What’s new

Cooking mode now reads better from across the kitchen and fits the device you cook with.

• One action per line. Imported steps that pack several actions together with bullets now show each action on its own line. Your saved recipe isn’t changed.
• A compact recipe header. Each recipe shows a small photo, “Step 2 of 6”, and a progress bar with one segment per step, leaving more room for the instruction.
• Look back without losing your place. Previous step opens the last step you finished, read-only, then takes you straight back.
• Bigger text on tablets and larger buttons throughout, so you can tap with a floured finger.
• A layout for every screen. One recipe at a time on a phone, two or three side by side on a tablet, four on a laptop and five on a wide display. The meal map shows which recipes are on screen and how far along each one is.
• Phones propped sideways show the instruction on the left and your next action on the right.

Elsewhere:

• Start cooking straight from a recipe page when no meal is in progress.
• Recipe and library photos now fill their frames.
• Long imported descriptions fold behind Read more.
• Two-column ingredient lists read down each column.
• The meal planner’s cooking bar stays quiet until you select something.

Importing is now a batch job you can walk away from.

• Paste up to 10 links, or drop up to 10 JSON or JSON-LD recipe files, in one go.
• An import inbox tracks every source while Lecinote works through it, and shows what’s ready to review, what’s saved, and what couldn’t be imported, with a reason.
• Pages with more than one recipe let you choose which ones to bring in.
• Duplicate links are caught before they’re imported twice.
• Each import still waits for your review before it joins your library.

• Review corrections save automatically while you check an imported recipe, so a closed tab or dropped connection doesn’t lose your work.
• Save and next moves you straight to the following import when you’re reviewing several.
• Recipe details embedded in web pages are found more reliably.

• Install Lecinote on your phone, tablet, or computer so it opens like an app, without browser bars. On iPhone, Safari shows a short reminder of how. See how to add it to your home screen.
• A friendly offline page appears if your connection drops, instead of a browser error.
• A calmer reconnecting notice replaces the error banner when Lecinote briefly loses its connection.
• The Lecinote wordmark stays visible at tablet widths.
