Your sous chef is here.
Paste a TikTok link, snap a photo of a handwritten recipe card, or save a recipe from your favorite food blog. Umai Chef turns any of them into a clean, step-by-step recipe in seconds — ingredients, steps, timings, all ready to cook.
Plan the week ahead. Share the grocery list with your partner. Cook together, even when you're in different kitchens. And translate any recipe into your own language with a single tap.
The friction is gone. The dinner is easy. The cooking? That part's up to you.
SAVE RECIPES FROM ANYWHERE
• Paste any link — TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, food blogs, news sites
• Snap a photo of a handwritten recipe, a cookbook page, or a printed card
• Take a photo of ingredients on your counter — get recipe ideas instantly
• Type it in manually — sometimes the old way is still the fastest
Umai Chef reads the recipe, pulls out the ingredients, quantities, steps, and timings, and saves it cleanly to your library. No more lost screenshots. No more "I saw it somewhere."
