Storage, Syncing and the Cloud ☁️
How we store your recipes, online, offline and syncing across devices
Storage
Where and how are my recipes stored?
Every recipe is saved locally on your phone or tablet for offline cooking and also backed up to CookBook’s encrypted cloud. That cloud copy keeps all your devices - iOS, Android, and the Web App in sync.

How many recipes can I have in my CookBook App?
With a paid Monthly or Yearly plan, you can store unlimited recipes. The free tier lets you save up to 20 recipes before asking you to choose a plan.

How much space do I need on my phone for CookBook?
The CookBook app download is under 150 MB. After that, storage grows mainly with the photos you attach to recipes. Most users stay under 300 MB, even with hundreds of recipes because text is tiny and images are compressed.

Syncing & the Cloud
What will sync across my devices?
Everything that matters - recipes, tags, planner entries, shopping lists, and most settings are stored in CookBook’s encrypted cloud and automatically appears on every device you sign in with.

Can I use CookBook without an internet connection?
Yes - on the iOS and Android apps you can view any recipe that has already synced to your device. You can’t add or edit recipes, update the meal planner, or use AI/import features until you’re back online. The Web App always requires an internet connection.
