How Maelivia works

Bring a recipe
Paste a link or text from any recipe site, a message or your own notes. Maelivia's recipe import turns it into clear, numbered steps with ingredients and timers.
Start cooking and just talk
Say "what's next?", "how much salt?" or "I already flipped them". The voice cooking assistant answers out loud, so your phone stays on the counter and your hands stay in the bowl.
Let it keep track
Rice soaking, sauce simmering, oven heating: it keeps every timer running and tells you a minute before something needs you.

What’s next?Set a timer for eight minutesIs the oven hot yet?How much salt?I already flipped themIs the rice ready?Give me a minuteCan I use butter instead?Go back one stepWhat temperature for the oven?

Try it. You’re making karnıyarık.

Tap a line to say it. Timers here run twenty times faster than real life, so you’ll hear Maelivia speak up on its own when one is about to finish.

Voice cooking features a recipe card can't match

Every pot, kept in mind

Rice soaking, sauce simmering, oven heating. Run as many timers as you like, and it knows what you can do while you wait.

Speaks up when it matters

A heads-up before a timer ends, a nudge when something has been on too long. It stays quiet while you talk.

Cooks your own recipes

Paste a recipe from a blog, a message or your grandmother’s notes. It becomes clear steps you can cook by voice.

Change your mind anytime

Went a step too far, or said the wrong thing? Ask it to go back or undo, and everything is right where it was.

Safety and allergies, handled carefully

Help, right away

Say “the oil caught fire” or “I cut myself” and it doesn’t stop to think. You get calm, clear instructions immediately, with the emergency number for your country.

Honest about allergies

Swapping an ingredient? It checks for common allergens. If it isn’t sure about something, it tells you so instead of guessing.

Maelivia uses AI, but it doesn't make up your recipe: it follows the one you brought. When it isn't sure, it says so instead of guessing.

Who it's for

Maelivia is for people who cook from recipes and are tired of unlocking their phone with sticky fingers: home cooks trying a new dish, parents cooking with a kid on one arm, and anyone who saves recipes from Instagram or blogs and never gets round to making them. If you want a hands-free cooking app that follows your recipe instead of its own, it's built for you.

Questions

What is Maelivia?

Maelivia is a hands-free voice cooking assistant for iPhone. You talk while you cook; it reads the next step, answers questions and keeps your timers.

Can I use my own recipes?

Yes. Paste a link or text from a recipe site, a message or your notes, and the recipe import turns it into steps you can cook by voice. Import is part of Pro.

Does it speak Turkish?

Yes. It understands and speaks both Turkish and English.

How much does it cost?

You can try it free with 1 voice session. Pro is $6.99 a week or $49.99 a year, with a 3-day free trial on the yearly plan.

Is it on the App Store?

Not yet. It's coming to the App Store in November 2026.

Do I need to touch my phone while cooking?

No. Once you start, you can move through steps, set timers and go back by voice alone.

Is it safe with allergies?

It flags common allergens when you swap an ingredient and says so when it isn't sure. It's a help, not a guarantee, so always check labels.

How is it different from a regular recipe app?

A regular recipe app shows you a page. Maelivia follows along: it knows which step you're on, which timers are running and what you can do while you wait.
