Tap a mark for the note. “Not found” means we looked on the app’s own pages and did not see it, not that it lacks it.

## Mela が優れている点

- **Save from Instagram, TikTok, YouTube.** YouTube, TikTok and Instagram: extracts recipes from video descriptions via ML importer (v2.5); no Pinterest/Facebook mention [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mela-recipe-manager/id1548466041) Crouton: not found on its own pages

## Croutonが強いところ

- **Apple Watch.** Apple Watch app (watchOS 10+); Live Activities with timers, steps, doneness; double tap [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/crouton-recipe-manager/id1461650987) Mela: no. Not listed in App Store compatibility (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch only)
- **Siri and Shortcuts.** Expanded Siri and Shortcuts: find recipes, add to plan/groceries, launch step-by-step, interactive recipe cards [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/crouton-recipe-manager/id1461650987) Mela: not found on its own pages

## A third option: Saucepan

Saucepan is our app. It has ChatGPT and Claude connectors, MCP access for other AI apps, interactive cards in the chat, a pantry, receipt scanning, recipes from what you have and nutrition estimates, which neither Mela nor Crouton shows on its own pages.

What to know first: it launches on November 13, 2026, so it has no track record or ratings yet. It is on iPhone, and runs on iPad. Android is coming soon. Where Mela or Crouton is ahead of it: an Apple Watch app and Mac and iPad apps.
