FAQ
Clear answers about getting started, screenshot import, meal planning and budget, and privacy, grouped so you can jump to what matters.
Getting started
The free plan is for trying the basic workflow. You can save up to 10 recipes by typing them in, search that collection, and keep a basic shopping list. Screenshot capture, the full weekly planner, automatic tagging, budget tools, smart week generation, unlimited saves, and cross-device sync are part of Kyura Premium.
New accounts can try Premium for seven days where the trial is offered in the app. The app shows the current price, billing period, payment provider, and renewal terms before you confirm, and you manage or cancel through the same account or store that charged you. Compare what changes on the pricing page.
No. Basic local use on the free plan does not need an account. Creating one becomes useful once you want cross-device sync or a Premium feature such as screenshot capture.
The Android app can be downloaded from Get Kyura now. It is an early build that comes straight from us rather than Google Play, so your phone will ask you to approve the install once, and it will not update itself. There is no iPhone app yet. The web app at my.kyura.app works in any browser on any device, and this site will show official App Store and Google Play links once those listings are live.
Kyoo-rah. The name draws on the Latin word cura, meaning care, curation, and tending, which reflects the idea of caring for the recipes you already love rather than collecting more noise.
Screenshot import
Kyura uses image reading and recipe parsing to prepare a structured draft from your screenshot or photo. Accuracy depends on image quality, cropping, handwriting, and the original layout, so you review and can edit the title, ingredients, method, timing, and serving size before the recipe is saved. The screenshot to recipe guide covers what to check first.
Yes, by screenshotting the post before you import it. Kyura reads a saved screenshot the same way regardless of where it came from, so a recipe from Instagram or TikTok can be captured once the ingredients and method are visible in the image. There is no direct connection to either platform, so a clear screenshot stays the reliable way into screenshot capture.
It can attempt to, using the same image reading as any photo, but handwriting increases the chance of a misread. Review the draft carefully against the original before saving, especially quantities and temperatures. See screenshot capture for how the review step works.
Yes. The source image can be stored beside the formatted recipe in screenshot capture, so you can compare the draft with the original layout or wording later.
Yes. AI extraction in screenshot capture needs a connection to read the image. Saved recipes and shopping lists stay available offline, subject to your device and account state.
Meal planning and budget
No. Generate my week only selects from recipes already saved in your library. It can match dietary preferences, effort, recency, variety, and budget information, and shows the gaps instead of inventing a meal when the library cannot fill the week.
No. Nutritional estimates shown in the weekly planner and smart generator are approximate and for general guidance only. Dietary tags and preferences are organisation tools, not medical advice or an allergy guarantee. Always check the original recipe, ingredient labels, and advice from a qualified health professional where needed.
In v1, you enter the prices and units for ingredients you buy into the budget feature. Kyura uses that personal list for recipe and shopping estimates rather than claiming live supermarket prices. The weekly grocery budget guide walks through setting one up.
Yes. The weekly planner fills breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack slots from your saved recipes, then generates one consolidated shopping list with matching ingredients combined and pantry staples left out.
Yes. Planning in Kyura starts from recipes you already keep rather than a fixed program, so it works whether you are experienced or just starting out. The meal planning for beginners guide is a simple place to start with the weekly planner.
Yes. The budget feature compares your shopping list total with a weekly amount you set, using ingredient prices you enter rather than live retailer data. Try the free budget calculator for a quick sense of how a few planned meals stack up before you set up a full price list in the app.
Privacy and account
Saved recipes and shopping lists are designed to remain useful when you are offline, subject to your device and account state. Screenshot extraction, account sync, and any remote nutrition lookup need a connection.
Use Delete account in app settings, submit the public deletion form, or email [email protected] from the address on your account. The delete account page explains what is removed, what may need to be retained for billing or legal reasons, and how to cancel a separate store subscription. You can also ask support first if you are not sure.
No. Kyura organises the recipes you choose to save in your own recipe library; it does not publish them into a public feed or share them with other users. See our Privacy Policy for the full detail of what is collected and why.
The Privacy Policy covers what is collected and why, and the Terms cover the rules of using Kyura. Both are linked from the footer of every page.
Open Kyura on the web, add the first recipe you want to keep, and build the week from food you already love.
