Save recipes from TikTok without typing them out
Paste the link to a TikTok, and Matredo reads the post's text and saves the recipe where you keep the rest.
You spot a dinner that looks perfect in your feed, save it among a thousand other likes, and never find it again. TikTok is full of good recipes and terrible at keeping them. Paste the link instead, and the app pulls the text the creator wrote under the video and files the recipe where you actually cook.
How it works
- Copy the link in TikTok. Tap Share in TikTok and choose Copy link. It works the same from the app or the web.
- Paste the link into Matredo. Drop the link in when you save a new recipe. The app reads the post's text and fills in the title, ingredients and steps for you.
- Open it and fine-tune. The recipe saves with the others, title, ingredients and steps. Open it, give the lines a quick check and add anything that's missing, ready for the week's plan.
From link to saved recipe
TikTok link: tiktok.com/@thekitchen/video/... (recipe in the caption)
Saved recipe from the caption
- Creamy sun-dried tomato pasta
- 1 1/4 cups cream
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 garlic cloves
Why it helps
- The dinner you liked lands with your recipes instead of a forgotten saved folder.
- The ingredients follow onto the shopping list, grouped by item.
- The creator's own amounts and steps stay put, just as they wrote them.
When the TikTok text isn't enough
Matredo reads the text the creator wrote in the post's caption, not what's spoken in the video. If the whole recipe is in the caption, it comes through complete. If the caption is one line and it's all narrated out loud, there's little to pull, so you fill in the last lines yourself with a tap. We never claim to transcribe speech, we read what's written.
Depends on where the recipe lives
| Where the recipe is | Recipe in the caption | Recipe only in the video |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | Title, ingredients and steps | The title and whatever's written |
| What to do | Open it and fine-tune | Fill in the last lines yourself |
| Time | Almost none | A minute or two extra |
Frequently asked questions
Does the app read what's said in the video?
No. Matredo reads the text the creator wrote under the clip, not the audio. If the recipe is in the caption it comes through complete, otherwise you fill in the rest yourself.
Which link should I use?
The link you get from Share and Copy link in TikTok. Both the long links and the short vm links work.
What if something comes out wrong?
The recipe opens saved with your others and you can edit the title, ingredients and steps right there. If a line is off, a couple of taps fix it.
Does saving from TikTok cost anything?
No, saving recipes from links is free. You paste, read it through and plan the week without paying.
