NEW — Thermomix-compatible workflow One recipe, one tap — Zettelküche AI converts it into a full Thermomix-ready workflow with temperatures, speeds, times, and correct TM vocabulary. Premium feature, toggle it on in Settings. NEW — AI cooking assistant Long-press any ingredient to get three to five substitutes instantly. Use "Scale recipe" in the menu to recalculate all quantities for any serving size. "Estimate nutrients" gives you a per-serving calorie and macro estimate powered by AI. NEW — Allergen profile Set your allergens once in Settings — Zettelküche AI flags them directly under the ingredient list whenever a recipe contains a known allergen. NEW — iPad and Mac with native sidebar The app now uses NavigationSplitView on iPad and Mac Catalyst: Library, Add, and Settings in a persistent sidebar, recipe details on the right. The way large screens are supposed to work. Improved - Recipe notes: AI now picks up tips, variations, and notes from the original recipe and writes them to the notes field - Non-recipe images saved: shopping lists and general texts are no longer lost — they land as a note in your library - Full multi-page backup: multi-page recipes now back up all pages, not just the first - Diet tags automatic: AI actively checks ingredients for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free Thanks for your feedback — we read every message. support@torecon.de ### 2.3.1 — 2026-05-20 v2.3.1 polishes Reminders export, ChatGPT handoff, and the English language version. Improved - Reminders export: recipe ingredients reliably appear as a new list in Apple Reminders — the permission prompt shows right away - AI refinement: ChatGPT handoff now works with the ChatGPT app installed — the prompt lands in the clipboard, just paste - English UI complete: over 110 missing translations added, no more German strings on the English app - Quick recipe threshold in Settings: + and – now respond immediately Thanks for your feedback — we read every note. support@torecon.de ### 2.2 — 2026-05-09 v2.2 is the cooking-workflow update. NEW — Whole cookbook pages in a single scan Multi-page recipe in a cookbook? Apple's Document Scanner with automatic edge detection now captures any number of pages in one go. One session — all pages — one coherent recipe. No more "first one page, then the next." The AI sees everything at once and understands the whole picture. NEW — Timer per cooking step A step with a duration? Tap the timer icon next to the duration label and the timer runs. A native Apple notification fires when it's done — even with the app in the background or the display off. No more second timer on the phone, no app switching while cooking. NEW — Ingredients to Apple Reminders "Send ingredients to Reminders" in the recipe menu creates a new list "Shopping: recipe name" in your Apple Reminders app — with every ingredient as a separate entry. Syncs across all your devices, fits straight into your existing shopping routine. NEW — Recipe from any URL Found a food blog, copied the recipe URL, pasted it into "Import from URL" — done. We read schema.org Recipe markup directly when present (most professional food blogs use it). When it's missing, the AI extracts the recipe from the article text. NEW — Bulk-edit your library Enter selection mode, mark multiple recipes at once and assign tags with a single tap, flag them as favorites, mark them as "cooked today" or delete them in one go. Apple Photos/Notes pattern, instantly familiar. Cleaning up a grown library now takes minutes instead of hours. NEW — Search finds your tags Search for "christmas" and you'll find every recipe with the occasion tag "Christmas" — even when the word isn't anywhere else in the recipe. Plus: localized tag names are searchable. Type "italian" on the English app and search will find the German region seed "italienisch". NEW — Tags sorted by usage The tags you use most often appear at the top. The rest follows. Pinned tags stay at the very top. No more scanning an alphabetical list. Improved - Manual recipe entry opens the editor right away for ingredients, steps and durations - "Cancel" in the editor now does what it promises — Apple HIG-compliant - Tag picker in bulk mode shows only the tags of the chosen axis, not all mixed together - Library is called "Bibliothek" again on German, not "Library" - Sidebar tag picker on iPhone has its title and Done button back - Reminder export is also available from the full-screen reading mode We'd love to hear what you think — drop us a line anytime. ### 2.1 — 2026-05-07 With v2.1, Zettelküche AI gets quieter and faster in daily use. NEW — Full-screen reading mode Tap the reader-mode button in any recipe and it fills the whole display. No sidebar, no toolbar — just ingredients and steps at a calm reading width. X at the top right closes back to the library. Perfect on the iPad next to the stove. NEW — Multiple cuisines in parallel You cook German AND Brazilian AND Italian? In Settings you can now keep multiple region sets active at once — each one contributes its own default tags for meal, cuisine, diet and occasion. Existing recipes stay unchanged. NEW — Tags in your app language Switch the app language from German to English and filters like „Frühstück" become "Breakfast", „italienisch" becomes "Italian". Live, without an app restart. Your recipes are not renamed — only the filter display adapts. NEW — Cover photo from clipboard Found an image on the web, copied it, pasted it in Zettelküche AI — done. Every cover-photo change now shows the new image in a large preview first and asks "save or cancel". No more accidental taps. NEW — All filters in the sidebar, freely reorderable Quick selection, meal, Smart Collections, tags, region, diet, occasion — all seven filter sections now live in the sidebar and can be reordered in Settings. NEW — Apple-HIG multi-select Tag picker and filter lists now follow the Apple standard strictly: Cancel left, Done right. An accidental selection rolls back to the original state via Cancel. Improved - Filter reset now asks: "only these filters or everything including persistent diet/occasion?" - Sidebar search also finds localized tag names (e.g., "Breakfast" finds the German „Frühstück") - The picker offers creating new tags directly from the search query We'd love to hear what you think — drop us a line anytime. ### 2.0.2 — 2026-05-04 What's new in v2.0.2 Four stability and UX fixes from live feedback: Language switch is now instant Toggle the language in Settings and the app speaks it right away — no restart. Create tags and regions from the sidebar In the "More…" picker you can now type a new tag or region name and add it directly — the search prompt has been promising it; now it delivers. See all active filters at once When you have several filters running, the app shows them all side by side instead of cutting off — smaller type, more room for your choices. Region switch temporarily locked Until the clean multi-region flow lands in the next update, region is set only during onboarding. This avoids mixing old and new region tags. Plus: recipes captured in v2.0 now sync reliably with iCloud.
