The problem

Recipes are written to be read. Not cooked.

A life story, three pop-ups, then step 4 says "meanwhile, you should have already boiled the water." Tempo pulls out just the steps and puts them in the order you should actually do them.

1
Start the pasta waterHeats while you do the next three
2
Dice the onionWhile the water heats
3
Cook the onion until softUntil golden at the edges
4
Add the pasta, set a timerTempo runs the timer for you
How it works

Three steps to dinner.

1

Bring any recipe

Paste a link, snap a screenshot, or type it in. Tempo keeps the recipe's own words, so nothing gets lost.

2
Make the sauce
Dice the onion
Boil the water

Tempo plans it

It finds what can happen at the same time and puts the steps in the fastest safe order. Oven on before anything goes in.

3

Cook one step at a time

Big words, one job on screen, timers that run themselves. Tap Done, and the next step is already waiting.

The magic part

"While the water boils, do this."

Written order makes you wait around. Tempo fills every wait with something useful, so dinner lands sooner.

Every step has a picture

See it, then do it.

Hundreds of hand-drawn pictures show you what "dice", "simmer", and "ready to flip" really look like. No guessing.

Cook together

Two cooks. Zero bumping.

Invite a partner with a 4-letter code. Each phone gets its own jobs, so you never reach for the same pan, and you both finish at the same time.
