Thank you to everyone who has been testing Paprika 4 so far. We’ve gotten some really helpful feedback and also finished up a couple of features that didn’t make it into the initial beta. As we get closer to release we are now opening up beta access to all current users.
What’s New in Paprika 4
Recipes
- Recipe scanning - Choose a photo of a cookbook page or recipe card and let Paprika scan the recipe.
- Social media importing - Save recipes from TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube.
- Clipboard importing - Copy text from an email, document, or message, and let Paprika extract the recipe.
- Cookbooks - Organize your recipe collection into cookbooks and share them with other Paprika users.
- Advanced search - Search for recipes based on prep time, servings, rating, categories, etc. Combine rules to refine the results and save searches for reuse.

We’ve also refreshed the user interface, updated the app icon, and made a bunch of minor improvements to the app. For a detailed list of changes check out our updated User Guides below.
