ChefExtract detects the link from your clipboard automatically. One tap on Extract.
Cook from your cookbook
The recipe is saved with ingredients, steps, prep + cook time, and a link back to the original video.
Built for YouTube cooking videos
Not just another link parser.
Reads the video — not just the description
Descriptions are often missing the actual quantities. ChefExtract analyses the video frames, on-screen text overlays, and audio narration to capture what the creator actually says.
Clean ingredient lists
Structured measurements, not 'a glug of oil and a handful of pasta.' Edit anything you want before saving.
Cook offline
Once saved, recipes live on your phone. No internet, no autoplay, no scrolling — just the recipe.
Credit the creator
Every saved recipe keeps a link back to the original YouTube video so you can rewatch, comment, or follow.
