Your Library

Fennel stores your recipes, images, meal plan, and grocery list locally. You do not need an account, and this version does not sync to iCloud.

Recipe Imports

When you import a recipe from TikTok, Instagram, or a website, Fennel requests content from that source. Recipe text, source attribution, and supported images can become part of your local library.

Fennel can refine recipe text using on-device processing on supported iPhones. The app checks the result against the original recipe before using it.

Files You Choose to Share

You can export your recipe library as a .fennelrecipes file. It includes recipes, categories, tags, and recipe images. It does not include your meal plan, grocery list, preferences, or diagnostics.

You choose where to save or share the file. Its contents can be read by anyone you share it with.

Local Diagnostics

Fennel keeps local diagnostic events for import and storage issues. Diagnostic exports contain redacted local events that you choose to share.

Detailed recipe-event logging is off by default. It records processing stages without recipe text, URLs, or model responses.
