## What is BiteVault?

You save a place from a video and then never find it again. BiteVault fixes that.

Share a TikTok, a Reel, a Google Maps link or a restaurant's own website, and the venue lands as a pin on your own map. So when you are standing somewhere new at lunchtime, you already know what is close.

YOUR OWN FOOD MAP
Every place you save becomes a pin. Eight venue types with their own markers: restaurants, cafes, bakeries, bars, delis, dessert spots, street food and more. Tap the locate button and the map centres on where you are, so anything you saved nearby is right there. Tick off places you have visited, mark favourites, filter by what is open now, and switch between cities. Works across 20+ international metros, so your Tokyo list is ready before you land.

RECIPES, EXTRACTED FOR YOU
Share a cooking video and AI pulls out the full recipe: ingredients, step by step instructions, tags and a calorie estimate. It saves to your Vault the moment the import finishes, and a notification tells you when it is done so you can keep scrolling in the meantime. Recipe websites and pasted text work too.

"TOP 5" VIDEOS, HANDLED
Shared a roundup covering five venues at once? BiteVault detects it, extracts every venue, and lets you pick which ones to import in one go.

COLLECTIONS YOU CAN PUBLISH
Group places or recipes into a Collection and publish it as one link. Anyone who opens it saves their own copy, and when you add or remove something they get told. Useful for a city guide, a coffee list, or planning a trip with someone.

ALLERGEN AWARENESS, PLEASE READ
BiteVault scans extracted recipes for common allergens and includes a four tier gluten confidence rating that deliberately errs on the side of caution. It was built by someone whose partner has coeliac disease.

Important: allergen detection is assistive, not medical advice. AI can be wrong, and video captions do not always tell the whole story. Always verify ingredients yourself before cooking or eating, especially if you have an allergy or intolerance.

BUILT FOR ACTUAL COOKING
- Offline cook mode: recipes are cached on your device, so the method does not vanish when the kitchen Wi-Fi does
- Recipe scaling: cooking for two or for ten, quantities adjust
- Shopping list and meal planner, kept on your device
- Shared vaults: one shared library with a partner, sitting alongside your own

SIMPLE AND PRIVATE
- Sign in with Google or Apple, no new password to remember
- Your Vault is yours: no ads, no selling your data
- Dark and light themes, ten accent colours

Stop losing the good stuff to your saved videos graveyard. Share a video, and it is saved to your Vault.
