01 / KEEP THE RECIPE, LOSE THE REWINDING
Your next favourite starts with a video.
ChefScribe turns the available recipe details from a YouTube cooking video into a clear card, so you can spend less time taking notes.
- Ingredients and quantities in one place
- Ordered instructions and available cooking timings
- Translate ingredients and instructions into English
- A link back to the original video and creator
Works best with clearly explained recipes and a usable transcript. YouTube Shorts are not supported.
02 / A COLLECTION YOU’LL ACTUALLY USE
Less “where did I save that?”
More cooking it again.
Give your favourite recipes a home, instead of losing them in a jumble of bookmarks.
- Save recipe cards to your personal library
- Group your recipes into folders
- Add tags and star ratings
- Search your saved collection

A FEW USEFUL DETAILS
Before you get cooking
Will every YouTube video work?
No. Extraction needs suitable recipe information in the available transcript. Videos without enough spoken detail may produce incomplete cards. YouTube Shorts are not supported. Always check ingredients and instructions against the original.
Which features are free and which are Pro?
ChefScribe has Free and Pro plans. Check the pricing page for current allowances and what each plan includes.
Compare plans →Are the nutrition figures exact?
No. Nutrition is estimated from the available ingredient and serving information. Missing quantities or substitutions can affect the result. Check source information carefully if you have specific dietary needs.
Does ChefScribe replace the original creator’s video?
No. Recipe cards retain the source link, so you can return to the creator for techniques, demonstrations and context.
Can I download the iPhone app?
Not yet — the iPhone app is coming soon. The Chrome extension and web app are available now.
