Blackcap
Plan meals, manage recipes, shop smarter, and cook with confidence.
Blackcap brings the kitchen workflow into one place: capture and organize recipes, plan meals, build and shop lists, track what is already on hand, deliver content to kitchen displays, and cook step by step. Use the hosted Blackcap Cloud service or run Blackcap yourself on a Raspberry Pi or other self-hosted hardware.
Blackcap
Your recipe, planning, shopping, inventory, display, and guided-cooking workspace.
Main features
One application for the complete kitchen workflow.
Blackcap connects recipe capture, planning, shopping, inventory, displays, and cooking instead of treating them as unrelated tools.
Recipes
Import recipes from websites and supported social-media sources, add them manually or from photos, then edit, organize, share, and render them.
📅Meal Planner
Plan days, weeks, and months with configurable meal slots, multiple items, recipe scaling, and display-ready views.
🛒Shopping Lists
Generate and shop lists, maintain a Household List, synchronize supported external lists, and use assisted Shop With workflows.
🧺Kitchen Inventory
Track what is on hand, where it is stored, and what should be filtered from shopping without mixing inventory into the shopping-list lifecycle.
🖥️Displays
Deliver recipes, meal plans, menus, and cooking views to local e-ink, hosted web, kiosk, mock, and remote Raspberry Pi displays.
🧑🍳Let’s Cook
Cook step by step with preparation guidance, ingredients, progress, timers, touch or voice controls, and display-aware delivery.
🤖AI
Use configured OpenAI or Gemini capabilities for supported social-recipe review and recipe image generation, governed by AI Seeds and usage reporting.
🧩Chrome Extension
Capture normal recipe pages and supported social-media evidence, use Quick Add, bridge external lists, and shop with attended browser assistance.
📱Mobile
Use phone-focused recipe, planning, shopping, inventory, capture, and guided-cooking workflows away from the Admin interface.
🔌Integrations
Connect email, cloud backups, voice assistants, authentication providers, external shopping lists, and assisted shopping services.
🎮Games
Play organization-aware berry trivia and cooking-terms trivia where games are enabled.
🧱Solid Foundation
Role-aware security, Database Admin, API testing, System diagnostics, backups, retention, performance, jobs, and regression tooling keep Blackcap dependable.
