## What is Pinch?

Pinch is a personal recipe kitchen for home cooks. Save recipes from YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, a website, a cookbook page, or a photo of the dish — then cook from a clean card instead of a social-video feed.

Snap a link or photo and Pinch extracts ingredients, steps, time, and servings. Guess the recipe when there is no written recipe — a best-guess home version, clearly labeled so you can check it before you cook. Your library stays private. This is not a social network.

• Snap: paste or share a URL, or photograph a written recipe
• Guess the recipe: invent a home version from a dish photo or food post
• Library: search, tags, collections, favorites, Cook tonight, Fridge match
• Recipe card: scale servings, metric/imperial, substitutions, AI remix, translation, Repair
• Cook along: play the source video beside the steps, or Cook mode with timers
• Kitchen defaults: diet, swaps, and pantry staples — optional auto-adapt on new extracts
• PDF cookbook: turn saved recipes into a printable book
• Shopping list: add ingredients, group by aisle, skip what you already keep
• Guest: try a few extractions without an account (sign in to save and sync)
• Signed-in: sync across devices, 15 free credits each calendar month (UTC), optional purchased credits that never expire

Fridge match ranks recipes you already saved from a photo of your fridge or counter — it does not invent new dishes. Videos longer than 3 minutes are skipped unless the recipe is in the caption.

Languages: English, Spanish, Hebrew, Russian, and Arabic (RTL for Hebrew and Arabic). Recipes can be translated on demand. Age 4+.
