Quick answer: Everything that matters - recipes, tags, planner entries, shopping lists, and most settings are stored in CookBook’s encrypted cloud and automatically appears on every device you sign in with.

Items that sync

• All recipe data – ingredients, steps, photos, nutrition, notes, ratings
• Recent recipes & favourites – your history and ⭐ marks
• Tags – names, images, assigned recipes
• Site links – any URLs you’ve saved for quick import
• Meal planner – day, week, and month slots plus macro totals
• Shopping lists – items, aisle sorting, strike-offs, Instacart status
• Key settings – unit & fraction/decimal preference, language

(Local-only settings like notification permissions follow your device’s OS, not the cloud.)

How to force a manual sync

If something looks out of date:

1. Open the Side menu ☰.
2. Tap Sync device.
3. Wait a few seconds - the spinner disappears when the latest data is downloaded.
