# Do you have a CookBook desktop app for Windows or Mac?

| Quick answer: CookBook doesn’t have a standalone Windows or macOS installer. Instead, use the full-featured CookBook Web App in any modern browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge). One subscription covers web and mobile.

# Use CookBook on a computer

1. Open Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, or another up-to-date browser.
2. Go to [https://app.cookbookmanager.com/](https://app.cookbookmanager.com/).
3. Sign in with your existing CookBook login method (email, Apple SSO, Google SSO).
4. All mobile features - recipes, shopping lists, recipe scanner, planner, etc. are available on the larger screen.

|| Tip: **We recommend Chrome for the best performance and to enable the CookBook Chrome extension (one-click recipe imports).**


### Browser says "Unsupported"?
If Chrome or Firefox shows an *Unsupported / enable Service Workers* message:

* **Fix:** Turn on Service Workers (Chrome Flags or Firefox about:config) and reload the page.
* Full steps are in [Enable Service Workers for CookBook](https://help.cookbookmanager.com/en/article/enable-service-workers-for-cookbook-1l6wzbz/) if you need them.

### Optional: iPad version on Apple-silicon Macs

You **can** load the iPad build on an M1/M2 Mac:

1. Open **Mac App Store** → search **CookBook** → choose **iPhone & iPad Apps**.
2. Click **Get** and install, then sign in.

We however still recommend using the **CookBook Web App** at [app.cookbookmanager.com](https://app.cookbookmanager.com/) instead.
