The browser,
domesticated.
A small, well-mannered extension for Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. When you land on a recipe, it will offer — quietly — to file the important parts into your Basil library, and leave the rest of the internet behind.
— meanwhile, Basil itself is already out and waiting on your phone.
§ Four Promises
What the extension will do.
— and, at least as carefully, a list of what it will not do.
One-click archival
A recipe, any recipe, filed into Basil with a single click — the way a bookmark should have worked the first time.
Ingredients, properly parsed
Quantities and units recognised even when the author wrote ¼-cup, 60 ml, and 'a generous handful' in the same paragraph.
Quiet detection
Basil notices when you're on a recipe page and offers — without nagging — to save it. Close the tab and it forgets.
Clean reading
A reader mode that hides the scroll-baiting life story and leaves you with the actual recipe.

entirely free.
The Companion is coming. Basil itself is already out — free, on iOS, no subscription.
