Quick answer: A CookBook account keeps your recipes private, backs them up in the cloud, and lets you open the same collection on every phone, tablet, or computer you own
Why an account is required
- Privacy and security - Only you can see or edit the recipes saved under your login.
- Cloud backup - Your recipes are stored safely on CookBook’s servers, so nothing is lost if you lose or replace a device.
- Sync across devices - Sign in once on each phone, tablet, or computer and you’ll always see the same recipes, shopping lists, and meal planner.
- Personal settings - Theme, language, and other preferences follow your account, not just the device.
Subscription management - Free-trial limits and paid plans are tied to your account, so one subscription unlocks all platforms.
