Sous Clip watches cooking videos so you don't have to. Paste a link, get a clean, structured recipe - stored locally, forever yours.
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.
Drop any cooking video URL - YouTube, Instagram, TikTok. Sous Clip handles the rest.
The video is downloaded, transcribed with Whisper, and parsed by an LLM into a structured recipe.
Title, ingredients, steps, timings - stored in your local SQLite database. No cloud. No sync. Just yours.
YouTube, Instagram, TikTok - if yt-dlp can download it, Sous Clip can extract from it.
OpenAI's Whisper turns spoken instructions into accurate text, even with background music.
Bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Ollama setup. No middleman, no markup, no data harvesting.
Copy recipes as Markdown or share a direct link. Clean formatting, every time.
Browse, search, and filter your collection. Every recipe saved locally in SQLite.
One command to deploy. Runs on a Raspberry Pi, a NAS, or any machine with Docker.
Every step runs locally on your machine. No data leaves your network.
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.
