By default, only the Gemini provider is included. To use other LLM providers:

pip install "uncluttered[openai]"      # For OpenAI
pip install "uncluttered[anthropic]"   # For Anthropic Claude
pip install "uncluttered[ollama]"      # For Ollama (local)
pip install "uncluttered[all]"         # All providers

Or install from source:

git clone https://github.com/brendaninnis/uncluttered-cli.git
cd uncluttered-cli
pip install -e .

Setup

You'll need API keys for a search provider and an LLM provider:

1. LLM (AI extraction) — choose one:
   • Gemini (default): https://aistudio.google.com/apikey
   • OpenAI: https://platform.openai.com/api-keys
   • Anthropic: https://console.anthropic.com/settings/keys
   • Ollama: https://ollama.com (runs locally, no API key needed)
2. Tavily (recipe search): https://tavily.com (free tier available)

Create a .env file in your working directory:

cp .env.example .env

Then use a text editor to update the file with your keys:

# Choose your LLM provider (default: gemini)
LLM_PROVIDER=gemini

# Only the key for your chosen provider is required:
GEMINI_API_KEY=your-gemini-key
# OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-key
# ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-anthropic-key

# For Ollama: no API key needed, just set LLM_PROVIDER=ollama and LLM_MODEL
# LLM_MODEL=llama3.1

TAVILY_API_KEY=your-tavily-key

Trust Scores

Each recipe gets an AI-assessed trust score (0-100) reflecting how reliably it would produce a good result. The LLM evaluates recipes holistically, considering measurement precision, instruction completeness, source credibility, and whether the techniques make culinary sense.

• 85-100: Exceptional — precise, well-tested, confidently recommended
• 65-84: Solid — clear and complete with minor gaps
• 45-64: Adequate — functional but vague in places
• Below 45: Unreliable — significant gaps or questionable techniques

Recipes are sorted by trust score, so the best ones appear first.

Data Storage

Recipes are saved locally in ~/.local/share/uncluttered/uncluttered.db (SQLite).
