About us
Swappetite isn't a company: it's a personal project that grew.
How it started
Swappetite was born when I was starting my transition to veganism. I'm a developer, so I decided to build myself a tool to make it easier.
What I struggled with most at first was that I had a few basic ingredients at home and was always missing one for the recipes I wanted to make. I thought maybe some of the missing ones could be replaced with others I did have. I started researching and found out it wasn't just possible: it was normal and very doable. So I built Swappetite, for myself.
Then I realized it could help other people too, and I shared it with a vegan community. Some people loved it and others didn't find it useful, and both answers helped me. Since then it has grown in features and in places: today it has its own website and it's on the App Store and Google Play.

My commitments
- Free, no ads. Swappetite has no ads and no paid features.
- 100% vegan. Every recipe, no exceptions. If you see something that doesn't look vegan, let me know and I'll check it.
- Reviewed by hand. Every recipe is reviewed before it's published, including the ones the community submits.
- Respect for your data. The mobile apps use no analytics, and the website only counts visits, without cookies. You can delete your account at any time from the app itself. All the details are in the Privacy Policy.
Where the recipes come from
- Vegan cooking creators who have given me permission to publish their recipes. Each recipe carries their name.
- Openly licensed cookbooks, like a 1910 cookbook that is now in the public domain, adapted to today's ingredients and measurements, or Creative Commons cookbooks, always credited.
- The community: anyone can submit a recipe from the app, and it's published after review.
