Hungrrry

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything about how Hungrrry works, what it does for home cooks, and how it treats recipe creators.

What is Hungrrry?

Hungrrry is a creator-friendly recipe discovery and cookbook platform. Swipe through recipe ideas to decide what to cook, save the ones you love from any URL, and organize them into personal, shared, or public digital cookbooks.

Is Hungrrry free to use?

Yes. Hungrrry is free to join — no subscription, no app store purchase. Sign up with email or Google and start swiping.

Do I need to download Hungrrry from the App Store?

No. Hungrrry is a Progressive Web App. Open hungrrry.app in your phone's browser and add it to your home screen, no app store install needed.

How do I add Hungrrry to my home screen?

On iPhone, open hungrrry.app in Safari, tap the Share button, then tap Add to Home Screen. On Android, open hungrrry.app in Chrome, tap the menu in the top-right, then tap Add to Home screen (or Install app).

What is swipe-based recipe discovery?

Instead of scrolling a feed, you see one recipe card at a time. Swipe right to save, swipe left to skip. Right swipes land in your Saved list so you can review them at your own pace. Hungrrry shows you more of what you save and less of what you don't.

Can I save recipes from websites?

Yes. Open or create a cookbook, tap Add, paste the recipe URL, and save. Food blogs, Pinterest, and YouTube auto-fill the title and thumbnail. Instagram and TikTok save as plain links you can name yourself. URL adds go straight into the cookbook you picked — they don't pass through Saved.

What's the difference between Saved and a cookbook?

Saved is the holding area for recipes you swipe right on in Discover — a shortlist of ideas to try. Cookbooks are for the recipes you've actually cooked and want to keep, plus any URL you add yourself. The two-step flow keeps your cookbooks focused on the food you know you love instead of becoming another wall of forgotten saves.

Can I organize recipes into cookbooks?

Yes. Open any recipe from your Saved list and move it into a cookbook you control. Build as many cookbooks as you like and organize them by theme, season, or whoever you cook for.

Can I share a cookbook with another user?

Yes. You can create a shared cookbook and privately share it with another user so you can build a recipe collection together.

What is the difference between personal, shared, and public cookbooks?

Personal cookbooks are private, only you can see them. Shared cookbooks are privately shared with another user you invite. Public cookbooks are listed on the Public cookbooks page so the Hungrrry community can browse and save them.

Does Hungrrry republish recipes from creators?

No. Hungrrry never republishes full recipes. Every saved recipe links straight back to the original creator's site, so credit and traffic stay with the people who made it.

I'm a recipe creator, what does Hungrrry do for me?

Hungrrry sends traffic to your site. When people save your recipe, the card shows your title and thumbnail and links directly to your URL. Anyone clicking through lands on your page, not ours.

Can recipe publishers opt out?

Yes. Publishers can request that their recipes be removed from Hungrrry at any time through our publisher opt-out page.

How is Hungrrry different from Pinterest?

Pinterest is an infinite feed of images. Hungrrry is a swipe deck with a yes/no decision and a structured cookbook. Saves go into named cookbooks you can find again, not a wall of pins.

How is Hungrrry different from a notes app?

Notes apps don't pull a recipe's title and thumbnail, don't sort by cookbook, and don't reliably link back to the publisher. Hungrrry is built specifically for the recipe-saving workflow.

Does Hungrrry have ads?

Hungrrry is designed to keep recipe discovery focused and easy to use. If ads are introduced in the future, they should not interrupt swiping or make recipes harder to review.
