Save Recipes Shared on Facebook
Facebook is where your aunt posts the holiday casserole, where your neighbor swears by their slow-cooker chili, and where a thousand recipe pages drop new ideas every day. Recimarry pulls recipes from public Facebook posts and turns them into clean recipes you can find again.
Android version coming soon.
The Facebook recipe problem
Facebook is the worst place to keep a recipe. Posts get buried in the feed within hours. The "Save" feature exists, but going back to it is like opening a junk drawer. By the time you want to make the chili, you can't find the post — and the post itself is probably a 600-word story about the author's road trip to Texas.
Recimarry pulls the recipe out and gives it a permanent home with ingredients and steps separated.
How it works
- Open the Facebook post in the Facebook app. Public posts, your own posts, and posts in public groups work best.
- Tap Share, then Recimarry. Recimarry shows up in your share sheet. (First time? Scroll the share sheet, tap "More," and enable Recimarry.)
- Recimarry reads the post text and turns it into a structured recipe with ingredients and steps separated.
- Save to your library. The original post link is kept with the recipe.
Heads up: Facebook is more restrictive than the other platforms. Posts in private groups, posts from friends with strict privacy settings, and login-walled content can't be read. Two workarounds cover most of these cases:
- Recipe is text: copy the recipe from the post and use Recimarry's Add from text option.
- Recipe is an image (a photo of a recipe card, handwritten card, or screenshot): take a screenshot of the post and use Recimarry's Add from image option — Recimarry reads the text directly from the image.
Why Recimarry over Facebook saves
- Recipes don't disappear in the feed. A saved recipe in Recimarry doesn't sink behind a thousand new posts.
- Searchable. Find a recipe by ingredient or tag instead of scrolling Facebook's "Saved" folder.
- Structured. Ingredients and steps are separated cleanly — no more 600-word road trip story before the recipe.
- Shoppable. Saved recipes feed one shopping list, grouped by aisle.
- Private. Sharing a post to Recimarry doesn't post anything to your timeline or notify the original poster.
Frequently asked questions
Why doesn't it work for some Facebook posts?
Facebook restricts a lot of content. Posts in private groups, posts from friends with restricted privacy settings, and login-walled content can't be read by Recimarry. Public posts and public group posts work.
What about recipes shared in a private Facebook group?
Private group posts aren't accessible. Workaround: copy the recipe text from the post and use Recimarry's "Add from text" option instead — it works the same way once the text is in the app.
Does it work for Facebook video recipes?
It works best for text-and-image posts where the recipe is written out. Video recipes on Facebook are less reliable — try the post description, or use "Add from text" if you have the recipe written elsewhere.
What if the recipe is shown as an image in the Facebook post?
Take a screenshot of the post and use Recimarry's "Add from image" option. Recimarry reads the text directly from the image — useful for recipe cards, handwritten recipes, or posts where the only content is a picture.
Will my friends see that I saved their recipe?
No. Sharing a post to Recimarry is private — it doesn't notify anyone or post anything to your timeline.
Is it free?
Yes. Every new user gets 40+ free recipe imports to try the app out — no subscription, no monthly cap.
