What's New in Kept

1.2.1

October 4, 2026

This update gets your recipe library ready for Kept 1.3. Kept 1.3 will let you create your own categories and organize your tags. With this update, categories and tags set on another device stay exactly as you set them when your recipes sync to this one. Please install this update on every iPhone, iPad and Mac that shares your recipe library. Kept 1.3 will require iOS 27, iPadOS 27 or macOS 27. Devices that stay on iOS 26, iPadOS 26 or macOS 26 can keep using this version alongside Kept 1.3. Also fixes titles with quotation marks gaining extra backslashes, and tags containing commas being split apart.

Almost everything I want

First of all, thank you SO much for building this! This app is great. It works on desktop and mobile and imported recipes are available on the other platform immediately. It imports most recipes from URL beautifully, including NYT recipes (I have a subscription, but not all apps deal with the paywalls properly). Imported recipes display well and you can check off each step as you move through the process.

Some recipes were categorized in weird ways, but you can switch into the source code for each and recategorize them. I do wish there was a public list of categories to choose from - if you type something that doesn’t exist in the category list, it reverts back to its original decision.

Things that still need some work:
[ ] Pasting in a recipe is VERY slow.
[ ] I’d love to see a secondary category - so I can see all of my Vegan recipes in one place for instance.
[ ] Filtering is good, but the list goes on forever. Also needs a “clear filters” function so I don’t need to hunt through the list to find the checkmarks…
[ ] Tags disappear as soon as you close the record.
