Frequently asked questions
Where are my recipes stored?
In your own iCloud Drive, in iCloud Drive ▸ Kept ▸ Recipes, as plain-text Cooklang files. If iCloud is unavailable, Kept keeps them on your device and moves them to iCloud when it becomes available.
Why does recipe generation need Apple Intelligence?
Generating and importing recipes uses Apple's on-device models, so it requires a device with Apple Intelligence enabled. Nothing you write or import leaves your device.
How do I get my recipes out of Kept?
They were never locked in. Open the Recipes folder in the Files app — every recipe is a
.cook file you can copy, share, or edit with any text editor.
