What Ciboo is
Ciboo is an Android and iOS app for collecting recipes, planning meals, and preparing grocery lists. It can turn recipe links, videos, photos, pasted text, or a description into structured recipes, which users can edit—including titles, ingredients, amounts, steps, and photos. Import sources include recipe sites and blogs, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook videos. Users can place recipes on days in a weekly calendar; Ciboo then creates one aisle-sorted shopping list from planned meals and combines quantities. An account is required, with sign-up by email and password, Google, or Sign in with Apple. Recipes, plans, and lists are stored in that account. Previously opened recipes can be read from the device cache offline, but AI features and syncing require internet access. The app is available in English and Russian, and recipe import can read other languages. The Free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited recipe saving, meal planning, and shopping lists, plus 5 AI recipe imports every 7 days and 10 chat turns a day.
