You saved 300 recipes. You've cooked 4. Bring the whole folder over at once.
Other recipe apps only help you save the next reel, one share sheet at a time. ReelsMeals goes backwards instead: bring the whole folder over at once and get a cookbook you can search, and that your AI assistant can plan dinner from.
Use my ReelsMeals cookbook —
the 300+ videos I already imported.
Find five weeknight dinners I saved
but never actually cooked.
Prefer under 35 minutes.
Reuse ingredients where possible.
Return:
1. the dinner plan
2. ingredients to buy
3. links back to the recipe cards
4. the original creator for each meal
You do this once.
Nobody is going to share-sheet 300 posts one at a time, which is why every capture app leaves the backlog where it is.
Step 1
Get the whole backlog out
Upload your Instagram "Download Your Information" export for saved reels and posts, or paste a batch of links for anything the export misses. 50 per run, then submit the next batch. Instagram killed the saved-posts API and never built a bulk share, so this is the way out.
Step 2
Turn it into a searchable cookbook
Each link becomes a card with ingredients, steps, timing, tags, the source, and the creator, read from the caption and description and audio rather than just the title. Hundreds of stranded videos become one library you can scroll.
Step 3
Connect your assistant
Add one URL in Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor, approve the permissions in your browser, and your assistant can search the cookbook, open recipes, plan a week, and build the shopping list. No API key, no config file.
What that makes possible
None of this works while your recipes are still a list of links.
Plan from food you already chose
Your assistant picks from the things you bookmarked over the years, instead of inventing a meal plan on the spot.
Prepare the shopping run
Once ingredients are structured, an agent can merge a week of them into one list and spot what overlaps.
Cook from the source
The card is readable at the stove and the original video is one tap away when technique matters.
Every recipe app saves the next reel. None of them go back for the folder you gave up on.
Move it once, and you never have to think about it again.
