Marigold — Recipe App with LLM Drafting

The Problem

Recipe management is scattered across bookmarks, apps, screenshots, and browser tabs. There was no single app that could import recipes from any URL, draft new ones from a prompt, and walk you step-by-step through cooking — all with your own library synced across devices.

The Solution

A full React Native app on Expo, running on iOS and Android. Recipe drafting via LLM from a prompt, web scraping to import recipes from any URL, Firebase Firestore for real-time cross-device sync, and a dedicated cook mode that walks users through each step without distraction. Currently being refreshed under the name Marigold — the existing Play Store listing still resolves under the previous name during the transition.
