Nemos for Recipe Collectors — Save Recipes from Instagram, TikTok, Websites, and Screenshots

Nemos is a free recipe organizer app for anyone who collects recipes from Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, food blogs, and cookbook screenshots. The problem most recipe collectors face is that recipes get saved across five apps — bookmarks in Safari, screenshots in Photos, saved Instagram posts, TikTok favorites, Pinterest pins — with no way to search across all of them when you want to make pasta for dinner. Nemos consolidates everything into one library where every recipe is OCR'd, auto-titled, and filed into a cooking Smart Space automatically.

Screenshot a recipe from Instagram or TikTok and Nemos extracts the text, detects the ingredients, and generates a meaningful title from the content. Search 'pasta with garlic' and get every matching recipe across your entire library. Smart Spaces auto-cluster by cuisine, meal type (breakfast, dinner, dessert), or dietary restriction (vegan, keto, gluten-free). See the screenshot organizer page for the OCR details, and the memo app page for the general workflow.

Built for home cooks

Every recipe you save, found in seconds.

Nemos saves recipes from screenshots, websites, videos, and handwritten cards — and organizes them all automatically so dinner is never a search through your camera roll.

Sound familiar?

If you've felt any of these frustrations, you're not alone. Home cooks, food enthusiasts, meal planners, and cooking hobbyists deal with this every day.

1

You screenshot recipes from Instagram, TikTok, and food blogs, but they pile up unnamed in your camera roll — finding "that chicken recipe from two weeks ago" means scrolling through hundreds of photos.

2

Your saved recipes are scattered across Pinterest boards, browser bookmarks, Instagram saves, and screenshots — there's no single place to search them all.

3

Grandma's handwritten recipe cards and that perfect sourdough tutorial video are in completely different places and formats — unsearchable, unorganized.

4

Every recipe app wants you to manually type in ingredients and steps. You just want to save the recipe and find it later without doing data entry.

Here's how Nemos helps

Nemos was built to solve exactly these problems — automatically.

✓

Screenshot any recipe and Nemos auto-names it by reading the text. "Lemon Herb Chicken — Food Network" instead of IMG_5291.png. Find it by searching "chicken" or "lemon" weeks later.

✓

Save recipes from any source — screenshots, links, photos of handwritten cards, voice notes about proportions — all in one searchable library.

✓

Photograph handwritten recipe cards and Nemos OCRs the handwriting. Search for "banana bread" and find grandma's card alongside your saved Instagram reel and that blog post.

✓

Zero manual entry. Save a recipe screenshot or link and Nemos handles the rest — naming, organizing, and indexing it for search. Just cook.

"Every recipe I screenshot is named and organized. I didn't do anything."

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Nemos save recipes from Instagram and TikTok?+
Yes. Screenshot any recipe post and Nemos automatically reads the text in the image, names it (e.g., "Garlic Butter Salmon — @chefmike"), and makes it searchable. You can also save recipe links using the share sheet from any app.
How does Nemos compare to dedicated recipe apps like Paprika or Mela?+
Dedicated recipe apps try to parse and reformat recipes into a standard template, which often breaks. Nemos takes a different approach — it saves the recipe exactly as you found it (screenshot, link, or photo) and makes it searchable with AI. No data entry, no broken formatting. Just save it and find it later.
Can I search for recipes by ingredient?+
Yes. Nemos OCRs all text in your screenshots and indexes link content. Search for "chicken thigh" or "coconut milk" and find every saved recipe containing those ingredients, whether it was saved as a screenshot, a link, or a photo of a handwritten card.
Can I share recipes with family members?+
Yes. Create a shared folder — "Family Recipes," "Holiday Baking," "Meal Prep Ideas" — and invite family members with a link. Everyone can add recipes in any format, and the whole family's collection stays searchable and synced.
Does it work offline so I can use it in the kitchen?+
Yes. Everything in Nemos works offline, including search. Save recipes on the go and search through them in the kitchen — even without Wi-Fi. Your entire recipe library is always available on your device.
