Wecipe: Recipe Importer
Wecipe - Recipe Importer is an iPhone app that turns cooking videos from TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts into structured, readable recipes. Users simply paste a video link, and AI extracts ingredients, quantities, step-by-step instructions, and cooking times. The app automatically saves the imported recipe for offline access, allowing cooks to revisit it anytime without losing the original video. Beyond importing, Wecipe provides a hands-free Cooking Mode with step-by-step guidance, automatic timers, and a screen that stays on. A Smart Grocery List feature merges ingredients from multiple recipes, grouping them by category (produce, dairy, meat, etc.) to avoid duplicates and streamline shopping. Portion adjustment lets users scale recipes with a single tap, automatically recalculating all ingredient amounts. Wecipe includes a free tier with one recipe import per week, while Wecipe Pro (via in-app purchase) unlocks unlimited cooking mode, the smart grocery list, advanced saving, and ingredient merging. The app organizes recipes into collections called Webooks, supports search, and allows editing of titles and collection names. Occasional updates add features like calorie tracking and estimated meal costs. Designed for home cooks who frequently discover recipes on social media, Wecipe solves the problem of forgotten videos by creating a permanent, searchable personal cookbook. All recipe data is stored locally, enabling use even without an internet connection.
