About CookCart
Built by someone who actually cooks
CookCart started as a personal project to solve a real problem: recipes scattered across browser tabs, screenshots, and scribbled index cards — with no good way to turn them into a grocery list.
The result is a focused Android app that handles the full cycle: finding a recipe, saving it, scanning the old ones from a recipe box, planning meals for the week, and getting to the store with one clean list. No subscription required for the core features.
CookCart is an independent app built and maintained by a solo developer. Questions or feedback? Reach out at btprogramming24@gmail.com.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about CookCart before downloading.
Is CookCart free?
Yes — CookCart is free to download and the core features are all free. Some advanced features are available through an optional subscription managed through Google Play. You never need a subscription to save recipes, scan cards, or use grocery lists.
How does recipe scanning work?
Point your camera at any recipe — a handwritten card, a cookbook page, a printed sheet. CookCart uses Google Cloud Vision to extract the text and saves it as a structured recipe in your account. Images are processed instantly and not stored by Google beyond the scan.
Is my data private?
Your recipes are private by default and only visible to you. We do not sell your data or use it for advertising. You can make individual recipes public if you want to share them. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Can I import recipes from websites?
Yes. Paste a URL from most recipe websites and CookCart will import the recipe automatically. You can also create recipes from scratch or scan them with your camera.
How do I sign in?
CookCart uses Google Sign-In — tap "Sign in with Google" and choose your Google account. No separate password is created. We only receive your name, email, and profile photo from Google.
How do I delete my account?
Go to Profile → Settings → Delete Account inside the app. This permanently deletes your account and all associated data from our servers within 30 days. The action cannot be undone.
