Why we built Heirloom
The loss
73% of family recipes are lost within one generation. They exist as screenshots, bookmarks, handwritten cards, and memories—scattered across devices and drawers.
- Bookmarked recipes vanish when sites change
- Handwritten cards fade and get lost
- Video recipes disappear in algorithm feeds
- Family recipes get lost between generations
The mission
Heirloom treats recipes as what they are—cultural heritage. We built technology that preserves, organizes, and attributes them properly.
- Save from any source in one tap
- Track where every recipe comes from
- Share with intention, not broadcast
- Private by default, always
