## What is Koku?

Save recipes from any video, in any language.

Paste a link from YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Pinterest, or any recipe website. Koku's AI extracts the full recipe in seconds — ingredients, steps, cook times, and nutrition — even from videos with no written recipe. Works with posts in 30+ languages, automatically translated to yours.

WORKS WHERE OTHERS FAIL
Recipe only spoken in the video with no caption? Koku extracts it. Post in Hindi, Korean, or Arabic? Translated automatically. Instagram reel with no recipe link? Koku handles it. We built the extraction engine to work with the content real food creators actually post — not just perfectly formatted recipe blogs.

COOK WITH VIDEO TIMESTAMPS
Open Cook Mode for a fullscreen step-by-step walkthrough with audio narration. Each step links to the exact moment in the YouTube video where that technique is shown. No more scrubbing back and forth — tap a timestamp and see exactly what the chef is doing.

EXPLORE THE WORLD, ONE DISH AT A TIME
Spin a stunning 3D globe. Tap a country. Discover trending recipe videos from real home cooks in Japan, Mexico, Nigeria, India, Korea, and 116 more countries. Every dish links directly to the original video — watch, learn, and save it to your collection in one tap. No other recipe app lets you explore cooking culture like this.

PLAN YOUR WEEK
Drag recipes onto a weekly meal plan. Koku builds your grocery list automatically, sorted by aisle. Edit quantities, check items off as you shop, and re-edit anytime from the recipe.

YOUR KITCHEN, ORGANIZED
Create custom cookbooks to organize recipes your way. Switch between metric and imperial with one tap. Full dark mode for late-night recipe browsing. Works in 30 languages — app, recipes, and everything in between.

BUILT FOR COOKS, NOT ADVERTISERS
No ads. No sponsored recipes. No data sold. Koku is an independent app built by someone who loves food and got tired of losing recipes in screenshot folders.
Free to try with 5 imports per month. Upgrade to Koku Pro for unlimited imports starting at $6.99/month.

### 5/5 — Impressed!

*2026-05-18*

I use FireFox browser and the share function did not bring up Koku. But I just copied the link for the recipe, opened Koku, gave permission to import it and the recipe was imported perfectly, beautifully and immediately. Love this app!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words and the heads up on the Firefox bug! An update just shipped  that fixes the share issue. Once you update to version 1.0.1, Koku will show up in the Firefox share menu just like it does in Safari. Glad you're enjoying the app!
