[iOS] ReciReel — save a cooking video, get the actual written recipe out of it

Made this, so obvious bias, but the problem is real enough that I think it's worth posting.

Everyone saves cooking videos. Nobody cooks from them. The video is a terrible format for actually standing at a hob with your hands covered in something, and a lot of creators never write the recipe down anywhere at all.

ReciReel takes a shared video from Instagram, TikTok, Facebook or YouTube and writes the recipe out properly. Amounts, steps in order, timings, nutrition per serving including net carbs, equipment list.

It reads what's happening in the video rather than just the caption, which matters more than it sounds like it should, because so many captions are just "recipe below 👇" and then there's nothing below.

Free tier is 3 imports then 1 a month, so you can see if it's any good without paying. iPhone, iOS 18+, US store.

If anyone here has tried the other apps in this space I'd be interested in what made you stop using them. That's more useful to me than praise.
