SousChef

Turns any cooking video into a structured, voice-guided recipe you can follow hands-free.

The problem

Recipes are scattered across TikTok, Instagram and YouTube in video form — hard to follow with wet hands, harder to turn into a shopping list. Built for the RevenueCat Shipyard Creator Contest, which meant the app also had to prove it could monetize, not just demo well.

The approach

Paste a cooking video URL and SousChef extracts ingredients, steps and timing with Gemini 1.5 Flash, then hands it back as a structured recipe with voice-guided, hands-free cooking, automatic shopping lists, meal planning against your pantry, and multi-timer tracking. Subscription access is handled through RevenueCat.

What it does

Video-to-recipe

Pulls ingredients, steps and timing out of a pasted TikTok, Instagram or YouTube link.

Hands-free cooking

Voice-guided steps so you never touch the screen with wet hands.

Shopping + planning

Generates a shopping list and plans meals against what's already in the pantry.

Multi-timer

Tracks several simultaneous cook timers with cloud sync across devices.
