Private recipes
Switch a recipe to private and only you can see it. It stays off your profile and out of your followers' feeds.
Your people, your pace
A recipe sharing app where you choose who sees each recipe.
Updated
Chefless lets you share recipes three ways. Keep a recipe private, share it on your profile for the cooks who follow you, or share it with a Kitchen of the people you cook with. You can also make your whole account private, so people need your approval to follow you.

How do I share recipes with my family?
Create a Kitchen, send the invite code, and your family sees the recipes you share, the week's meal plan, and the shopping list. A Kitchen is private by default, so only members see it, and the Head Chef can make it public. The Head Chef also decides who can edit the plan or approve meals.
- Invite codes and a QR invite, so nobody needs a public profile to join
- Roles for the Head Chef, Editors, and Approvers, so the plan stays in order
- A person can be in one Kitchen at a time
I cooked it
Can I see what my friends actually cooked?
Yes. After cooking a recipe, a person can post a photo of their plate and rate the dish, and the cooks who follow them see it, along with comments and likes. That shows you how a dish turned out in other kitchens, as well as the author's photo.
- Cooked plates, ratings, and comments from the cooks you follow
- For You, Trending, Friends, and Seasonal feeds, and every recipe shows who made it
- Every dish you cook stamps your Culinary Passport across 166 cuisines in 8 world regions
Remix trees
What is a remix? A whole family tree.
A remix is your own version of someone else's recipe, with their name kept on it as the original. Chefless keeps the lineage, and with Chefless Premium you can open the whole remix tree, so the story of a dish survives every adaptation across kitchens and generations.
Who can see my recipes?
That is up to you. Each recipe is private, which keeps it visible only to you, or shared. A public account can be found and followed by anyone, while a private account needs your approval for every follower. Block and report tools keep unwanted people away.

Recipe sharing, answered.
Is there a social media app just for recipes?
Yes. Chefless is a social recipe app: follow cooks, browse For You, Trending, Friends, and Seasonal, rate what you cook, and post a photo of your plate. You can also join a Kitchen to plan and shop with family. Everything social is optional, there are no ads, and you decide what you share.
How do I share recipes with my family?
Create a Kitchen, send the invite code, and share any recipe you want them to have. Everyone in the Kitchen sees the shared recipes, the week's meal plan, and the shopping list. The Head Chef decides who can edit the plan or approve suggested meals. A person can be in one Kitchen at a time.
Can I keep some recipes private?
Yes. Each recipe is private or shared. A private recipe is visible only to you, so grandma's secret dough can stay yours while the weeknight pasta goes to everyone. You can also make your whole account private, so people need your approval before they can follow you.
Does Chefless show ads or sell my data?
Chefless shows no ads and never sells your data. Recipes you mark private are visible only to you, and a private account needs your approval for every follower. You can block or report anyone from their profile, and blocked people can no longer see your recipes or send you invites.
Can I share a recipe with someone who does not have Chefless?
Yes. Tap share on a recipe and send the link. If the recipe is shared, the link opens a page on chefless.org with its photo and details and a button to open it in the app or get Chefless. A private recipe shows a note that it is not available.
