Simmered

Terms of Use

Effective October 29, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Wave Labs LLC (“we”, “us”), which makes Simmered. By using Simmered, you agree to them. Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies to the app. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information.

1. Who can use Simmered

You must be 18 or older and in the United States. You sign in with your Apple Account.

2. What Simmered does

You add a link to a cooking video, photos or a recipe page on a website, or paste a recipe’s text, and Simmered creates a written recipe from it using an AI service, Google Gemini. You can also write a recipe yourself.

• Simmered works with links from TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, and supported recipe websites. A link from TikTok, Instagram or YouTube must point to a public video or, on TikTok or Instagram, to public photos. Some websites aren’t supported.
• Simmered may open a recipe page in the app, where you can sign in to the website with your own account. The page is the website’s own, and your use of it, and of any account you have there, is between you and that website, under its terms.
• Your private recipes (recipes you add from text or from a website, or write yourself) can be seen only by you.
• Some links can’t be turned into recipes, such as links to private videos, live streams and very long videos.
• A new account starts the free trial or subscribes before it can use Simmered. After that, importing recipes and editing the ones you imported need an active subscription, which has a monthly limit (section 3). Writing and editing your own recipes don’t.
• You can also plan your meals from your library and keep a shopping list.
• We may change or stop features, including which links work, subject to any notice the law requires.

3. Subscription

Importing recipes, and editing recipes you imported, need a Simmered subscription, which you buy in the app through Apple. A new account starts the free trial or subscribes before it can use Simmered.

• Plans: monthly or yearly. The app shows each plan’s price before you subscribe.
• Free trial: if you’re eligible, the yearly plan starts with a 1-week free trial. The monthly plan has no free trial. Apple allows each Apple Account one free trial of Simmered. To avoid being charged, cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Otherwise, when the trial ends, your subscription begins and your Apple Account is charged.
• Renewal: your subscription renews automatically at the end of each period, and your Apple Account is charged, until you cancel.
• Cancelling: cancel at any time in your Apple Account’s subscription settings (Apple’s instructions). You keep your subscription until the end of the current period, or of the free trial if you cancel during it.
• Price changes: if a plan’s price goes up, Apple tells you before it applies to your next renewal, and in some cases asks you to agree to it first.
• Payments and refunds are handled by Apple. We don’t receive your payment details, and refund requests go to Apple.
• What’s included: imports from the links, recipe pages and recipe text Simmered supports, which can change (section 2), for your personal use. Imports have a monthly limit to prevent misuse, which we don’t publish. An import counts when Simmered makes a recipe from what you added, or finds that it holds no recipe. Adding a link that already has a recipe in Simmered doesn’t count. Imports we turn down, or that fail because of a problem on our side or at a service we use before your recipe is made, don’t count. The count starts again at the beginning of each month (UTC).
• If your trial or subscription ends, you can still read your saved recipes, use favorites and categories, and use your meal plan and shopping list, and write recipes and edit the ones you wrote, but you can’t import recipes or edit the ones you imported. Recipes you edited stay as you left them.

4. Recipes can be wrong

Recipes Simmered imports are generated automatically from the video, photos, recipe page or text and aren’t checked by anyone. They can be incomplete or wrong, including amounts, temperatures, times and ingredients. Check the original video, photos, page or text before you cook, and check ingredients, allergens and food safety yourself, because the original can be wrong too.

5. Creators’ videos, photos and recipe pages

Recipes made from links come from videos, photos and recipe pages created by other people, and those creators keep their rights. Each recipe made from a video or photos credits the platform, and the creator when known, and links to the original. Each recipe made from a recipe page credits the website, and the author when known, and links to the page. A recipe you add from its text, or write yourself, is credited to you. Simmered doesn’t give you a copy of the original video or photos or let you save them; a recipe may show a small picture that your phone loads from the platform. Simmered isn’t affiliated with, or endorsed by, the platforms or websites whose links it accepts.

If you created a video, photos or a recipe page and have a concern about a recipe made from them, email support@wave-labs.app with the link.

We respond to copyright notices as the support page describes, and we terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe.

6. Using Simmered fairly

Don’t:

• use Simmered to break the law or infringe anyone’s rights;
• try to get around the limits, get into other people’s accounts, or disrupt the service;
• use bots or other automated tools to access Simmered;
• use Simmered for anything other than your own personal use, such as adding recipes for a business or on behalf of others;
• copy, resell or reverse engineer the service, except as the law allows.

Only paste or type text you have the right to use. You keep your rights in text you paste or type into Simmered, and you give us permission to store, copy, process and transmit it, using our service providers, as needed to provide Simmered’s features.

We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms. We may instead pause an account’s imports. It can still read its saved recipes, edit them while it has a subscription, and write and edit recipes of its own. If you think your imports were paused by mistake, email support@wave-labs.app.

7. Your account

You’re responsible for the devices and Apple Account you use with Simmered. You can delete your Simmered account in the app at any time; see Delete your account.

8. No warranty

Simmered is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows. We don’t promise that it will always be available, work without errors or give accurate recipes.

9. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, Wave Labs LLC isn’t liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost data or profits, arising from your use of Simmered or from relying on a recipe. Our total liability for any claim about Simmered is limited to the greater of what you paid for Simmered in the 12 months before the claim, or $50. These limits don’t apply to liability the law doesn’t let us limit, such as for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud. Some places don’t allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

10. Governing law

Hawaii law governs these terms. This doesn’t take away any rights you have under the consumer protection laws where you live. If part of these terms can’t be enforced, the rest still applies.

11. Changes

When we change these terms, we’ll post the new version here and update the effective date, and we’ll notify you of material changes when the law requires it.
