Frequently asked questions

Dropsauce is a personal cookbook and recipe organizer for collecting, organizing, and revisiting the recipes you actually cook.

Dropsauce is for home cooks who collect recipes from different places and want one simple place to keep them organized. Whether you save recipes from Pinterest, websites, screenshots, PDFs, cookbooks or handwritten notes, Dropsauce helps you bring everything together in your own personal cookbook.

Dropsauce is designed to be your personal cookbook, not another recipe discovery or social media app. Instead of endless feeds, ads and recommendations, it gives you a calm, organized place to collect recipes from different sources, create your own, organize them into folders and keep your cooking notes. The focus is on the recipes you already love and making them easy to find whenever you want to cook.
