It reads videos
Share a TikTok, an Instagram Reel or a YouTube video and Sorrel writes it up as a recipe — caption, audio, then the frames. The recipes people actually post now stop being ones you can't save.
Made for Android, not ported to it
A Paprika alternative that's actually moving.
Sorrel brings your Paprika library across in one tap — photos, notes and ratings intact — then keeps going where Paprika's Android app has stalled: video import, recipe scanning, live household sharing, meal plans that arrange themselves, and a design that looks like it belongs on your phone.
Free to start · One-tap Paprika import · No ads, ever
- Reading your export
- Bringing over 214 recipes
- Photos, notes & ratings intact
A preview of the real thing — nothing leaves this page.
What Sorrel does that you've been missing
It shares, live
Start a household and everyone cooks from one cookbook and one grocery list, updating in real time — check off the milk in the store and it vanishes from the phone at home. Only the owner needs Pro.
It plans the week
Drop recipes onto the week, or let Sorrel arrange it from your own library, and send the whole plan to an aisle-sorted grocery list in a tap. A home-screen widget answers “what's for dinner?” before anyone asks.
Young, and shipping fast.
Paprika's Android app got two bugfixes in all of 2025. Sorrel is new and moving quickly — video import, sync, live household sharing, lock-screen cook timers, multi-page scanning and self-arranging meal plans have all landed in the past few months — and it brings your Paprika recipes over in one tap, so trying it costs you nothing but the export.
The things that made you keep Paprika
Your library is yours
Works offline, no account required, and exports any time — Sorrel format, Paprika format, PDF, or one backup file. You are never locked in; that is the whole promise of moving.
No ads, no tracking
No advertising, no analytics SDKs, no selling your data. A few features use Sorrel's own server, and the privacy policy names each one in plain words.
Free where it counts
Your library, web import, planning, groceries, the cook journal, export and backup are free forever. One subscription unlocks the parts that need Sorrel's servers — video, scanning, sync and sharing.

Questions
Will my Paprika recipes really come across cleanly?
Yes — Sorrel reads Paprika's own export file directly and keeps titles, ingredients, steps, times, categories, source links, photos, your notes and your ratings. Nothing is retyped, and the cook journal you built comes with you.
Is Sorrel on iPhone?
Android today, with iPhone coming — and a household that spans both is part of the plan. If you cook with someone on an iPhone, that is worth knowing before you switch.
What does it cost?
Free to start, with no cap on your library and no ads. Sorrel Pro — monthly or annual, with a free trial on the annual plan — adds video import, scanning, sync across your phones, and household sharing. Prices are shown in the app in your own currency.
Can I go back if I don't like it?
Any time. Sorrel exports to Paprika's own format among others, so your library is always portable. Importing here is not a one-way door.
How is it different from Paprika day to day?
The everyday cookbook feels familiar — recipes, categories, a grocery list, cook mode. The difference is what's added: saving from videos, scanning cards, a grocery list that sorts itself by aisle, meal plans that fill themselves, and a shared cookbook that updates live for everyone in the house.
Keep the recipes. Change the app.
