How Otto works

  1. Painted illustration of Otto the otter chef at a kitchen table, gathering recipes from a web link, a photo and a video into one open cookbook.

    Every recipe you love — in one place

    Import from any site or video, or write your own — Otto keeps them all together.

  2. Painted illustration of Otto tasting from a pot at the stove, beside a ribbon of numbered cooking steps and a serving counter.

    Cook it right, every time

    Step-by-step cook mode, serving sizes that scale, and a nutrition estimate for every dish.

  3. Painted illustration of Otto beside a seven-day week board, the week's ingredients gathering into a market basket with a checklist.

    Plan the week, shop in one tap

    Plan your meals and Otto builds the shopping list for you.

Paste a link and Otto reads the page for you — then shows you what it found so you can correct it before saving. See how importing works
