Save YouTube recipes without the 12-minute scrub.

Long cooking videos are great — until you're cooking and have to scrub back to find the seasoning measurements. DishVault pulls the recipe out so you can just cook.

Paste a YouTube URL

Works with full-length cooking videos and Shorts. DishVault reads the description, chapters, and any pinned recipe info, then structures it into a card.

Chapter-aware steps

When a video uses chapter markers, DishVault uses them as natural step boundaries. Each step links back to the right timestamp so you can rewatch the technique if you need to.

Keep the channel credited

Every imported recipe stores the original YouTube link as the source. The creator gets the credit and you get a one-tap way back to the full video.

Hands-free cook mode

Open a saved YouTube recipe in cook mode and walk through steps with your voice. The screen stays awake and timers run in the background.

Frequently asked

Do you download YouTube videos?

No. DishVault reads publicly available video metadata — title, description, chapters, transcript when one is provided — to build the recipe card. We don't store or republish the video itself.

Does it work with YouTube Shorts?

Yes. Shorts behave the same as long-form videos — we pull whatever recipe info the creator included.

What if the video has no recipe in the description?

DishVault will use the transcript (when available) to draft a recipe with AI. You'll get a starting point you can edit, not a perfect transcription.

Can I jump back to a specific moment in the video?

When chapter markers are available, each step links to the timestamp. Otherwise the source link opens the video from the start.

Will my saved recipes still work if the video gets deleted?

Yes — the recipe card lives in your DishVault vault. The source link will stop working if the original video is removed, but your ingredients and steps stay put.
