This has been my go-to app. It can ingest any recipe from the web via a browser add-on and store it, and it's incredibly searchable and also has a browser built-in to easily find recipes. It also cloud syncs between devices. Literally the only site I've ever had it not work through the browser plug-in is SN, but even then, you can use the built-in browser to pull in a recipe.
It also generates grocery lists from recipes really smoothly.
Note that it's NOT free or OSS, but it's one of the few apps like that I'm happy to use. Only other warning is that you do need to buy a copy for each OS you want to use it on (so Mac, Android, iOS, etc).

This is an interesting app, thanks for sharing. Luckily, we have other open source solutions:
And there's probably more that I am not aware of. Did you ever try any of the above?

Thanks! Other than Grocy (which didn't work for me), I hadn't tried these (though I think I encountered one or two when initially seraching); once I landed on something that worked and worked well, I didn't really look again. Looking through these, there are at least a couple I'm going to check out!

Thanks for checking. I'm really interested in the browser extension you mentioned. So it allows you to import any recipe into Paprika? It's automatic? I mean is able to find the details, ingredient, process and reformat it following paprika template/standars?
So sad does not work with SN, we could maybe have a look why

Yes, it pulls the details and reformats it into Paprika's format (separating ingredients, directions, etc, and even doing things like bolding any mentions of time in the recipe instructions). I'm guessing it works best with a few specific formats (I notice that Chowdown cites it as their preferred recipe app, and if definitely pulls well from it, as well as from the standard recipe card that seems to be on most cooking blogs), and probably some major sources like the NYTimes and Bon Appetit.
It's actually a javascript applet, so I could totally see it not working because of a security restriction on the site.

More than a security restriction, it may be the formatting output SN uses. There's no specific html tags, just <body>, <main> and a bunch of undefined <div>s. I doubt it's able to recognize anything.
