Everything Happi Happi can do.

Happi Happi is a cooking app for more than one person. Collecting recipes, shopping together, cooking together and planning cooking events: here is every part of the app explained.

What the badges mean

  • Real time Changes show up instantly for everyone taking part.
  • Offline Works without a connection too, in the installed app.
  • Happi Plus only A cosmetic extra from the voluntary subscription. It only ever refers to the points carrying exactly this badge.

Everything without a badge is included for free.

Recipes

The heart of the app: recipes that can do more than a typed-up sheet of paper.

  • Ingredients, steps, photos and labels in one clear editor
  • Group your ingredients, for example “for the dough” and “for the glaze”
  • Steps with their own timers, linked ingredients and optionally a linked sub-recipe
  • Convert amounts to a different number of servings or tin size and save that as a new version
  • Search and filter by label, ingredient, diet, allergen or preparation time
  • Export recipes as a PDF, print them or pass them on
  • A note tells you when somebody else is editing the same recipe right now

Versions

Several versions of a recipe are allowed to stand side by side as equals.

  • Any change can become a new version with a name and a note
  • Grandma’s original and your low-sugar take both stay around
  • Compare two versions right next to each other
  • Merge versions back together once one of them has won
  • Adopt recipes from friends into your own collection, with the origin still visible

Importing recipes

Recipes you already have land in your collection within seconds.

  • Import from a link, from up to three photos or from a PDF file
  • Ingredients, amounts and steps are detected automatically, in German and in English
  • Share a photo from another app and land straight in the import
  • Before saving, you check and correct everything in the editor
  • Photos and PDFs are stripped of hidden metadata before they are processed

Cooking

From the recipe into the kitchen, alone or with several people on the same dish.

  • Full-screen cooking mode that keeps the screen awake
  • Tick off steps and ingredients, timers per step let you know by themselves
  • The number of servings you picked carries over into cooking mode
  • Shared cooking session: everyone sees the same progress Real time
  • Claim steps (“I will do the sauce”) and see who is working on what Real time
  • Join through an invitation link, even when you are not in the same place

Shopping lists

One list for everyone, and it works in the supermarket with barely any signal.

  • Create lists, share them and fill them with several people
  • Pull ingredients straight from a recipe, and the app merges identical ones
  • Your own categories, sorted by your route through the shop
  • The app remembers which amount and category you last used for an ingredient
  • Ticked items disappear instantly on every device, and you can see who is looking along Real time
  • Keep working without a signal, and everything syncs itself once you are back online Offline

Meal plan

Plan the week without anyone having to ask what there is to eat.

  • Weekly and monthly view, with a recipe or simply as a note
  • Entries with a time and a personal reminder on your phone
  • Mark a meal as cooked, and your cooking streak grows from it
  • Share plans with individual friends or whole groups
  • Cooking events appear in the same calendar automatically

Friends & groups

Sharing starts with the people you actually cook with.

  • Find friends by a short user ID or by name
  • Send invitation links that expire on their own after a while
  • Groups for your flatshare, your family or your cooking circle
  • If you like, new recipes are shared automatically with chosen people or groups
  • The group overview shows diets and which ingredients everyone likes or really does not

Cookbooks

Shared collections, the family cookbook being the obvious one.

  • Create cookbooks, set a cover and invite members
  • A role per member: manage, edit or view only
  • Give a whole group access, and new members are included automatically
  • Changes to your own recipe can be carried into the cookbook copy, automatically or at the tap of a button
  • You can see who is working on which recipe right now

Cooking events

From the invitation to settling up, all in one place.

  • As a potluck, as a cook-along or classically with a host
  • Invite guests, collect acceptances and refusals, count plus-ones
  • Split the menu into courses and hand out contributions, by hand or automatically
  • Suggest recipes and vote on them together
  • An overview of every guest’s allergies and diets, including a warning when a recipe clashes
  • Record expenses and split them fairly, and the app tells you who owes what to whom
  • Chat, suggestions and expenses update instantly for everyone Real time
  • Afterwards a photo gallery and ratings stay behind as a memory

Inspiration

For those moments when nobody knows what to cook.

  • Pick who you are cooking for: individual friends or a whole group
  • Cook, share or schedule a suggestion right away

Notifications

You hear about what concerns you, and nothing else.

  • A push on your phone and an overview inside the app
  • From shared recipes through invitations to the reminder that it is time to cook
  • Tapping a notification takes you straight to the right place in the app
  • New notifications appear instantly Real time
