Help and answers
Most questions are about connecting. The getting started page covers sign-in, proxies and home servers step by step.
Common questions
Does Padella work without a Tandoor server?
No. Padella is a client for Tandoor Recipes and has no recipe storage of its own, which is also why there is no account with us. If you don't run Tandoor yet, the Tandoor documentation explains how to set one up with Docker.
Which Tandoor versions are supported?
Tandoor 2.0 and later. Tandoor 1.x can't sign in. For saving recipes and editing lists with an API token, 2.7.2 or later works best.
Why doesn't my timer ring when the phone is on silent?
On iOS 26 and later a finished timer rings like an alarm, even on silent, once you allow alarms at the first timer. On iOS 18 it arrives as a notification and follows your silent and Focus settings. Check that Padella may send notifications in Settings.
Does the shopping list work in a store with no signal?
Yes. Check items off and add new ones; changes are queued and sent to your server when you're back online, with no duplicates.
Can I edit recipes?
Not in version 1.0. Padella imports recipes, changes servings while cooking and manages meal plans and shopping lists.
Does Share to Padella work from Chrome and Firefox?
Yes, from any browser's share sheet on iOS, and from most apps that share a web link. The import uses Tandoor's own importer, so it handles the sites Tandoor's web import does.
Is there an Android version?
No. Padella is for iPhone and iPad.
Padella warns me about http.
Your address isn't encrypted, so your token could be read on the way. Padella still works. See home servers on plain http.
How do I remove my data?
Settings, then Sign out, removes your server, token and saved recipes from the device. Deleting the app removes the rest. Everything Padella keeps lives on your device and your own server; there is nothing on our side to delete. Details in the privacy policy.
