Save and find any video by what was said. Shared a recipe Reel? It gets ready on its own: ingredients, steps and an ingredient list you can copy. FROM REEL TO RECIPE In Instagram or TikTok, tap Share and choose KeepScroll. AI pulls the ingredients and steps from the video when the content is accessible, and you copy the ingredient list with one tap. PLACES IN MAPS That video with 5 restaurants or a travel itinerary: the places mentioned appear in the item, and each place opens in Apple Maps. REMEMBER JUST ONE WORD? Search for an ingredient, a city or a phrase spoken in the video. No need to remember the creator or title. Read transcripts when speech is accessible. ASK WHAT YOU SAVED "Which chicken recipes did I save?" "What places did I bookmark for my trip?" Chat answers from your saved items and shows tappable sources so you can check the original. If the information is missing, it tells you. SAVE IT FOR LATER Keep Reels, TikToks, YouTube videos, posts and web pages, or paste a link into your library. Add photos and screenshots to find the text inside them, too. Movies, books, products and workouts appear in the item when the content supports them. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY • Automatic collections by topic. • Personal folders and shared folders with people you invite. • Private notes on each item. • Open the original link whenever you need it. FREE AND PRO Save unlimited links with a free account, including a one-time allowance of 5 analyses and 20 chat answers per account. KeepScroll Pro includes 50 new analyses per week and chat for personal use. Accounts that started with a higher allowance keep it. Choose a monthly or annual subscription; the annual plan offers a 7-day free trial for eligible subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase or when the free trial ends. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel it in iPhone Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions. Works with public links from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Reddit, LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, Pinterest, Kwai, Bluesky and websites. Analysis depends on accessible content; private or removed links may not be analyzable. KeepScroll is not affiliated with these platforms and does not download, store or play the original videos.
