Extensions

Saving Recipes from Safari

Paprika's share extension allows you to easily save recipes directly from Safari. To use the extension, first browse to a recipe you would like to save in Safari. Then press the Share button in Safari's toolbar, and select Paprika Recipe Manager 4.

If you do not see Paprika Recipe Manager 4 in the share menu, click Edit Extensions and enable it first.

Note

The share extension also works with social media links — share a post from a site such as TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube to Paprika and it will extract the recipe from the post's text. See Clipping Recipes from Social Media.

Shortcuts

Paprika supports the Shortcuts app on macOS, so you can automate common tasks and run them from Shortcuts or with Siri. Available actions are Add to Grocery List, Add to Pantry, Show Meal (today's meals for a meal type), Export Grocery List, Open Recipe, Open Link (opens a link in Paprika's browser), and Launch Paprika (opens Paprika to a specific screen). You can also search your recipes from Shortcuts.
