04 · Cook mode

Big steps. Hands free. Screen awake.

When you're elbow-deep in onions, scrolling isn't an option. Cook mode puts one big step at a time on screen, lets you peek at any ingredient, and refuses to doze off mid-stir. So you don't smear flour on a sleeping phone.

Try cook mode — it's free see how it works

One step at a time

Big text. One thing on the bench.

Recipes online are walls of small text. Cook mode is the opposite — one step, large enough to read across the kitchen, with the next-and-previous buttons big enough to hit with your knuckle.

20pt body, 22pt step text. Readable from across the bench.
One thing visible. Past steps fade out, future steps stay out of the way.
48px tap targets. Knuckle-sized for messy hands.

Tap to peek

'How many lemons?' — Tap.

Every ingredient inside a step is a peek-able link. Tap 'lemons' mid-step and the quantity floats up beside it — no scroll-back, no thumb-fumbling, no losing your place in the recipe.

Inline ingredients. Highlighted in step text the same way they appear in the ingredient list.
One-tap peek. Quantity, prep, and substitutions pop up next to the word.
Tap anywhere to dismiss. Or just keep cooking — it auto-fades after 4 seconds.

Screen stays awake

Don't smear flour on a sleeping phone.

slrp uses your browser's wake-lock to keep the screen on for as long as cook mode is open. No more flour-dusted fingers swiping at a black screen. No more 'oh, it slept again' mid-knead.

Wake-lock on entry. The screen stays on the moment cook mode opens.
Releases on exit. Battery's safe — the lock drops as soon as you finish or close the recipe.
Visual indicator. A small 'screen awake' pill confirms it's working — no guessing.

What does cook mode do?

Cook mode is a distraction-free recipe view designed for actual cooking. Large text, no autoplay videos, no popups — just the recipe, scaled to your servings, on a screen that won't go to sleep.

Will my screen go to sleep while I'm cooking?

No. Cook mode keeps the screen awake so you can glance at the recipe while your hands are covered in flour.

Can I scale a recipe up or down in cook mode?

Yes. Bump the servings up or down and slrp recalculates every ingredient quantity instantly.

Does cook mode work on phones and tablets?

Yes. Cook mode is responsive and works on any device with a browser — phone propped up on the bench, tablet by the stove, laptop on the dining table.

Can both of us use cook mode at the same time?

Yes. Each partner can open cook mode on their own device — handy when one of you is at the stove and the other is prepping ingredients.

Big steps. Hands free. Screen awake.

Big text. One thing on the bench.
