You're scrolling. A recipe catches your eye - perfectly caramelized, effortlessly plated. You think, "I'll make that this weekend."

You screenshot. You bookmark. You forget.

And the cloud apps that promise to help? They want your data, your subscription, and your trust that they'll still exist next year. Your recipes deserve better than that.

How it works

01

Paste a link

Drop any cooking video URL - YouTube, Instagram, TikTok. Sous Clip handles the rest.

02

AI does the work

The video is downloaded, transcribed with Whisper, and parsed by an LLM into a structured recipe.

03

Recipe, saved

Title, ingredients, steps, timings - stored in your local SQLite database. No cloud. No sync. Just yours.

Everything you need,
nothing you don't.

Multi-platform support

YouTube, Instagram, TikTok - if yt-dlp can download it, Sous Clip can extract from it.

Whisper transcription

OpenAI's Whisper turns spoken instructions into accurate text, even with background music.

Your own API keys

Bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Ollama setup. No middleman, no markup, no data harvesting.

Export & share

Copy recipes as Markdown or share a direct link. Clean formatting, every time.

Recipe library

Browse, search, and filter your collection. Every recipe saved locally in SQLite.

Docker-ready

One command to deploy. Runs on a Raspberry Pi, a NAS, or any machine with Docker.

From video to recipe
in one pipeline.

Every step runs locally on your machine. No data leaves your network.

Built for people who believe their data is theirs.

Sous Clip stores everything in a local SQLite file. No accounts, no telemetry, no cloud dependency. Your recipes live on your hardware, under your control.

Run it on a Raspberry Pi, a Synology NAS, or the old laptop in your closet. If it runs Docker, it runs Sous Clip.
