Steps that wait for you
Cards sized for a glance from two steps away. Advance with a knuckle, an elbow or “Platingoes, next”.
-
Timers that know the recipe
Every step arrives pre-timed. Platingoes stages them backwards from plate-up so the fish, the sauce and the sides land together.
-
Screen awake, hands dirty
Wake-lock, splash-proof type, one-swipe undo. Nothing dims halfway through a beurre blanc.
Techniques that neverslow you down
The parts of cooking a paragraph cannot teach: motion, sound, timing, and the moment to stop.
-
Loop 041 · the finished dish Looping micro-videos
Six to twelve seconds of the exact motion: quenelle, brunoise, tourné, glossing a jus. No 14-minute vlog, no intro, no story about a grandmother.
-
Multi-timer choreography
Six timers in one lane, staged backwards from the moment the plate leaves the counter.
-
Voice and glance mode
“Next.” “Repeat that.” “Hold the timer.” Recognised on-device, so it also works in a basement kitchen.
-
Works with the wifi off
Recipes, clips and blueprints cache before you start. Airplane mode is a supported cooking method.
Plating blueprints
Blueprints drawnthe way chefs draw them
Every finished dish ships with a blueprint: where the purée lands, the angle of the swipe, the negative space you leave alone. Keep it side-by-side while you build the plate, or overlay it on the camera and match the render.
- Clock positions and a placement grid for every element
- Sauce dynamics: swipe, drag, dot, feather
- Height, contrast and the negative space to protect
- Export a printable station card for the pass
Two ways in.No dinner-time upsells.
Buy the app once, or keep the blueprints coming every month. Both work offline, neither runs ads.

Platingoes Perks:the kit that is in the clip
Every technique loop lists exactly what is in frame: the knife, the pan, the tweezers, the salt. Tap it, learn why it matters, and get a members’ price from the makers we actually cook with.

The finishing salt in the plating chapter. Free with every Kitchen Pass in the first month.
We only partner with makers our test kitchen already uses. Partner links are labelled, and Perks pricing never changes what a recipe recommends.
From kitchens already running it
-
It replaced the printed sheets taped to my hood. Two services in, my commis stopped asking me how long the fish had left.
-
He learned tourné in one evening because the loop never got bored of repeating it. I could not have done that with a video.
-
First app my mother finished an entire recipe on. She now sends me photos of her plating and asks for feedback.
Questionsfrom the line
Still stuck? Write to [email protected]; a person who cooks answers it.
Which devices will Platingoes run on?
Any tablet or phone from the last five years: iPadOS and iOS 16 or newer, Android 11 or newer. The layout is designed tablet-first, propped up in landscape, and falls back to a single-column phone view with the same big-tap targets.
Does it really work offline?
Yes. When you open a recipe, Platingoes caches its steps, its technique loops and its plating blueprint to the device. Once cached, a whole service can run in airplane mode, timers, voice control and blueprints included.
Is this a subscription?
Not by default. Kitchen Pass is a one-time €39 purchase that includes the whole library and every v1 update. Chef’s Table is an optional €7 per month for cooks who want four new blueprints and a live kitchen Q&A each month.
What happens to my data?
We collect the minimum: your email for the waitlist, and aggregate, self-hosted product analytics with no third-party trackers. No ad networks, no data sales, no third-party fonts, even the typefaces on this page are served from our own domain.
Can I bring my own recipes?
In beta, yes. Paste a recipe URL or type the steps and Platingoes proposes timers, technique loops and a plating blueprint you can edit. Your recipes stay on your device unless you explicitly share them.
Are the plating blueprints from real restaurants?
Each blueprint is built with the chef credited on the dish, then re-tested in our studio kitchen with home equipment so the plate is achievable on a domestic counter. If it needs a blast chiller, it does not ship.
Your counteris ready.
Beta invites go out in batches, kitchen by kitchen. One email when it is your turn, and one when we launch. Nothing else.
