Changelog

What's been added and improved.

July 2026 (Beta)

  • Pro is now a yearly pass — €30 for a year (about €3 a month), paid once. There’s no subscription and no mandate, so nothing is ever charged to you silently; when the year is up you decide whether to buy another. Every new account also gets a free 3-day trial of the Pro features, once
  • Share to Recipe Cards from any app. Once the app is installed, it appears in your phone’s share sheet — send a recipe link from Instagram, your browser, or a message and it opens ready to import; share plain text and it lands in the editor as a draft (Android for now, as iOS doesn’t offer this to installed web apps)
  • Profile pages open straight from the cache now, so landing on your recipe grid is as quick as the editor. Your own controls (inbox, saved links, select mode) appear a moment after the page does, and anything you change refreshes the page for visitors right away
  • The app opens fast again. Pages that don’t depend on who you are (the editor, help, the changelog, settings) are now served ready-made from the CDN instead of being built on demand, so the cold first load on a phone drops from around eight seconds to well under one
  • Lighter to load, too: the handwritten title font is less than half the size it was, the app icon went from 186 KB to 10 KB, and the little fish on the recipe card no longer pulls a full-size image down at postage-stamp size
  • Profiles load a lot lighter. Recipe photos are now resized to the size they’re actually shown at, so a collection that used to pull down almost 4 MB of images now costs about a third of a megabyte
  • Copy link on a saved recipe now gives you its profile address. That’s one stable link that stays up to date when you edit the recipe, instead of a fresh frozen copy every time you tap
  • Cooking mode now previews the next step, greyed out beneath the current one, and Settings lets you choose whether the ingredients drawer and next-step preview open automatically
  • My recipes is a tap away from the top bar (chef’s hat), and the desktop footer is back with quick links to Settings, the changelog, theme, and language
  • Tidy up your tags in bulk: in Select mode, the Tags panel now lists every tag on the chosen recipes so you can remove one from all of them in a tap, not just add new ones
  • Bigger, easier taps on phones: the copy, pin, and delete buttons on profile cards and the portion +/− steppers now have room to press, and profile cards show a cleaner title without the prep/serves line
  • A softer look: the default blue is gentler on the eyes and every theme accent has been eased back from harsh to calm — and on phones the browser bar and installed-app chrome now take on your theme color
  • A fresh mobile home: a bottom tab bar to jump between your recipes, groceries, and settings, a floating + button that’s always in reach, and two recipes per row with the source site shown right on each photo
  • Write a recipe from scratch in a step-by-step form — fill in the title, photo, ingredients (with sub-headings), steps, nutrition, and tags, no Markdown needed. Reach it from the + button’s “Write from scratch”
  • Grocery list — add a recipe (or several at once from your profile) and its ingredients merge into one list, sorted by supermarket aisle, with quantities added up and tick-off checkboxes; add your own items by hand and clear ticked or all with a tap
  • Pin up to 3 recipes to the top of your own profile for quick access while shopping or cooking — kept on your device, private to you
  • Portions selector on recipe pages — step the servings up or down and every ingredient quantity re-does the math (fractions and ranges included); the scaled amounts print too
  • Select multiple recipes on your profile (Select button) to send, tag, copy links, or delete a whole batch at once, shown as a compact checklist
  • Frame your recipe photo: drag a focal point in Change image to pick which part of a wide photo the card keeps in view, so nothing important gets cropped out
  • Choose your home screen in Settings. Land on the new-recipe editor, or straight on your saved collection, whenever you open Recipe Cards
  • Suggested tags — below each recipe, one-tap chips proposed from the recipe’s own text (course, cuisine, diet, key ingredients) and your existing tags

PROPro features

  • Clean up with AI is now part of Pro. It was free for everyone during the beta influx; the button is now available to Pro members, and it also works inside the edit-recipe window so you can tidy a saved recipe in place
  • Shopping mode — a supermarket view that brings the ingredients forward, enlarges them, and adds checkboxes (tap anywhere on a line) that remember what you’ve ticked off; checkboxes never print
  • Cooking mode — a full-screen, step-by-step walkthrough: one step at a time in large type, tap or arrow-key to advance, a pull-up ingredients drawer (with live portion scaling), and your screen kept awake while you cook
  • Theme color — pick an interface accent from Settings (green, orange, teal, violet, or pink) to replace the default blue; each is tuned for readable contrast in light and dark mode

June 2026 (Beta)

  • Change your username from Settings — your public profile address (/u/your-name) updates with it
  • Account settings page — change your email or password, import/export your recipes, sign out, clear your whole collection, or delete your account
  • AI formatting now converts measurements to metric — grams, millilitres, °C — whether you use Clean up with AI in the editor or the copy-paste prompt on the help page
  • Clean up with AI — one click in the editor reformats any messy recipe into a clean card (keeps the original language), right in the app, powered by Gemini 2.5 Flash from Google AI Studio
  • Nutrition facts — add a Nutrition section (Calories, Protein, Carbs, Fat…) and it shows as its own strip on the card, in all six languages
  • Dark mode — pick Light, Dark, or System from the footer; it follows your device by default and remembers your choice. Printed cards always stay light.
  • A friendly 404 page when a recipe, profile, or link can’t be found, with a way back to start a new recipe
  • First-run walkthrough that points out the import box, editor, live card, and saving — replay it anytime from the Formatting help page
  • Language selector in the footer for the site's interface — English, French, Dutch (rolling out across the app; your recipes are never translated)
  • Send a recipe to another user by @username — it waits in their inbox and joins their collection only once they accept
  • Profile collections now reveal recipes in batches — 12 on desktop, 6 on mobile — with a “Show more” button, so big collections stay quick to scroll
  • Sort your profile collection by recently edited, newest, or title
  • Faster-feeling navigation — a slim progress bar fires the instant you tap a link, and skeleton loaders fill in while the page opens, so you’re never left staring at a frozen screen
  • A playful display font for recipe card titles, the Recipe Cards wordmark, and profile names
  • “Need inspiration?” — a curated set of recipe sites to import from, on your category pages
  • Install Recipe Cards as an app — “Add to Home Screen” on phones, Install on desktop, works offline
  • Imports now pull in the recipe’s own photo from the page (instead of a stock search)
  • Can’t import a site (e.g. a login wall)? Save the link to retry or add by hand later — synced to your account and shown privately on your profile
  • Imported recipes now keep a Source link, shown as attribution on the card
  • Help page: a copy-paste AI prompt to format any messy recipe
  • Cooking log: record each time you make a recipe with a date, 3-star rating, and notes
  • “Made” badge & filter on your profile grid for recipes you've cooked (private to you)
  • Your chosen emoji logo now shows next to your name on your profile
  • Autocomplete from your existing tags when adding tags
  • Confirmation dialog before deleting a recipe
  • Save a whole shared category to your own collection in one click
  • Edit saved recipes in modal editor with live preview
  • Tags & categories: organise recipes with free-form tags
