Spread is a digital recipe book for saving recipes from websites, apps, videos with recipe captions, or photos of printed pages. It extracts ingredients, steps, images, timings, and servings, and keeps a link back to the source page. The cooking view uses large steps and built-in timers, and the app can read recipes in English and nine other languages. Spread is free for up to 25 recipes. Spread Pro removes that limit, adds Apple Intelligence import on supported devices, and syncs recipes across iPhone and iPad through the user's iCloud. The developer says recipes remain on the device or in the user's iCloud, with anonymous usage statistics that can be turned off. Pro is available monthly, yearly with a free trial, or as a lifetime purchase; captured pricing was not stated. This is a focused option for cooks who want to collect and use recipes without an account.
