What’s new

Recent changes to recipes.im, newest first.

May 20, 2026

Edit details, redesigned
Tap ⋯ on any recipe → Edit details. Cuisine, course, and tags each open a focused picker with search, recently used at the top, and a free-text Add row — so a Sichuan recipe can be Sichuan instead of the closest fit.
Snappier app
Opening a recipe is about 40% faster on average. The Groceries list stays smooth while the parser is rebuilding in the background.

Sign in with the SMS autofill chip
Six boxes over a hidden input. Tap the iOS autofill suggestion and the code drops in and submits — no copy-paste fiddling.
Sign out, not “Leave household”
The household row in Settings now says what it actually does. Your recipes stay synced; you can sign back in with the same email anytime.

Swipe to delete in groceries
On the Aisle tab, swipe a row left to reveal Delete. Custom items are removed outright; recipe items are hidden from the list but stay on their recipe.
Smoother grocery scrolling
Toggling checkboxes stays smooth even on long lists with a lot of ingredients still being categorized.

Find recipes from the web
When your library doesn't have what you're searching for, a grid of real recipes from across the web shows up — in the Recipes tab and in Search. Tap to save one into your library with the original photo and source.
Recipe sources
Cards and the recipe detail page now show where each recipe came from, with a small favicon and domain. Tap to read the original.
Better YouTube imports
Recipes from longer YouTube videos (up to ~5 minutes) now extract cleanly, and we use a higher-quality video stream so ingredients are recognized more reliably.

Live timers on the Lock Screen
Cooking timers now appear on the iPhone Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Pause or stop them without unlocking.
Equipment tab
Step timers and the cookware list are merged into a single Equipment tab in recipe detail.
App icon badge for groceries
A small red dot on the app icon shows when items are waiting in your grocery list.
Swipe between tabs
Swipe horizontally on recipe detail and groceries to move between sections.

Faster cold start
Reworked the data layer so the app opens with less lag, even on a cold start.
Devices stay in sync without a manual refresh
Edits made on one device show up on others within seconds, even when the other app's been sitting idle in the foreground.
