The whole idea
From “what do I do next?” to “that was easy.”
ChopCue puts the ingredient, the action, and the timer in the same place.
02
Build your prep board
Group ingredients by the step that needs them and check them off as you go.
03
Follow the cues
One step per screen, an adjustable timer, and a clear “next” — cook without hunting through a wall of text.
Everything inside
A calm kitchen companion — not a database.
The guided flow is the product. Here’s what comes with it.

Guided Cook Mode
One step per screen with a big timer, the ingredient cue, and a preview of what’s next.

- Automatic quantity scaling when servings change

Good questions
Everything you’re probably wondering.
Is it really a one-time purchase?
Yes. One payment of $9.99 unlocks ChopCue for good on that platform — no monthly fee, no annual renewal, no “premium tier” creeping in later. You own it.
Does it work offline?
Completely. Cooking, prep boards, timers, and your saved recipes all work with no connection and no account. An optional account only comes into play if you want to share recipes or sync across devices.
Do I need to create an account?
No. You can install it and start cooking immediately. An account is optional — only needed for community features like sharing to Explore or leaving feedback.
Which phones does it run on?
Both iOS and Android. It’s the same app and the same one-time price on each (purchases are per platform, as the app stores require).
What’s free vs. paid?
The free preview includes built-in recipes plus the full Cook Mode and timers so you can try the real experience. The one-time unlock adds the whole recipe library, unlimited custom recipes and ingredients, prep bundles, and sharing.
When does it launch?
We’re aiming for Summer 2026. Early-access testers get in first and help us prioritize the launch features — join the list above to be included.
