What's New in Mercury

1.2.3

August 22, 2026

What's New - Recipe scaling — Scale any recipe from ½× to 8× right from the ingredients list. Every ingredient amount (including substitutions) adjusts instantly, along with the serving count. Scaling is display-only, so your saved recipe is never changed. - Multi-part recipes — Recipes with named phases like "Make the orange sauce" or "Fry the chicken" now keep their structure. Part headers appear in the recipe view, in cooking mode (so you always know which phase you're in), and in shared text and Markdown exports. - Add parts while entering recipes — When creating or editing a recipe manually, a new "Recipe part" field lets you group steps into parts. The field remembers the current part between steps, and a quick-pick menu reuses parts you've already named. Improvements - The grocery list now opens pre-set to whatever scale you chose on the recipe page, and supports fractional scaling (½×, 1½×) instead of whole batches only — using the same scale menu as the recipe view. - Web imports now recognize equipment lists (like "Equipment: Dutch oven") and file them under Notes instead of mixing them into the instructions. - Imports from well-structured recipe sites now preserve the site's own instruction groupings as recipe parts. - Each step can be assigned a part in the step editor, so you can organize older recipes too. Bug Fixes - Fixed imported recipes showing equipment or section-header lines as numbered cooking steps. - Fixed instruction group names from some recipe sites being discarded during import. - Editing an ingredient while a recipe is scaled can no longer save the scaled amounts back to the recipe.
