Turn the TikToks you saved into a library you can search

TikTok Favorites are good for discovery and bad for finding things again. Send a TikTok link to usefull.io and the recipe, places, songs or products in it become cards you can search.

The demo works for anyone. Your own library opens with an invite: usefull.io is in early access.

Every album from one video. Caught!

A saved Reel with 10 albums and the card of an Arctic Monkeys album from it — One list video, every album in it: each a card with the artist and a Spotify link.

What you get

Any useful TikTokRecipes, places, songs, books, films, products and tools.
One libraryTikToks, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts side by side.

How it works

In TikTok, tap Share → Copy link.
Send the link to @usefull_io_bot in Telegram, or paste it in the demo to try it first.
usefull.io makes a card for each thing in the video; search for it whenever you need it.

What works best

TikToks that say or show names clearly: "5 albums for a rainy Sunday", a recipe with the amounts on screen, "three cafés in Lisbon". In our test library, one list video of ten albums turned into ten album cards, each with the artist and a Spotify button.

Favorites you saved before

There's no import of TikTok Favorites yet: send the links you want to keep. Posts you saved on Instagram can be imported from an Instagram data export.

Limits

Private videos and videos removed by their author can't be read. Background music that is never named isn't identified — usefull.io isn't a song-recognition app. It doesn't download TikToks.

Questions

Is usefull.io a TikTok downloader?

No. It reads a video for the useful information in it and keeps the link to the original; it doesn't save the video file.

Can I import my TikTok Favorites?

Not yet. Send the links you want to keep; each one becomes a card.

What kinds of TikToks work best?

Practical videos with clear recipes, places, songs, products, books, films, events or software recommendations.
