Sorrel imports from Paprika and ReciMe in one tap, keeping photos, notes and ratings, and it saves from any recipe website. Your cookbook doesn't start from scratch.
What makes it good for Android specifically?
It's a native Android app, not a wrapper: Material You colour, a home-screen widget, share-sheet saving from any app, and lock-screen cook timers. It behaves the way an Android app should.
Is there an iPhone version?
Android today, with iPhone on the way — including households that span both platforms. If you cook with someone on iPhone, that is coming.
Dinner's waiting.
