Zastillia Recipes from Threads

Guide · 2 min read

How to save a recipe from Threads

Copy the link to a Threads post and paste it into the Zastillia app. AI reads the text, looks at the photos or video and pulls in the follow-ups the author added as replies, including a pinned reply with the recipe. You end up with one recipe with ingredients, steps, and calories and macros per serving.

Fastest: use Share

You don't have to copy the link. Share the video or post straight to Zastillia: the app opens by itself and starts reading the recipe. It works on both iPhone and Android.

  1. 1

    Tap Share

    Under the Threads post, tap the paper plane icon.

    Pick Zastillia

    In the share menu, tap the Zastillia icon. The app opens and starts the import right away, with nothing to paste.

iPhone

  1. The More button at the end of the app row on iPhone

    Scroll the row of apps all the way to the right and tap More.

  2. The Edit button in the iPhone app list

    Tap Edit in the top right corner.

  3. The green + button next to Zastillia in the iPhone app list

    Tap the green + next to Zastillia, then Done. From now on Zastillia stays in the row.

Android

Android lists every app that can take a link, so scroll down the menu: Zastillia is there. To keep it first, touch and hold its icon and choose Pin.

Why Threads is a special case

On Threads, recipes are often posted as a chain: a photo and a hook in the first post, the ingredients in the author's reply, the method further down. Zastillia takes only the author's own continuation and does not mix it up with other people's comments.

What you get

Good to know

Questions

Does it really work with Threads?
Yes. Posts with text, photos and video, and chains continued by the author.
What if the recipe is in a pinned reply?
Zastillia reads the author's pinned reply together with the post.
Is it free?
Your first few imports are free, then importing from a link is part of Premium.
Do I need a Threads account?
No, a link to a public post is enough.
