Recipe Box
A private recipe box in one HTML file on your machine: no account, no cloud, no server to talk to.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here: go on, put something in it.
Forged into a knife, this tool ages with use: the blades you reach for wear soft, entries you tend keep their bloom, and the years travel with the file through every reforge.
The good recipes are scattered — one in a screenshot, one on a stained index card, one in a text from your aunt that you will never find again. The Recipe Box gathers them into one quiet place: the recipe, a tag so you can find it, and the ingredients and method written out in full.

Standing facts
- One HTML file. Opens in any modern browser, on any operating system.
- No account. No login, no sign-up, no e-mail wall.
- No cloud. Nothing leaves your browser: no server, no telemetry, no analytics.
- Yours forever. The file keeps working whether or not Offline.Ltd does.
- Ages with use. Entries you tend keep their bloom; the years travel with the file through every reforge.
In ten years
Whatever you put in (Recipe, Tag and Ingredients & method) stays inside the file itself. There is no account to lapse, no plan to be sunset, no migration e-mail with a deadline in it. A decade of recipe box entries is a decade of your own handwriting, kept in a document you can back up like any other.
If Offline.Ltd closes tomorrow, nothing on your machine notices. That isn't a marketing promise; it's simply what a file is.
Getting your data out
Export to CSV from inside the tool and open it in anything: a spreadsheet, another app, a text editor. Or keep the HTML file: it is plain, readable, and inspectable; you can open it in a text editor and see your own rows sitting there. No export queue, no "we'll e-mail you a link within 48 hours", no format that only one vendor can read.
Copy the file to a USB stick, a NAS, a folder your devices already sync. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, online or off, because a browser is the only thing it ever needed.
Who else sees this
Nobody. Your Recipe, Tag and Ingredients & method never leave the file on your own disk. There is no account, no telemetry, no analytics, and no code in the file that opens a network connection, pull the cable and watch it carry on working. How privacy works across the Hobby tools →
Questions people ask
How can I store my recipes digitally without a recipe app?
You type each recipe in once — name, a tag like "weeknight" or "grandma", then the ingredients and method in a big text box. That's the whole system, and it's enough.
Do my recipes stay private, or are they uploaded somewhere?
They stay with you. The Recipe Box is one HTML file that runs entirely in your browser, offline. Nothing leaves the page, there's no account, and your aunt's secret is safe.
Can I search or organize recipes by category?
That's what the tag field is for. Give each recipe a word or two — soup, bread, birthday — and you can pull up the right shelf of the box when you need it.
