Frequently asked

Everything you need to know before downloading.

How much does Roux cost?
Roux is a one-time purchase on the App Store — no subscriptions, no in-app purchases. Buy once, own it forever.
Does Roux require an account?
No account, no sign-up, no email. Everything runs on your device using Apple Intelligence. Your recipes are stored locally and never leave your iPhone.
Can I import recipes from any website?
Yes. Roux supports any site with standard Schema.org recipe markup (JSON-LD), covering most popular sites — Serious Eats, NYT Cooking, BBC Good Food, and hundreds more. A regex fallback handles sites without structured data. You can also batch-import from Recipe Keeper ZIP exports.
Can I convert cups to grams?
Yes. Tap any ingredient to toggle between volume (cups, tbsp, tsp) and weight (grams, oz, lb). Over 60 common ingredients have built-in density data for accurate conversion. tsp and tbsp are intentionally never converted — they're universal kitchen units.
Does Roux work offline?
Yes. AI enrichment, Cook Mode, unit conversion, and recipe browsing all work fully offline. The USDA FDC API is only used as a fallback for unknown ingredients.
What iPhone do I need?
Roux requires iOS 26 or later. AI enrichment features require Apple Intelligence, available on iPhone 15 Pro and newer with Apple Intelligence enabled in Settings.

Made by a home cook, for home cooks.

Roux is an indie iOS app built and maintained by Pharis. After years of jumping between recipe apps that required subscriptions, pushed recipes to the cloud, or lost fidelity on import — Roux was built to be the opposite: one fair price, everything on your device, nothing left behind.
