Turn a video's description and transcript into a clean recipe with ingredients and steps.
First time sharing to Recimarry?
1. Tap Share2. Tap “More…”3. Swipe to the end, tap “More”4. Choose Recimarry
Open the YouTube video in the YouTube app — long form or YouTube Shorts both work.
Tap Share, then Recimarry. Recimarry shows up in your share sheet. (First time? Scroll the share sheet, tap "More," and enable Recimarry.)
Recimarry combines the best sources. The description usually has the formatted ingredient list. The transcript usually has the actual cooking steps. Recimarry combines them, so you get the structured ingredients from the description and the real steps from the audio. For shorter videos with neither, Recimarry can watch the video itself as a fallback.
Save to your library. The original YouTube link is kept with the recipe.
Good news — this is just the first time. Once you've shared to Recimarry once, iOS shows it right in the share sheet, so next time you can skip the “swipe to the end → More” steps and tap Recimarry directly. To pin it to the top for good, open the Apps list, tap Edit, and add Recimarry to your Favorites.
Good to know
Description and transcript are combined, so the formatted ingredient list and the spoken steps end up in one recipe.
Works best for videos up to 15 minutes. The description/transcript path has no length limit; the video-watching fallback only runs on shorter videos.
Shorts use the same flow. Videos with no captions fall back to the description, then to watching the video.
Non-English videos work — Recimarry fetches the matching transcript track.
