Frequently asked questions
Is OAlquimista free?
Yes — in the current version, all features (catalog, Cook Mode, import, shopping list, and meal planner) are free.
Do my recipes stay saved if I switch phones?
Yes, as long as iCloud sync is enabled. Your recipes live in your own personal iCloud, not on OAlquimista servers.
How does intelligent import work?
Paste a recipe website link, use the camera to scan a book, import a PDF, or paste text. OAlquimista uses on-device Apple Intelligence to automatically extract ingredients and steps. Always review the result before saving.
Does it work on iPad and Mac?
Yes, it's a universal app for iPhone and iPad, and it also runs on Mac via Catalyst.
How do I delete my account and data?
OAlquimista has no account or server of its own — there's nothing to delete on our end. To erase everything, just remove the app: touch and hold the icon and choose "Remove App." This immediately deletes all locally stored data.
