Is it free?+
Yes. The website, the waitlist and every feature in the app are free during beta. There is no paid tier behind the free one.
Which apps and videos work?+
TikTok videos (shared from the TikTok app, or by pasting the caption), Instagram Reels and posts, YouTube videos and Shorts, and public recipe web pages. TikTok video download depends on platform approval and can be switched off; when it is, pasting the caption still works.
How accurate is it?+
Video processing can miss a word or a step. Review ingredients, amounts and cooking instructions before you start.
What happens when the creator does not mention quantities?+
An unstated amount stays blank so you can add it yourself. We do not present a guess as something the creator said.
Where are videos stored, and is my data private?+
Videos are processed in memory and discarded — never stored or re-served. Recipes keep a link to the original video and the creator handle. The full privacy page is linked in the footer.
Can I use it today?+
The Android build runs today, and the waitlist is how people get the download link. iPhone owners join the same list and choose iPhone on the form. We send one message with your link and nothing else.
Is Receta Ime affiliated with TikTok?+
Receta Ime is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by TikTok or ByteDance. All trademarks belong to their owners.
Can I delete my data?+
Yes. In the app, Settings → Delete account removes your account and recipes immediately, and Settings → Export my data hands you the whole file first. If you only left an email on the waitlist, the request form on our Delete-your-data page removes that row and gives you a reference code to check it.
Will creators be credited?+
Yes. Every extracted recipe keeps a link to the original video and, when visible, the creator handle. We never re-host the video itself.
Which languages are supported?+
The app is available in Albanian with a language switcher; the marketing site is in English, and the privacy and terms pages are also available in Albanian (see the Shqip links there).
What about allergens and special diets?+
Video processing can miss ingredients, including allergens. Always check labels and the original video yourself. Receta Ime is a cooking tool, not a medical or dietary service.
Do I need an account?+
Not for the waitlist. The app uses an account so your recipes stay with you across phones; the demo account works without signing up.
