The problem isn't the recipes. It's where they end up.
The “Saved” folder you never open
Two hundred videos in a folder that is not a shopping list and not a cookbook.
The screenshot you can't find
Somewhere in the camera roll, between dog photos and a garage receipt. Good luck.
The video you rewind four times for one amount
Greasy hands, screen goes dark, and at 1:12 it says “a bit of pecorino”.
From the share button
Share the reel. Cucinario does the rest.
You're in Instagram, you tap Share and pick Cucinario. You don't leave the app: the recipe lands in your library while you keep scrolling.

Three steps and you're done.
Share the reel with Cucinario. The app does the rest: it reads the video, the caption and the audio, and turns them into a real recipe.

CookIngredients, amounts, steps
Cook mode
One step at a time, readable with messy hands.
The screen stays on, the type is large, and only the ingredients for that step are there. The timer is already set from the recipe.
- “Simmer 1h 45” becomes a timer, already set
- Only this step's ingredients, not the whole list
- It tells you when it's done, not just how long to wait
- Tap the speaker and Knobli reads the step out loud
Not only videos
Photograph the cookbook page.
Your grandmother's notebook, a page from a book, a handwritten sheet. Frame it, and it becomes a recipe with clear amounts.
What it actually does.
01
From any link
Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest and web pages. If there's a recipe in there, it finds it.
02
Amounts that scale
Change the servings and every quantity recalculates. Including the ones written in words.
03
One merged shopping list
Three recipes become one list by aisle: 1 carrot here plus 2 there reads “3 carrots”.
04
Weekly plan
Drag recipes onto days. The shopping list follows on its own.
05
Recipes in other languages
A reel in Italian or German becomes an English recipe, with units converted.
06
Timers that set themselves
“Simmer 12 minutes” becomes a running timer. You can keep several going at once.
07
Listen instead of reading
Tap the speaker: Knobli reads the step out loud while your hands are busy.
08
Discover new recipes
A free section of picked recipes: one pan, ready in 30 minutes, pasta night. One tap saves them to your library.

Questions
How does importing work?
Share the link with Cucinario from the share button. The app reads the video, the caption and the audio, and pulls out ingredients, amounts and steps. It takes about 15 seconds and you can close the app: it tells you when it's ready.
Does it work with every video?
With public posts on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Pinterest and with web pages. If the account is private or there's no recipe in the video, the app says so straight away and doesn't spend an import.
What if I don't renew?
Recipes you've saved stay readable and exportable. New imports stop, access to your library doesn't.
Is it a subscription?
Yes. One, yearly, €19.99. No higher tier, no features sold separately.
What about my data?
Sign in with Apple or Google, no ads, no data selling. The links you import are used to build your recipes and nothing else.
Does it work offline?
Yes, for reading and cooking what you've saved. Importing a new link needs a connection.
You already saved the videos. Now cook them.
Take the link to one recipe that's been sitting there for months and start with that.
No ads, no card. Just your recipes.
