# Keep the Sauce > Keep the Sauce is a family recipe box app for iPhone, iPad and Android, made by MiRa Ventures, Inc. (Chelan, Washington, USA). It saves recipes from any website, Pinterest pins, Instagram reels, TikTok videos and photos of handwritten recipe cards as full copies that can't disappear, then helps families cook, plan the week and shop from one aisle-sorted list. The app costs $4.99 once. There are no ads. ## Key facts - App price: $4.99 one-time purchase on the Apple App Store (iPhone and iPad) and Google Play (Android). - Family plan (optional): $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year, with a 1-month free trial. Only the person who shares the recipe box pays; invited household members get Family at no extra cost. Inviting members requires Family. - Founding Families: the first 100 households get 60 days of Family free, added automatically. It never turns into a charge on its own. - Without a subscription the app keeps working forever on one device (scanning, importing, cook mode, scaling, menu, shopping list, household profiles). Family adds sharing, sync across devices and the web, a live shared shopping list, AI recipe reading for photos and cookbook pages, the web recipe box, cloud photo storage and backups. - Household member profiles (every user): add the people you cook for, with a protein target per meal (in cooked weight, converted into how much raw protein to buy) and allergy flags (peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, fish, dairy, eggs, gluten/wheat, soy, sesame, or custom). - Allergy warnings appear on recipes and on every step in cook mode. Cook mode also shows convection oven and air fryer hints. - Imports: recipe website links, Pinterest pins and boards, Instagram reels, TikTok and other videos, ChatGPT and Gemini recipes, photos of printed or handwritten cards, cookbook pages, PDFs and screenshots. - Export anytime: ZIP with a printable PDF cookbook, a Paprika file and a schema.org recipe file. - Privacy: no ads, no third-party advertising or analytics SDKs, data is not sold. Payments are handled by Apple or Google. - Delete your account anytime in the app (Family > Delete account) or at https://keepthesauce.com/delete-account - Origin: built by Michael and Raichelle Wallace after the family lost years of saved Pinterest recipes to dead links. - Support: https://keepthesauce.com/support (contact form) or hello@keepthesauce.com ## Download - [App Store (iPhone and iPad)](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/keep-the-sauce/id6821432850) - [Google Play (Android)](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.innoscale.keepthesauce) ## Social - [X](https://x.com/keepthesauceapp) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/keepthesauceapp/) - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61596341271354) - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@keepthesauceapp) - [Pinterest](https://www.pinterest.com/keepthesauceapp/) ## Pages - [Home](https://keepthesauce.com/): features, screenshots and pricing - [FAQ](https://keepthesauce.com/faq): pricing, Family, free trial, protein targets, allergies, Android, importing, privacy, account deletion - [Support and contact](https://keepthesauce.com/support) - [Blog](https://keepthesauce.com/blog) - [Halloween recipes](https://keepthesauce.com/blog/halloween-family-recipes): mummy dogs, spider deviled eggs, pumpkin chili, monster cookies - [Make-Ahead Pumpkin Pie (Bake It 1–2 Days Before Thanksgiving)](https://keepthesauce.com/blog/make-ahead-pumpkin-pie): A classic pumpkin pie you bake a day or two before Thanksgiving, so the custard sets and every slice comes out clean.
