1.4.1
2023-01-31
Smart Folders, PDF Scanning, Image Scanning and more!
Buckle in, this is a big one!
# Smart Folders
Create Folders which fill themselves based on your criteria. Desserts that aren’t drinks that are also rated at least 4 stars? Easy! The sky is the limit with this and I can’t wait to see how you use it!
# Image Scanning
In addition to Pestle’s existing scanner, Pestle can now scan images from your Camera Roll as well! Importing is a breeze, and you can save your recipe cards to Pestle in no time!
# PDF Importing
Got cookbooks sitting around as PDFs? Well now Pestle can import those too! Tap the ‘+’ in your Cookbook and begin highlighting your favourites straight out of the book.
# Search Improvements
Ever searched for a recipe and wondered why something matched? Now in the top right of all search results, you'll get a helpful label like "Main Course" or "Matches Ingredient".
# Spotlight
Lastly, just a little treat. Pestle will now show Recipe previews in Spotlight search, just for a bit of visual flair.
# Bug Fixes
- The Meal Plan widget works again
- Calendar Sync works better
- Fixed instruction labels being truncated at one line.
- Spotlight won't share duplicates anymore
- Fixed serving sizes getting stuffed up

1.3.6
2022-12-07
Nothing on the surface for this one, but it's got some changes that'll make an upcoming Christmas special quite nice!
1.3.5
2022-10-30
Pestle has arrived on the Dynamic Island!
Keep an eye on your timers even when in other apps, and get a quick glance at your current step with a tap and hold. Two timers? No worries, they'll both show up even without expanding the Dynamic Island. Got another activity going? Pestle will show the soonest to complete timer in a minimal view alongside sports scores, food deliveries, or whatever else you've got going on.
But fear not iPhone 13 and below users, there's goodies here for you too! With Live Activities, you'll be able to keep an eye on your timers from your Lock Screen, too!
The minor point release fixed some Live Activity bugs

More ways to Cook, More ways to Look!
Introducing Minicook
While viewing a recipe, tap the ellipsis button in the top right and choose “Start Minicook”. This will allow you check off items from the ingredients list without having to use Pestle’s guided cooking experience.
Grid View
Got a lot of recipes and want to see more at once? Tap the filter button at the end of the search bar and switch to Grid View to double the recipes onscreen (or triple, or quadruple!).
And that’s not all!
There’s a couple bug fixes here to enjoy as well :)
1.3.2
2022-09-15
Hey all! The response to the iOS 16 update has been amazing! Here are a few changes:
– When adding to a Shopping List, it's clearer what will and will not be added.
– Recipes from Nigella Lawson should now import correctly.
– Recipes in Shortcuts can now be sorted by rating, and date modified.
– Steps dragged into Pestle will no longer insert themselves backwards.
– The folder view won't scroll to top anymore when you hit the back button.
– Passing more than 10 recipes to a Shortcut will not crash anymore.
– Ingredients will correctly highlight themselves when in split view on iPad

Pestle is better than ever in iOS 16! There's a lot that's new!
Siri Shortcuts
You can now talk to Pestle with Siri, saying things like "Hey Siri, what's on my Meal Plan in Pestle?". And for the power users out there, dive into the Shortcuts app to create your own custom workflows.
Want to lookup an RSS feed, save all the recipes from it, and add them all to a folder? Easy.
How about find a recipe that's perfect for the weather? Easy as.
There's so much you can do with Pestle in Shortcuts, and I can't wait for you to try it!
Shared with You
Recipes shared with you via iMessage will show up in Pestle, without you ever having to save it yourself, it'll just be there. Magic.
Widgets
View your Meal Plan at a glance with a brand new Lock Screen Widget.
There's even more things to come, but for now, enjoy these updates :)

Another teeny bug fix update
1.2.10
2022-08-27
Can’t believe I’m doing this but… just a teeny bug fix that isn’t even worth detailing in this one
1.2.9
2022-08-26
Hey all! Lots in store coming very soon ;)
For now though, just a little update :)
Fixed a crash which would occur when opening a recipe from handoff.
Fixed a bug where notes would be limited to just 1 line.
Fixed meal plan syncing to calendar even after it was disabled.
1.2.8
2022-08-10
There is lots in store for Pestle in the coming months, but for now, just a little update with a changes :)
– Filtering now works in Folders
– Recently Added is now sorted by date by default
– Fixed "You have saved X out of 15 recipe" showing twice.
– Tap and hold a recipe to add it to a folder (or two finger tap on iPad)
– Calendar sync now works without iCloud
– PDFs can now be exported without the green highlights (useful for B&W printing)
– Some crash fixes for good measure
1.2.7
2022-08-04
Here’s a big one for Meal Planning!
Let’s start the two new features:
– Meal plan for longer than two weeks. Heck, plan into 2025 if you want to. Don’t worry about getting lost though, I’ve added a handy “Return to Today” button in the Meal Planner, you can’t miss it!
– Sync your Meal Plan with you Calendar too for maximum recipe management.
Now for some smaller features
– You can now add a recipe to a Cuisine or Category folder without opening the recipe editor first, just tap the Add to Folder button and add away :)
– Better yet, you can drag and drop recipes into folders and cuisines too, both on iPhone & iPad.
– Are you feeling lucky? Try the new ‘Add Random Recipe’ button in the Meal Planner!
Changes:
– When adding ingredients to your shopping list, they’ll no longer start selected. Check off the items you already have, then add it to your list!
Fixes:
– Login issue on iPad Pro 12.9”
– Memory leak in the cookbook, this probably didn’t impact anyone but it’s good to keep things tidy
– Recipe picker wouldn't dismiss if you searched for a recipe in your meal plan.
– Recipes edited before importing wouldn't save their changes
– Recipes would show up multiple times in your Calendar
– Pestle would crash on launch for users without an iCloud Calendar... sorry about that one.
