Halite turns your recipes into a collaborative, living collection. Paste a link from a blog, Reddit, or Substack and it pulls out the ingredients, steps, servings, and a photo in seconds. Drop in a YouTube or TikTok link and it reads the transcript to recover the recipe from the video. You can also photograph a cookbook page or handwritten card, or bring your whole library over from another app.
• Import from Paprika, Mela, Crouton, Cooklang, and RecetteTek / My Recipe Box — anything else falls back to an AI reader that handles text, HTML, JSON, and screenshots.
• No link? Describe the dish — "high-protein peanut soba for two" — and Halite writes the recipe, nutrition included.
• Ask in plain English. "Make it dairy-free" rewrites the ingredients, and every change saves as a version you can roll back.
• Connect it to Claude and ask about or edit your whole library from inside Claude.
• Drag the slider to cook for 12 instead of 4. Every quantity rescales as you drag, and stays readable: ¾ cup, not 0.75 cups.
• Cook mode: big touch targets, the screen stays awake, nothing else in the way.
• One grocery list for the whole menu, sorted by supermarket aisle.
• Pantry that checks things off your list you keep on hand.
• 12 allergens flagged automatically, with a filter that hides anything unsafe across your whole library.
• Highlight any of 13 nutrition metrics on every card — calories per gram of protein, glycemic load, net carbs, fiber, sodium.
• Share a recipe, a collection, or cook together — collaborators with roles, public links, full version history.
• Runs in any browser. Installs to your home screen on iOS and Android, or your dock on Mac, Windows, and Linux. No app store.
Free during the beta, with a free tier that stays. Paid tiers for power users come later.
