Read privacy informationCurrent status: Varyu is in development, and you can already try the early-access version on TestFlight. There is no public App Store release or confirmed launch date yet.
Availability and devices
Varyu is a native iPhone application for iOS 18 or later. There is no Android version, and this website does not let you use Varyu in a browser.
You can install the beta from TestFlight. A public release will happen in stages after testing, final backend configuration, and privacy review. This site will show the official App Store link when it is ready.
Importing a recipe
Text
You can type or paste a recipe. This is the most direct alternative when a page cannot be read automatically.
Photos
Varyu lets you select up to six photos and recognizes their text on the iPhone before sending it to the backend. Blurry images may require another photo or a manual correction.
Web pages
Public pages with structured recipe data or readable text work best. Varyu does not bypass sign-ins, paywalls, CAPTCHA, blocking, or pages that depend entirely on JavaScript.
YouTube
Current support is assisted: Varyu can use metadata and a public description when it contains the recipe. Arbitrary video transcription is not promised; when information is missing, Varyu asks for text or screenshots instead.
How adaptations work
Varyu keeps one visible recipe. The original version is preserved internally, while the adaptation becomes its current state.
- Change the serving count from 1 to 48 people.
- Choose a Budget, Balanced, or Premium cost level.
- Apply a specific dietary profile.
- Mark several ingredients as “I do not have it” and adapt them together.
- Review each substitution, its reason, and the original ingredient.
If restoring an ingredient conflicts with an important restriction, Varyu asks for confirmation. Allergies and dietary restrictions still require review, and there is no medical guarantee.
Costs and region
Each cost appears as a guidance range with its region, currency, date, and confidence level. Varyu does not query supermarket prices or inventory in real time.
You can choose your region, currency, and units. Suggested stores or places are general categories—such as a market or supermarket—not promises of availability.
Account, privacy, and deletion
Varyu uses Sign in with Apple to maintain a private, synchronized library. Profiles and recipes are isolated by user.
Settings includes an action to delete the account, recipes, profiles, and files. Source photos are designed to be temporary, and private keys for AI services are not embedded in the app.

Contact support
The support email is still pending verification. During early access, this page is the official source for status and help. We will publish the contact channel here once it is operational.
