What's New in Hearthside

1.1.0

September 8, 2026

Your kitchen is yours to decorate, and your cookbook is yours to keep. DECORATIONS Four things you can change: the rug on the floor, the curtains at the window, the piece hanging on the wall, and what sits on the shelf. A copper pot rack, a dried wreath, a braid of garlic and chilies, a shelf of tea things. Swap them whenever you like. THE LIGHT TURNS WITH THE YEAR The kitchen warms to gold in autumn and cools to blue in winter, on its own, following the real calendar. Free for everyone. A DATED COOK LOG Every card now keeps a line for each time you cooked the dish. "Less salt next time" stays attached to the evening you wrote it instead of overwriting what you wrote last month. TAKE IT WITH YOU Export your whole cookbook as a PDF you can print or keep, or as a CSV for a spreadsheet. Dates, dishes and every note you have written. MORE IS NOW FREE Logging meals, the whole cookbook, and writing notes no longer cost anything. Cook as much as you like and keep every card you earn.
