ReciMe alternatives (2026)
We make Fixins, so we’ve put it first. Every other app here is described as fairly as we can, from its own website or app store listing.
Updated
ReciMe saves recipes from Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest and YouTube, and its free version allows 5 imports a week. If you’re tired of importing at all, Fixins works the other way round: creators post their recipes in Fixins themselves, and you scan your groceries to see what you can cook tonight. If you want another place to save recipes, Paprika, Crouton, Samsung Food and AnyList all save recipes from websites.

First
The short version
What ReciMe does
ReciMe saves recipes from Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube and Pinterest, or from screenshots and photos, into cookbooks, meal plans and grocery lists sorted by aisle or recipe. Its free version allows 5 recipe imports a week, and a premium subscription with a 7-day free trial removes the limit.source 1source 2
What to look for instead
If you mostly save recipes from social media, look for an app with a social import. If your saved recipes rarely get cooked, look for one that starts from your kitchen instead of your saves.
