Link-to-Structured-Recipe

Turn Xiaohongshu and TikTok cooking videos into step-by-step recipes with timers

Problem

Cooking along with a video is chaos: the phone is propped by the stove, greasy fingers mean knuckle-tapping pause, missing a step means scrubbing back and overshooting, and "soy sauce to taste" sends you digging through comments. A 10-minute video takes 30 minutes, and next time you can't even find the video again.

Solution

Paste a share link and the app recognizes it, converting the video or note into a structured recipe: ingredients and quantities up top, ordered steps below, and timed steps flagged with one-tap timers; screenshots, gallery videos and plain text are also accepted, and saved recipes are reusable.

Users

Home cooks who learn from short videos, beginners, and people who repeat the same dishes often

MVP

iOS only; paste-link extraction into structured recipes; ingredients separated from steps; per-step timers; local save and search; skip community, comments and cloud accounts

Revenue

Free quota of 5 recipes plus a subscription for unlimited extraction and advanced parsing; or a one-time Pro unlock.

Why now

Short video became the default way to learn cooking but is a bad format to cook alongside; multimodal models can now reliably turn video steps into structured text, so a single-platform app can close the loop.
