Use the Web App instead
The desktop app runs on Windows only. The Web App works in any browser, on any device. It is also where all new development happens: more accurate calculations, more detail and a modern design.
Moving over
Bring your recipes to the Web App
Import your desktop recipes and ingredients into the Web App in a few steps.
Your recipes stay safe
Moving to the cloud shouldn't mean worrying about your work. In the Web App you can always take a copy of your recipes with you.
Download all your data
Download everything in your account as one data file whenever you like, on every plan.
Backup to Excel
PremiumDownload all your recipes, ingredients and charts as Excel files whenever you like: a readable copy to keep (it can't be imported back).
Copy to the desktop app
PremiumCreate a database file for the desktop app with your recipes, ingredients and charts. It opens as a separate database, so your existing desktop data stays untouched.
Version history
PremiumWhen you change a recipe's ingredients, the previous version is saved, so you can look back at what you had.
Hosted on Microsoft Azure
The Web App runs on Microsoft Azure in Western Europe. Its database is backed up automatically: it can be restored to any point in the last 14 days, and long-term backups are kept for up to five years.
