Why I made it
My mom had recipes scattered all over the internet. I built her an app to keep them in one place, and to follow along step by step while she cooks.

Under the hood
17 API routes, each using the cheapest model that can do the job well. Claude Haiku handles quick, simple tasks like pulling a recipe out of text. Claude Sonnet handles the harder ones, like reading handwriting from a photo or writing a recipe from scratch. The trickiest input is a cooking video: the recipe is usually in the caption, and when it isn't, the app listens to the audio.
The interface
Next.js + TypeScript
AI calls run on the server, so no API keys ever reach the browser.
Every screen
Responsive layout
Designed for phones first, because you use it at the counter with your hands full.
Paste a link
Apify
Picks the right scraper for TikTok, Instagram or Facebook, and grabs the post's caption, where the recipe usually is.
No caption
Groq · Whisper large v3 turbo
No caption? It transcribes the video's audio instead. Files over 24MB are skipped to stay under Groq's limit.
Make it structured
Claude Haiku 4.5
Turns messy captions into ingredients and steps, and swaps single ingredients. Simple jobs, done cheaply.
Judgment calls
Claude Sonnet 4.6
The harder jobs: reading handwriting from a photo, writing a recipe from a craving, and adapting one to new limits.
Keep it
Supabase
Accounts, saved lists, favourites, and share links people can save into their own account.
Go buy it
Serper · Google Maps
Finds shops near you that carry what's on your list, each linked to Google Maps.
What it does
Give it a link, a photo, or a video from Instagram or TikTok, and it turns it into a clean recipe. Cooking mode shows one step at a time, so you can swipe through with busy hands. It can also create a recipe from a craving, suggest swaps for missing ingredients, and adapt a recipe to what's in your cupboard. You choose what goes on the grocery list, and it finds nearby shops that carry it. Built phone-first, because almost everyone cooks with their phone in hand.
The rest of it
It's a full product, not a demo: accounts, saved lists, favourites, and share links that save straight into someone else's account. That's the feature that got my family passing recipes around.
