Potluck
Live · free beta

A personal cookbook · with room for the whole trip

A cookbook you'll actually keep — and take on the trip.

Capture a recipe in seconds, collect the keepers, and share a clean public link. When it's time to gather, spin up a trip: an itinerary, meal polls you vote on by attaching a recipe, and one photo from everyone — sealed until you get home.

Two surfaces, one app

One place for the everyday cooking — and the once-a-year trip.

Potluck is a personal cookbook first. Trips are an optional layer that sits on top when the group gets together. You can live entirely in your recipes and never touch a trip.

The standalone core

Recipes — your personal cookbook

Warm, editorial, photography-forward. Built for fast capture and for keeping the recipes that are actually worth keeping.

  • Capture a recipe fast — title, photo, ingredients, steps.
  • Collect the keepers into your own collections.
  • Set a recipe public and share a clean, no-chrome link.
The optional layer

Trips — for the whole group

Dashboard meets scrapbook. Spin one up when people gather: logistics up top, a shared memento at the bottom.

  • An itinerary everyone can see, by day.
  • Meal polls — vote on a meal by attaching a recipe.
  • One photo per person, revealed at the trip's end.

The core loop

Read it like a recipe — top to bottom.

Every step works on its own. The trip half only appears if and when you want it.

  1. Capture a recipe, fast

    Add a title, a photo, ingredients and steps. Repeatable rows make it quick — the whole point is that it doesn't feel like data entry.

  2. Collect it, then share a clean link

    Group recipes into collections. Set one public and hand out a tidy, no-chrome read view at /r/your-slug.

  3. Spin up a tripoptional

    Planning a gathering? Turn on the trip layer, name the dates, and invite people — invites work before anyone makes an account.

  4. Build the itinerary and open polls

    Lay out the days. Open a poll for a meal, a rental, or an activity — and for meals, vote by attaching a recipe straight from a cookbook.

  5. Everyone drops one photo

    Across the whole trip, each person gets a single frame. One shot. Choose it well.

  6. The reveal board, after the trip

    When the trip closes, every frame develops at once into a memento board you all see together for the first time.

The signature feature

The Roll — one photo each, revealed at the end.

Not a live gallery. Like a disposable camera passed around the trip: every frame stays sealed until the trip closes, then the whole roll develops at once — the first time anyone sees how the weekend actually looked.

6 people · 6 frames · develops when the trip closes

One each

A single frame per person

No feed to scroll, no ten-near-identical burst. The one-shot limit is the whole point — it makes the photo a decision.

Sealed

Hidden until the trip closes

Nobody sees anyone's shot while it's happening. The anticipation is the feature, not a bug to fix.

Revealed

Developed all at once

At the end, the roll opens as a memento board — a small, honest record of the weekend you keep afterward.

Pricing

The cookbook is free. Pay only when the trips add up.

Your recipes never sit behind a paywall. Pro is for people who run trip after trip and want to keep the memento.
