Save recipes in one place, wherever they come from
Move recipes out of bookmarks, screenshots and cookbooks and into one collected library, ready to plan and to shop.
One recipe in an open tab, one in a screenshot, one in a cookbook on the shelf. When it's time to cook, you find none of them. Saving recipes is about pulling them all into the same place, so the one you liked is still there when you want to make it. Each source works a little differently, and the pages below show how each one goes.
How it works
- Find where the recipe lives. A link from a food site, a post on Instagram or TikTok, or a page in a cookbook. Where it sits decides how you bring it in.
- Paste or photograph the source. Paste the link and the app reads the title, ingredients and steps. A cookbook page you photograph instead, and the text gets read for you.
- Save it into your library. The recipe lands clean and searchable among your others, ready to drop onto the week's plan and follow through to the shopping list.
From link to saved recipe

Creamy pasta with spinach
- Ingredients: pasta, cream, spinach, garlic, parmesan
- 1. Cook the pasta al dente
- 2. Soften the garlic, add cream and spinach
- 3. Toss in the pasta and top with parmesan
Why it helps
- Every recipe in one place instead of scattered across tabs and screenshots.
- A clean recipe with title, ingredients and steps, not a wall of text around it.
- What you save is ready to plan and to shop right away, the whole loop stays connected.
The sources behave differently
Matredo does not save everything the exact same way. Links from food sites are free and go fastest. Instagram and TikTok work best in the app. Photographing a cookbook page needs Premium. That's why each source has its own page showing exactly how it goes.
Where the recipe comes from
| Source | How | Works best |
|---|---|---|
| Recipe website link | Paste the link, parsed automatically | Anywhere, free |
| Instagram or TikTok post | Paste the link to the post | In the app |
| Cookbook or photo | Snap the page, the text is read | In the app, Premium |
Frequently asked questions
Which sources can I save recipes from?
Links from food sites, posts on Instagram and TikTok, and pages from cookbooks or your own photos. Each source has its own page showing how it goes, because they behave a little differently.
Does saving recipes cost anything?
Saving from a plain link is free. Instagram and TikTok are free too and work best in the app. Photographing a cookbook page and reading the text is part of Premium.
Do I get a clean recipe or just a blob of text?
The app reads the title, ingredients and steps and saves them separately. You get a clean recipe to cook from, not the whole article with images and backstory.
What if the reading gets something wrong?
You can always edit the title, ingredients and steps afterwards. The reading gives you a draft to start from, and everything stays editable once the recipe opens saved with your others.
Can the whole household see what I save?
Yes. Recipes are shared across the household, so everyone sees the same library and can add their own favourites. What you save together grows into one shared collection.
