Scrolling back and forth between steps and ingredients is annoying right? Introducing step hints! We're also preparing for self-hosting and offline support in the background.
Highlights
- Step hints: Cuicuit now reminds you ingredients at each step with one-click timers.
- Share to Cuicuit (Android-only): No more copy-pasting URLs, just share.
- Keep the screen on: A small toggle to keep cooking with the screen on.
- Smarter ingredient matching: New ingredient synonyms, better matched recipes.
- Preparing the foundations for offline: Cuicuit doesn't work offline yet, but the technical foundations are in.
- Faster startup: Smaller images to load and a quicker loading splash.
Per-step ingredients
Open any recipe: each step now highlights the ingredients it uses, with quantities scaled to your chosen servings. Cuicuit guesses them automatically when importing, and you can edit mistakes in the edit page. Bonus: tap on a step number to mark it done.
Hosted users: this feature needs AI, all your existing recipes have been upgraded for free.
One-click step timers
Share to Cuicuit
On Android, you can now share a recipe from anywhere (Chrome or other browsers, Instagram, TikTok, etc.) to the Cuicuit app once you installed it as a PWA. Apple forbids PWAs to share to other apps, so this feature will have to wait for Cuicuit to go on the App Store.
Keep the screen on
Smarter ingredient matching
We're on a long journey to make importing 100% accurate. Cuicuit now recognizes ingredients far better, even with messy or abbreviated recipe wording, thanks to a new database of synonyms and hybrid multi-word search. We'll keep improving, especially for edge cases, manual synonym tweaks, recognizing unknown ingredients, and handling unsupported languages gracefully.
Foundations for offline
While the app isn't offline ready yet, the app now technically loads without internet, tells you when you're offline, recipe images are cached, and online-only actions are explicitely disabled. The only missing chapter is to introduce a local-first database on your device with support for real-time updates, offline edits, and background sync.
