Categories, filled in for you
New recipes are filed into a category with a matching icon as you save them.
Favorites
The ones you love, one tap away.
Heart any recipe and it waits in Favorites. Combine Favorites with a pinned tag like Weeknight, and you’re down to the five dinners everyone actually eats.
Pinned tags & filters
Pin what you reach for.
Pinned tags sit across the top of your library as one-tap filters. Need more? Narrow by any category or tag, then sort what’s left.
Tidy without the chore.
Your own categories
Add the ones your kitchen needs: Sourdough, Holiday, Grandma’s.
Tag suggestions
Start typing and Kept offers the tags you already use, so “weeknight” and “Weeknight” never split.
Rename or merge, with Undo
Fold “Dinner” into “Weeknight” across every recipe at once, and take it back if you change your mind.
Search everything
Find any recipe in your whole collection, instantly.
Group and sort
Group your library by category, or browse what’s most recent and most cooked.
Portable by default
Your tags live in the file.
Kept writes each recipe’s category, tags and favorite into the top of its own file, not a hidden database. Copy it anywhere and its organization goes with it.
Organizing, answered.
What’s the difference between a category and a tag?
Each recipe has one category, like Dessert or Breakfast, with a matching icon. Tags are as many labels as you like: Weeknight, Kid-friendly, Freezer-friendly.
Can I undo a merge or rename?
Yes. Bulk edits to tags and categories can be undone.
Do I need Kept 1.3 on every device?
Yes, update every device that shares your library. Older versions can’t show Favorites or pinned tags, and a device still on 1.2 can replace a custom category with a built-in one when it syncs. Kept 1.3 requires iOS 27, iPadOS 27 or macOS 27.
Every recipe, finally together.
