Share a recipe or restaurant video to Saved and you don't have to dig through three apps to find the one you wanted last week. Saved pulls out the ingredients and steps for recipes, and pins the location for restaurants and cafรฉs. What you can save Recipes, restaurants, cafรฉs, and food links from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and most things you can hit "share" on. How it works 1. Share a recipe reel, video, or link to Saved. 2. Saved reads it. Recipes get ingredients and step-by-step instructions. Restaurants and cafรฉs get pinned on a map. 3. Open Saved when you're cooking or trying to remember the name of that ramen place. Why I built this My wife saves a lot of recipes โ€” Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, all of it. When she actually wanted to cook something, she could rarely find it again. So I built Saved. It's also for me, because she gets mad at me when she can't find things. Saved Plus Saved is free. Saved Plus is an in-app purchase that unlocks unlimited saves and faster parsing.
