Jude gets to know you
Your tastes, kitchen and people. All editable.
Why not just…
Other options feed you once.
Jude helps you keep cooking.
Recipe websites
Endless choice. Long intros and ads, and none of them know what's in your fridge or what you're allergic to.
With Jude: Straight to the point: one recipe made for you, step by step. No ads, no tracking.
Meal kits
Tasty and tidy. You pay for every box, and the menu is theirs, not yours.
With Jude: Uses your own groceries, on your schedule.
Meal-planning apps
A neat plan for the week. Then Wednesday happens, and the plan doesn't care.
With Jude: Starts from tonight, and adapts when life does.
General AI chatbots
They'll write you a recipe. Then you're on your own: no cook mode, timers or safe temperatures, no allergy check on a server, no Progress square, no challenges, and nobody cheering when you nail it. They answer; they don't coach.
With Jude: Built only for cooking, from the fridge photo to “I made that!”, and built to keep you cooking next week too.
Everything else
Useful, sure. But let's be honest: a little beige.
With Jude: Look at him. Go on, give Jude a poke.
Your Progress
Everyone starts square.
Your Progress square has four corners: Habit (how often you cook), Skill (how well you cook), Health (how good it is for you) and Joy (how much you enjoy it). Every cook stretches a corner, and Jude stretches with it.
This is the real Jude from the app. Tap him, pull a corner, log a pretend cook. The scoring is a simplified taste of the app's, where every cook gets celebrated.
I want my own squareEveryone starts square.

Allergies are hard rules
Jude never ignores them, and our server double-checks every recipe. Safe cooking temperatures, always.

Questions
Good questions, honest answers.
What is Cooking Rox?
An iPhone app where you cook with Jude, a cheerful AI cooking buddy. Jude suggests what to make from what you have, walks you through it, and helps you save money, eat better, explore new food and build a cooking habit that sticks. Your Progress square tracks four things: how often you cook, your skill, how well you eat and how much you enjoy it.
How do you say it?
Say it out loud: Cooking Rox. That's exactly how we want you to feel about dinner.
How is it different from a recipe site or a chatbot?
A recipe site gives you a list and a chatbot gives you an answer. Jude gives you dinner: one pick from what's in your fridge, made for your tastes, your people and your allergies, then cooked together step by step with timers and safe temperatures. And he keeps you going: your Progress square tracks Habit, Skill, Health and Joy; gentle nudges make your plates healthier; challenges grow with you, from skill-ups to new cuisines; and every cook gets celebrated. Also, he's adorable. Try poking him in the Progress section.
When can I get it?
We're inviting beta testers on TestFlight in small batches, and we'll open the App Store as soon as Apple gives us the nod. Join the list and you'll hear first.
How much does it cost?
Beta testers pay nothing. When we launch, your first month is free, then it's a subscription. You'll see the plans in the app before you pay anything.
What's TestFlight?
Apple's own app for trying apps before they launch. We send you an invite by email, you install TestFlight from the App Store, then Cooking Rox from there. You can tell us what you think right from the app.
Is there an Android version?
Not yet. Android is coming after the iPhone launch. Join the list, pick Android, and we'll tell you when it's ready.
Can I trust it with my allergies?
Jude treats your allergies as hard rules and our server checks every recipe against them. But AI can make mistakes, so always read your labels too. Jude gives safe cooking temperatures and never gives home-canning recipes.AI can make mistakes: always check labels.
