Import & Export

• Share individual recipes as .boo files, Markdown, or plain text
• Export a recipe as an image card (iOS)
• Import .boo recipe files — add to your vault or replace it entirely
• Import recipes from a photo or image file using AI extraction (iOS)
• Import recipes by pasting plain text

• Multi-select recipes in the list for bulk deletion
• App icon added for the Mac App Store target

• Improved first-launch experience across multiple synced devices — seed data no longer appears on a second device that already has a vault
• Minimum macOS deployment target lowered to 15.6

• Quicker library adds. The “Add to Vault” button on library recipe cards has moved to the navigation bar, so it’s always within reach without scrolling to the bottom.
• Undo a library add. If you add a recipe by mistake, tap the checkmark in the navigation bar to remove it from your vault right from the same screen.
• Smarter sidebar. The “By Spirit” section now only lists categories that actually have cocktails in your vault — no more scrolling past Rum if you haven’t added any rum drinks.
• Serving size scaling for multi-serving recipes. If a recipe is written for more than one serving (e.g. “Serves 6”), you can now scale it all the way down to a single serving using the servings button. The cycle runs from a half serving up to however many servings the recipe was written for.
• Unit conversion per ingredient. On any recipe, tap a volume measurement — oz, ml, tsp, tbsp, or cup — to switch it to a different unit. Your preference is saved, so the next time you open that recipe it’ll be right where you left it. Units like “dash” and “splash” stay as-is since they don’t convert cleanly.
