Save Recipes from TikTok — Without Pausing, Rewinding, or Screenshotting
TikTok is full of incredible cooking videos. Following one while you actually cook is another story. Recimarry reads the caption and the spoken transcript, then turns them into a clean text recipe — ingredients, steps, and a shopping list — in seconds.
Android version coming soon.
The TikTok recipe problem
You scroll past a 45-second pasta video that looks perfect for tonight. You save it. A week later, you open your saves to actually cook it — and now you're scrubbing back and forth trying to catch the ratio of garlic to butter while your pan smokes.
TikTok is great for inspiration. It's bad for execution. Recipes scroll by too fast to follow, ingredient lists are in the caption or a pinned comment (or nowhere), and your camera roll fills up with blurry screenshots of measurements.
Recimarry fixes the middle step: turning a video into something you can cook from.
How it works
- Open the TikTok video in the TikTok app — a cooking video where the recipe is in the caption, or where the creator narrates the steps out loud.
- Tap Share, then Recimarry. Recimarry shows up in your share sheet alongside Messages, Notes, and the rest. (First time using it? Scroll the share sheet, tap "More," and enable Recimarry.)
- Wait a few seconds. Recimarry reads the caption and the video's spoken transcript, then organizes them into ingredients and step-by-step instructions.
- Save to your library. The original TikTok link is kept with the recipe so you can rewatch any time.
From there, you can tag the recipe, organize it into a collection, generate a shopping list, or share it with friends.
Why Recimarry over a screenshot or a saved video
- Searchable. Find recipes by ingredient, tag, or name — screenshots and saved videos give you neither.
- Structured. Ingredients and steps are separated into clean sections you can actually cook from, not a wall of caption text.
- Shoppable. Every saved recipe contributes to a single grocery list, grouped by aisle.
- Permanent. If the TikTok video gets deleted, your saved recipe stays.
- One place for everything. TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, websites — all your recipes live in the same library.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work for every TikTok cooking video?
It works when the recipe is in the caption, or when the creator narrates the recipe out loud — Recimarry reads the video's spoken transcript too. Silent aesthetic videos with no caption can't be turned into a recipe; there's nothing in text form to extract.
What if the recipe is only in the comments?
TikTok's share sheet sends the video URL and caption, not comment text. If the recipe lives in a pinned comment, copy that text and paste it into Recimarry's "Add from text" option instead.
Do I need a TikTok account?
Only to access TikTok videos in the first place. Recimarry doesn't need a TikTok login — it just receives whatever the TikTok share sheet hands it.
Does Recimarry also work with Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts?
Yes. The same Share-to-Recimarry flow works for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Pinterest, Facebook, and regular recipe websites.
Is it free?
Yes. Every new user gets 40+ free recipe imports to try the app out — no subscription, no monthly cap.
