Spoonmark for iPhone

How to save recipes from Instagram

Instagram's Saved folder keeps the reel, not the recipe, and reel links don't carry the caption to other apps. Spoonmark reads the recipe from a screenshot of the caption, or from the reel itself.

Needs iOS 26 or later.

Step by step

  1. Open the caption

    On the reel or post, tap the caption so the whole recipe shows. Tap more if it's cut off.

  2. Take a screenshot

    Screenshot the ingredients and the method. If they don't fit on one screen, scroll and take another: Spoonmark reads them together.

  3. Share the screenshots to Spoonmark

    In Photos, select the screenshots, tap Share and choose Spoonmark. Or open Spoonmark and tap Import from Photos.

  4. Review & save

    Spoonmark shows Found a recipe. Check the ingredients and the steps, fix anything, and save.

Questions

Can I just share the reel link?

You can, but Instagram doesn't hand the caption to other apps, so Spoonmark will ask you for a screenshot or the video. Starting from the screenshot saves a step.

The recipe is only spoken in the reel

When Instagram offers Download under the reel's Share button, save it and share the video from Photos to Spoonmark, then open the app. The video is read on your phone and deleted afterwards.

Is it free?

Spoonmark is free on the App Store. Before each video import, the app shows how many free video imports you have.

Does Spoonmark need my Instagram account?

No. It never signs in to Instagram and never posts anything. It only reads what you share with it.
