Importing from YouTube
Updated 2026-09-02
- On the Recipes tab, tap + → Web Import.
- Navigate to the YouTube video in the browser.
- Tap Import Recipe.
What it reads
ReciLore does not transcribe or watch the video. It reads the video's description, and if the description links to a full recipe page it opens that and imports from there. If there's no link, it makes a recipe from the description text itself.
If it grabs the wrong thing
Descriptions often contain several links (sponsors, other videos, the creator's shop). ReciLore tries the most recipe-like ones, but it can pick wrong. If the result is off:
- Open the actual recipe link from the description in Web Import and import that page directly.
- Or copy the recipe text and use Quick Paste.
