Share it from TikTok, or paste the link
Tap Share on the video and choose ThymeBlock. The import opens right there, and a few seconds later the recipe is in your box. The first time, ThymeBlock may be under More in the share sheet; once you've used it, it stays in the list. Or copy the link and paste it into ThymeBlock.

A real recipe, not a bookmark
Every import comes back as ingredients, steps and a photo, with per-serving calories, protein, carbs and fat calculated from public food data (USDA) matched to each ingredient and amount. If the recipe leaves an amount out, ThymeBlock leaves it blank and marks the line for you to fill in. It never invents a number.
What you can save today
Different sources carry the recipe in different places, so ThymeBlock reads each one the way it actually works.
- Most recipe websites: ingredients, steps and photo, from the recipe data the site publishes.
- TikTok: the caption and the spoken transcript, so a recipe that is only said out loud still comes through.
- Instagram and YouTube: the text of the post. If the recipe is only in the comments, there is nothing to read, and ThymeBlock says so rather than guessing.
- Pinterest: the pin's caption, or the site it links to.
- A cookbook or your own notes: point the camera at the ingredient list, or type it in.
From saved to cooked
Your recipe box is where the week starts. Pick recipes for the days you cook, by hand on any plan, and the grocery list follows. On Prime Thyme, the planner builds the week for you from your box and the catalog.
Common questions
Where can I import recipes from?
From most recipe websites and from TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest and YouTube. Share the link to ThymeBlock from the app you're in, or paste it. Recipe sites arrive with ingredients, steps and photo; TikTok is read from the caption and the spoken transcript, Instagram and YouTube from the post's text. If a video's text has no recipe, or the platform won't show us the video, ThymeBlock says so rather than guessing.
How do I save a recipe from TikTok?
Tap Share on the video and choose ThymeBlock. The import opens right there; a few seconds later the recipe is in your box. The first time, ThymeBlock may be under More in the share sheet; once you've used it, it stays in the list.
Can I add a recipe from a cookbook or my own notes?
Yes. Point your camera at the ingredient list to scan it, or type the recipe in. Both go into your recipe box like any import.
What happens if the recipe doesn't say how much of something to use?
It leaves the amount blank and marks the line, so you can type the quantity in. It never invents a number.
