You find the perfect dinner in a TikTok, and by next week it is buried under a hundred other videos. Chefless fixes that. Paste a link or share the post, and it reads the recipe, pulls out the ingredients and steps, and drops a clean, editable copy into your private recipe book.

Chefless reads the recipe
It reads the recipe website's own data, or the post's caption, and pulls out the title, ingredients, steps, servings, and cook times for you.
03
Review, then save
The recipe opens pre-filled. Fix anything that looks off, then save it to your book. Nothing is saved until you do, so you stay in control.
What it pulls out
Ingredients, steps, and the details in between.
A caption is a wall of text with a recipe hiding inside it. Chefless does the reading and hands you a proper recipe: quantities lined up, steps in order, and the servings and timing filled in when the post mentions them. No copy and paste, no retyping at the stove.
- Every ingredient with its quantity and unit
- Steps in order, cleaned up and numbered
- Servings, prep time, and cook time when the source lists them
- Cuisine and dietary tags applied automatically
Yours to keep
From a saved link to your kitchen table.
An imported recipe is a real Chefless recipe, private to you and yours to change. Rescale it for four, tweak a step, add a note. When you want to cook it with other people, share it into a Kitchen or drop it onto the weekly plan and it turns into a grocery list on its own.
- Lands in your private recipe book with the source link kept
- Edit, rescale, and tag it like any recipe you wrote yourself
- Share it to a Kitchen or add it to the shared weekly schedule
Free to start, and honest about it.

Saving recipes, answered.
How do I save a recipe from TikTok?
In TikTok, tap Share and choose Chefless, or copy the video link and paste it into Import in your recipe book. Chefless reads the post's caption, pulls out the ingredients and steps, and opens a ready-to-edit recipe. When the recipe is written in the caption, it comes across cleanly.
Does it work with Instagram and other apps?
Yes. You can import from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest, and Facebook, as well as any recipe website or blog. Share the post to Chefless or paste the link, and it reads the recipe from the page's own data or from the post's caption.
Can I import from a screenshot or a photo?
Chefless reads text, not images, so it does not scan a screenshot on its own. If you have a screenshot or a photo of a recipe, paste or type the caption or ingredient list into the import box and Chefless will structure it into a clean, editable recipe for you.
Is AI recipe import free?
Yes, importing is part of the free Chefless app. Free accounts keep up to five recipes, imports included, with a daily import limit. A subscription removes the recipe cap, raises the daily limit, and unlocks unlimited Kitchens and year in review exports.
What if the AI gets a detail wrong?
You always review the recipe before it saves. The import opens the recipe pre-filled, so you can fix a quantity, reword a step, or rescale the servings, and nothing lands in your book until you tap save.
