Ember, the cookbook that stays open at the stove
An iPhone cookbook that imports recipes from links, photos, PDFs, reels, and handwritten pages, then turns them into a hands-free cooking mode.
Field notes
Ember describes an import pipeline for links, screenshots, PDFs, reels, and photographed pages, with extraction performed on the phone. Its cooking view uses one step per screen, voice questions, palm gestures, and a display intended to remain readable from one metre away. The site also emphasizes provenance: a handwritten quantity that may have been misread is flagged for review, while a missing method is disclosed rather than filled in automatically.
