Sound familiar?
Your Saved folder is a graveyard of dinners you never made.
“What was that sauce again?”
Three weeks of feed between you and the video, and the caption just says “recipe in comments”.
Screenshots aren't recipes.
You can't scale a screenshot, shop from it, or read it with wet hands and a pan on the heat.
How it works
Share it. We watch it. You cook it.
Three steps, none of them typing. You never leave the app you found the recipe in.

Cook mode
One step at a time, in type you can read from across the bench.
Your phone stays on while your hands are covered in flour. Timers come straight out of the step text. Tap an ingredient inside a step to see how much you need. Put the phone down for an hour and it picks up where you left off.
1step per screen
The recipe page
Cooking for two or ten? Tap the number.
Photo, times, skill, who made it and a link to the original. Change the servings and every quantity rescales, fractions included. “To taste” stays “to taste”.
4 → 8and every amount follows
Grocery list
Two recipes need onions. Your list says onions once.
Add a recipe and the list writes itself. Each line remembers which recipe it came from, and the same ingredient from two recipes becomes one line. Tick things off in the aisle.

Why it works when others don't
We read the video, not just the caption.
Other apps read the caption. We read the caption, hear the voice and catch the text on screen. If the cook never says how much salt, we leave it blank. We'd rather show a gap than make up a number.

“My wife saves more cooking videos than anyone I know, and for years the recipes lived in screenshots and a Saved folder nobody opened. I wanted one place that turns the reel into a real recipe by the time the pan is hot, and that the whole house cooks from. So I built it for our kitchen. We cook from it five nights a week.”

Questions
Asked and answered.
Which apps does it work with?
Instagram Reels and posts, TikTok, YouTube (including Shorts), and recipe websites. You can also paste text or import from a photo of a recipe card or cookbook page.
What if the video doesn't list the ingredients?
That's our favourite kind. We transcribe what's spoken and read what's shown on screen. When something isn't in the video, we leave it blank rather than invent it, and you fill the gap in one tap.
What about private accounts?
We can only read what the platform shows publicly. If a post is private, the import tells you so and offers to take the recipe from text or a screenshot instead.
What counts as a video import?
Anything from Instagram, TikTok or YouTube. Importing from a website, a photo or pasted text is unlimited on every plan.
Who can see my recipes?
Recipes are public by default so others can discover them; make any recipe private with one switch. In a family group, everyone sees everyone's recipes, private ones included, so only invite people you live with.
Is there an Android app?
Recipes is on iPhone today. Share pages work in any browser, and Android is on the roadmap.
Stop screenshotting dinner. Start eating it.
