Hi everyone, ![]()
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:
-
Cross-platform: Available natively for iOS, iPadOS, and Android. -
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. -
Easy Imports: Direct import from URLs using the server’s endpoint, with a local JSON-LD fallback. -
Secure: Connects directly to your instance using an App Password. -
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.

App Store (iOS/iPadOS): App Store - AvoCook -

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