Save recipes from Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube, recipe sites, and paper cards. Every cooking video becomes a written recipe in one searchable cookbook.
So at 6pm you scroll past four hundred saved videos, give up, and cook the same pasta you always cook.
From saved video to cooked dinner
Paste one link, bulk-import a saved list, or scan a paper card from your kitchen.
AI reads the caption, the description, and the audio, then writes out the ingredients and steps.
Search by ingredient, cook from the card, and hand the same cookbook to your assistant for the weekly plan.
Connect ReelsMeals to your assistant over MCP. It reads the recipes you've actually saved, plans dinners you'll actually cook, and builds the shopping list, with every suggestion linked back to the original recipe and creator. Included in every paid plan.
Use my ReelsMeals cookbook. Plan five weeknight dinners from recipes I saved but haven't cooked yet. Keep them under 35 minutes and reuse ingredients where you can. Give me the plan, a shopping list, and a link back to each original recipe.
https://reelsmeals.com/api/mcpTurn the recipes you already saved into a balanced week in one prompt, or build it yourself in the planner.
Every plan rolls up into one list, with duplicate ingredients merged so you shop the whole week at once.
Cards keep the original link, creator, ingredients, steps, and cooked history, so answers point back to the source.
You approve each permission up front and can disconnect any assistant from Settings. Access stops immediately.
“Like many, I had recipes scattered across social media and beyond, and most of them ended up forgotten. ReelsMeals solves that chaos: by bringing inspiration into one place, you can turn saved recipes into shared meals, and eat better together.”
I used to sort through screenshots and vague bookmarks to cook something I saw once. It was so frustrating I just gave up and made the same thing again.
Now I can finally pull up any saved recipe instantly, without having to watch a video trying to figure out the recipe. It's like I have my own personal cookbook.

ReelsMeals is a recipe app that builds a cookbook out of the recipes you already saved and never cooked. Paste a Reel, TikTok, YouTube link, blog post, or a photo of a paper card, and you get back a recipe card with the ingredients, the steps, and a link to the original. Everything ends up in one place you can actually search.
Paste the link. That is the whole thing.
ReelsMeals reads the caption, the description, and the spoken audio, then pulls out ingredients, steps, timings, and the creator's name. If the creator never said an amount out loud, it will not be on the card, so the original video stays one tap away.
Yes, with your phone camera or by uploading images. It reads handwriting as well as print, so your grandmother's recipe card works.
Recipes that span two pages are fine, add each page as a separate photo and they merge into one card. Your free imports work for scans too, and paid plans scan without limits.
Save as many recipes as you like, and import 3 of your own links or scans. No card needed, and failed imports don't count. Unlimited imports, bulk import, editing, search, meal plans and agent access are €7.99/month, €79.90/year, or €159 once as a Founding Member while the 50 spots last.
Your cookbook connects to Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP clients by adding one server URL and approving the permissions in your browser. No API key, no config file.
The assistant can then search your recipes, open them in full, plan a week of dinners, and build a shopping list, all from food you already chose to save rather than suggestions it invented. Connecting an assistant comes with every paid plan.
ReelsMeals runs in the browser, and you can install it to your home screen from Chrome or Safari for an app-like experience.
On Android you can share a link straight from Instagram or YouTube into ReelsMeals. On iOS you have to copy and paste, because Apple does not support share targets for installed web apps yet.
Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube videos and Shorts, Facebook Reels and posts, photos of paper recipes, and over 350 recipe sites and blogs. Pinterest is next.
Missing a site you use? Email [email protected] and I will look at adding it.
Bookmarks store a link. Two months later you cannot remember which of the four hundred had the honey glaze, and searching them is impossible because there is no text to search.
The other recipe apps mostly help you save the next recipe, one share sheet at a time. ReelsMeals will take your existing backlog in bulk, including an Instagram data export, and turn all of it into searchable cards at once.
It happens, most often with voice-only videos and oddly formatted pages. The original link stays attached to every card so you can check it, and on a paid plan every card is editable. Send me the URL and what looked wrong and I can usually improve it for next time.
Cancel anytime from your billing portal and you won't be charged again. If ReelsMeals isn't for you, email me within 30 days of paying and I will refund you in full.
Saving recipes costs nothing, and your account includes 3 imports of your own links. One plan unlocks the rest.
