The problemThe cooking was never the problem. Finding it again is.
You save recipes from Instagram and TikTok all the time. Then the night you want one, it is gone: buried in a saved folder with a hundred others, or in a screenshot, or in a post you cannot find again. Yumzi keeps every recipe you saved where you can find it again, with the real recipe read out of the video, so it is there when you want to cook.
The insight
The recipe is in the video. That is the problem.
The steps flash past. The amounts are only in what the creator said, if they are written anywhere at all. The recipe you wanted is trapped inside a minute of video.
Ingredients found Amounts counted Steps written down
Right now, your recipes live everywhere.
Nobody uses just one of these. A screenshot here, a bookmark there, a note somewhere, and the one you want tonight is in none of them. Yumzi reads every one of them into a real recipe, so the one you want tonight is the one you get.
The mechanism
It reads the video, not the caption.
Audio transcribed. On-screen text caught. Amounts counted from what is visible. This recipe lives in sixty seconds of narrated video. Yumzi turned it into the full recipe on the right.
Yumzi catches the details you’d miss.
The dish you saw, from the creator you chose.
Every recipe comes from a creator you saved, credited and linked. Yumzi transcribes what is in the video. It never invents a dish. We transcribe. Creators cook. You eat. When it cannot read a recipe, it says so. It never guesses and hands you a different dinner.

Why we built it
Every Sunday my saved folder had more dinners in it than we cooked all year. 200 reels. We ordered pizza again. So we built the thing that opens the folder: it reads every reel, deals a week, and writes the list.

“pffff, ik heb denk ik wel duizend recepten opgeslagen. Misschien een stuk of tien echt gekookt”

“Hoeveel opgeslagen recepten ik heb? 100 misschien? Gekookt? Misschien 2. Het is gedoe”

“De video's zijn altijd te snel en ik heb geen zin om het 20x terug te kijken. Ik wil gewoon lekker eten.”

Get the shopping list
Cooking a few? They become one shopping list, with duplicate ingredients merged and what is already in your kitchen left off. It is in the order you walk the shop, so you get everything in one trip.
What people actually ask forThe things people want from a recipe app. We already do them.
Read it out of any video or recipe page
Send a recipe video from Instagram, TikTok or YouTube, or a link to a recipe page. Yumzi reads it into a full recipe, even a video with no caption.
Fix a misread in a tap
It never invents a recipe. On the rare miss, you correct it yourself in a tap, so what you cook is what the creator made.
One shopping list
Every recipe you cook becomes one shopping list, merged and in the order you walk the shop.
Share with your household
Share your recipes with the people you cook with, and invite them into your household.
Scale the portions
Cooking for two or for six? Scale a recipe and the amounts follow, with a nudge on the salt and spice.
Find any recipe again
And as your library grows: search, tags and folders, so a recipe you saved is never lost again.
The list
One list, nothing forgotten.
The recipes you are cooking become one shopping list. Duplicate ingredients merge into a single line, and what is already in your kitchen comes off it. It is in the order you walk the shop, so nothing sends you back.

Fair questions.
Is this AI-generated food?
No. Yumzi never invents a dish. Every recipe comes from a real creator you chose to save. The AI does one job: it reads the video, audio and on-screen text, so the recipe arrives exactly as the creator made it.
What does it cost?
Free during early access. When pricing arrives we show it before anything changes, and the free tier stays genuinely usable.
I cook alone. Is this for me?
Yes. Yumzi reads your saved videos into real recipes and turns the ones you cook into one shopping list, all for one person. If you cook with someone, one link puts you at the same table, but that is a feature, not a requirement.
When can I get in?
iPhone first, Android next. Leave your email and we will tell you the moment you can get in.
