# The Cooklang project describes a tiny markup for recipes. We built a reader that syncs .cook files from a private GitHub repo and shows big type for steps, with ingredients pulled from @mentions in the file.
--- example: sourdough.cook (abbrev.) ---
>> shopping
@flour{%g} {500%g}
@water{%l} {0.35%l}
// Pantry turns this into a grocery checklist and a step list. Timer buttons map to -- lines in the full file.
No social feed, no photos required. A home cook in Minneapolis has 41 family recipes in a private repo; Pantry is the PWA on the counter. Another user keeps a /recipes folder in Dropbox and points the macOS helper at it.
"I already wrote my recipes in Cooklang for version control. I just needed the phone UI to not feel like a Git client." Nikhil, software engineer, bakes on Sundays
TestFlight (iOS) and sideload (Android) open in Q2. We charge $8/year to cover sync workers, not to rent your recipes.
