What exactly is Butler?+
Butler is a recipe organizer and meal planning app that keeps your saved recipes, hundreds of healthy chef-tested recipes, flexible meal plans, grocery lists, and fridge & pantry inventory connected in one place.
Can’t any AI do what Butler does?+
A general AI can help with a single recipe or meal idea, but it does not give you Butler’s connected, lasting system. Butler remembers the recipes you save, what you like, seasonal favorites, meal plans, grocery lists, and what is already in your kitchen. It brings the power of new technology to your personal tastes in a way a standalone chat cannot.
Where can I save recipes from?+
Instagram, TikTok, websites, cookbooks, screenshots, photos, handwritten cards and more. Pretty much anywhere you have a recipe, you can bring it onto Butler. When source information is available, Butler preserves the original creator or social profile attribution and a link back to the source.
How does Butler respect recipe creators?+
Butler was built with creators in mind. It is designed for personal organization—not to plagiarize, claim, or republish someone else’s work. Saving a recipe is more like using the print function on a recipe card: it creates a personal copy for you to cook from while keeping the original creator attribution and source link when available.
Do I need to bring my own recipes?+
No. Butler includes hundreds of healthy, chef-tested recipes to get you started, and you can add the recipes you already love. The magic is having both in the same place.
Is this another rigid meal plan?+
Not even close. Plan one dinner, a weekly prep hour, a few meals, or the entire week. Save a plan you loved, repeat it, or change it whenever real life changes.
Can Butler work with allergies, preferences, and food goals?+
Yes. Optional preferences, allergies, dislikes, favorite cuisines, and goals help shape Butler’s suggestions and plans. Always review ingredients yourself when managing a serious allergy or medically necessary diet.
Does Butler order my groceries?+
Not yet. Today, Butler turns your plans into one automatically organized grocery list. Connected grocery checkout is part of what we’re building toward, and you can follow the direction on our What’s Ahead page.
How much does Butler cost?+
Butler is $49 per year after a 7-day free trial—less than $1 per week. It’s available for iPhone and Android, and you can cancel anytime in settings.
