Why we built this
Every family has a box somewhere. Faded cards, torn edges, cryptic notes in a hand you'd recognize anywhere. Those recipes are stories. They deserve to last.

Snap a photo of Grandma's handwritten recipe card. Thyme Capsule uses AI to digitize, restore, and transform it into a beautiful heirloom cookbook — with the stories, the handwriting, and the love intact.

What it does
From faded index cards to a gorgeous digital library — Thyme Capsule handles the hard parts so you can focus on the memories.
Just photograph the card. Our AI reads the handwriting, transcribes every ingredient and step, and even explains archaic terms like "Oleo" or "Number 10 can."
Grease stains, tears, faded ink — we restore the original card to mint condition using AI image processing, while keeping your ancestor's handwriting perfectly intact.
Organize recipes into family cookbooks with custom covers, member photos, and settings. Print a physical copy as a gift or keepsake — bound and ready to gift.
Invite family members to contribute recipes, tag the people in photos, and build a living archive that grows with every generation.
Wonder what Grandma's casserole really looked like at its best? Generate a cinematic food photo of any recipe — set it in your own kitchen or dining room.
Handwriting analysis and margin notes surface the "vibe" of a recipe — whether it was a rushed weeknight dinner or a special Christmas tradition.
