A shared family library
One private cookbook for the whole family. Add a recipe on your phone and it shows up on everyone else's instantly — no exports, no group chats, no lost screenshots.
Your family's recipes, in one place.
Boxtro Kitchen is a private cookbook your whole family shares. Add the recipes you actually cook, plan the week together, and pull them up on the counter when it's time to eat — all in sync, on every device.
Built around how families actually cook
Scan a paper recipe
Point your camera at a card from grandma or a torn-out magazine page. Boxtro reads the text, then pulls out the title, ingredients, and steps so you can save it cleanly.
Cook mode
Turn your phone sideways and Boxtro switches into a landscape split view: ingredients on one side, steps on the other, large type, and the screen stays awake while you work.
Personal favorites
Everyone in the family marks their own favorites. The library is shared; your shortlist is yours.
Sign in your way
Sign in with Apple on iPhone, Google on Android, or use your email and a one-time code on either. Unlock the app with Face ID, Touch ID, or fingerprint — no password to remember if you don't want one.
Weekly meal planning & shopping lists
Coming soon. Drag recipes onto the week, and Boxtro turns the plan into a shopping list everyone can check off together in real time.
See it in action
The moments that matter most in the kitchen.
Cook mode
Built for the counter, not the couch.
Cook mode is always landscape — phone propped up, ingredients on one side, steps on the other, big type you can read across the kitchen, and the screen stays awake while your hands are covered in flour.

Plan the week together Coming soon
Drag this week's recipes onto a shared calendar. Boxtro turns the plan into a shopping list everyone can check off together in real time at the store — no more "did you grab the garlic?" texts.
