Apple Notes vs a recipe app for saving TikTok recipes
Short answer
Apple Notes works if you type or paste the recipe text yourself, and it is already on your iPhone. Recepti saves you the typing: paste the TikTok or Instagram link and it writes out the ingredients and steps, including recipes that are only spoken in the video.
Side by side

Questions
What about an iPhone Shortcut that saves TikTok captions?
Shortcuts can copy a caption into Notes, but they only get what was written. Many recipes are only said in the video.
Can I keep my notes and use Recepti?
Of course. Many people keep tweaks in Notes and the recipe itself in Recepti.
