Working with Recipes

Recipes are the core building blocks in Checkipe. A recipe is a list of steps that guide you through a process, whether it's cooking a meal, following a procedure, or completing any repeatable task.

Viewing Your Recipes

To see all your recipes:

  1. From the home screen, tap My Recipes
  2. You'll see a list of all your recipes organized by title
  3. Tap any recipe to view its full details, including all steps

You can also search for recipes using the search bar at the top of the recipes list.

Creating a New Recipe

To create a recipe:

  1. From the home screen, tap Create Recipe
  2. Enter a title for your recipe (required)
  3. Optionally add a description to provide more context
  4. Add steps by entering the instruction text and tapping the add button
  5. You can optionally add numerical inputs to steps (e.g., "Temperature" with units like "°F")
  6. Tap Save to create your recipe

Once saved, your recipe is ready to use!

Viewing Recipe Details

When viewing a recipe, you can:

  • See all the steps in order
  • View any numerical inputs associated with steps
  • Create a run from the recipe (see Running Recipes)
  • Access the recipe menu to edit, delete, or share the recipe

Recipe Versions

Recipes in Checkipe use a versioning system:

  • Multiple versions can share the same URL key (slug)
  • Each version has its own unique ID
  • After a recipe is first created, it's better to create new versions rather than editing the original
  • To view all versions of a recipe, look for the "View Versions" option in the recipe menu

Working with Org Recipes

If you're part of an org, you can:

  • Create recipes that belong to the org
  • View recipes created by other org members
  • Use the scope switcher to toggle between personal and org recipes

See Working with Orgs for more details.
