[New App] AvoCook – A modern, offline-first mobile client for Cookbook (iOS & Android)

Hi everyone, :waving_hand:

I’ve been using the Nextcloud Cookbook app for a while and absolutely love it. However, I noticed that the existing mobile clients haven’t been updated in a long time or were missing some features I needed, especially regarding offline usage.

So, I decided to build my own! It’s called AvoCook. It’s fully open-source and built with Expo / React Native.

Main features:

  • :mobile_phone: Cross-platform: Available natively for iOS, iPadOS, and Android.

  • :rocket: True Offline Mode: Recipes and images are cached using local SQLite. You can even create or edit recipes while offline; they go into a sync queue and will be pushed to the server once you reconnect.

  • :avocado: Easy Imports: Direct import from URLs using the server’s endpoint, with a local JSON-LD fallback.

  • :locked: Secure: Connects directly to your instance using an App Password.

  • :artist_palette: Modern UI: Glassmorphism on iOS, clean Material design on Android, with Dark/Light modes.

The app has just been merged into the official Cookbook README, but I wanted to share it directly with this community.

I would love to hear your feedback, bug reports, or feature requests. Thanks to the Nextcloud Cookbook team for their amazing API!
