What’s new in Halite

- Ingredients listed by count, like 2 eggs or 1 onion, now get a real gram weight instead of a guess, so both the metric line and the nutrition math use it
- Meals you describe in the food log are looked up in the same database, and branded staples like Fairlife milk, whey protein and PB2 are recognised by name

- Open a shared collection and every recipe in it now shows as a row of pictures you can flick through. Before, the count was a button you had to tap before anything appeared.
- Your very first search now says it's one-time setup while it indexes your recipes. Every search after that is instant.
- When filters leave no recipes to show, the empty screen now names the filters that are hiding them
- Sorting by Recently Made now tells you when none of the recipes in view have been made yet, instead of looking like it did nothing
- Tell Halite which allergens you avoid and every recipe flags where it stands, on every device you sign in to. You can also filter down to just the ones that come back clear.Settings → Allergens I avoid
- Recent additions to your shopping list is always visible at the bottom now, instead of a hidden toggle you had to know to click.Groceries
- You can now open Settings straight from a recipe's menu, instead of going back home first.Settings

- When you add an item that looks like one already on your list, we'll offer to combine them. Your call, never automatic.
- New Cook mode: a focused recipe view that keeps the screen awake, lets you check off ingredients, and steps through the method, with ingredients and steps side by side on bigger screens.Open a recipe → Cook
- Export your recipes as a printable cookbook: one offline page with cover, contents, and photos. Make one for everything, a single label, the recipes you’re viewing, or ones you pick.⋮ menu → Export
- The Markdown and backup exports now follow the same what-to-include choice as the cookbook, so you can export just one label or your current view instead of everything.⋮ menu → Export
- Filtering by label is faster on a keyboard: press L, then just start typing to find the label you want instead of scrolling the whole list.Press L on the recipe list
- Find duplicates now shows a real progress bar while it scans your library and while it applies changes, so you can see how it's doing instead of staring at a spinner.⋮ menu → Find duplicates
- Copy a recipe's ingredients or instructions to your clipboard in one tap, handy for pasting into a calorie tracker or notes app. Ingredients copy at whatever serving size you've scaled to.Tap Copy next to Ingredients or Instructions
- Adding your own photos to recipes no longer hits a fixed lifetime limit. You now get a fresh upload allowance every month, so your collection can keep growing.Edit a recipe → Add Photo
- Nutrition now says whether you're seeing one serving or the whole recipe, and you can switch between them in a tap.Open a recipe → Nutrition
- Labels that track where a recipe came from (a source or a person's name) can now be left out of AI auto-labelling, so they only ever get applied when you say so.Tap the Labels filter → pencil → Auto-label with AI
- Searching or filtering a large library is much faster. Your recipes now load in a few big batches instead of trickling in over many small ones.
- Filtering by two or more labels now tells you how many recipes match all of them, so the numbers on the labels themselves no longer look like they disagree with what's on screen.Pick two labels in the Labels filter
- The summary line when you report an issue now fits a much longer description, so you no longer run out of room mid-sentence.
- Menus like the Labels filter and view options open and close quicker now, so tapping around the app feels snappier.
- Short on one ingredient? Say how much you actually have and the whole recipe scales down to match. No ratio math in your head.Open a recipe → Scale to what I have
- Sharing a recipe as an image now has a Copy button that puts it straight on your clipboard to paste anywhere, and it pastes just once instead of twice in some apps.Open a recipe → ⋮ → Share as image
- You can now permanently delete your account and all its data yourself, whenever you want.Settings → Danger zone
- You can now change your password right from Settings, without signing out to reset it by email.Settings → Change password
- Searching a big library is now near-instant instead of taking up to half a minute, and it still looks at titles, descriptions, ingredients, labels and your own notes.
- Recipes that record how much they make now show the size of one serving next to the serving count, so you can see it's 46g a portion instead of guessing.Edit a recipe → Makes
- Recalculating nutrition now also works out how much the recipe makes, so the serving size fills itself in, and it never overwrites one you typed yourself.Open a recipe → Nutrition → Recalculate
- Ask Claude about any recipe in one tap. It opens a chat already pointed at that recipe, ready to edit, scale, plan, or answer questions.Open a recipe, then tap the Claude icon in the header
- Jump straight to your shopping list from any recipe, no need to go back home first.Open a recipe, then tap the ⋮ menu → Shopping List

- Managing your labels now shows how many recipes each one holds. Tap a count to jump straight to those recipes, so you can see what to keep, merge, or delete.Settings → Label Order
- Recipe images you share now carry a small Halite mark in the corner so friends can find the app. Turning it off will be a Pro feature.Open a recipe → ⋮ → Share as image
- Notes you save on a recipe are now easier to read and stand out clearly, so they're harder to miss at a glance.
- Share several recipes as one image, each with its photo, ingredients, and steps, laid out in a tidy grid to save or send.Select recipes → Share → Share as image
- Clipping a roundup webpage (e.g. '5 easy weeknight dinners') now shows all the recipes for you to pick from, instead of mashing them into one.
- You can now merge duplicate labels in Manage Labels: select two or more, tap Merge, and pick a name to fold them into one.Settings → Manage Labels
- Importing a recipe now asks where it should land (at the top of your list, or filed by its original date) so a new import never quietly disappears into your history.
- Find duplicates now also spots look-alike labels: scan your library, review the matching recipes and labels together, then remove the extra recipes and merge the duplicate labels in one pass.⋮ menu → Find duplicates
- The new-label box is tidier: 'Nest under' now starts collapsed and opens to a searchable list, so a long label collection doesn't fill the screen.
- You can now share a recipe as one clean picture (the whole thing, not a cropped screenshot) and pick whether it's the full recipe, just the ingredients, or just the steps.⋮ menu → Share as Image
- Password-reset and email-verification emails now arrive in Halite's own look, sent from halite.cc, so they're cleaner and easier to trust.

- You can now connect Halite to Claude and manage your recipes by chatting: search your collection, import from a link, create and edit recipes, even file feedback.Settings → Connected apps
- Halite occasionally points out a feature you haven't tried yet, right where it lives. One small tip at a time, and you can turn them off whenever you like.Settings → Tips to opt out
- Importing a backup file, or a page or video with several recipes, now shows a preview first. Fix titles and untick anything you don't want before saving.
- The progress bar while importing a recipe from the web now reflects what's actually happening (fetching the page, reading the recipe, saving) instead of a guess.
- Exports keep showing their progress after you close the menu, and you can cancel one mid-flight. Large backup restores are processed in chunks so they no longer fail partway.
- Create, rename, and delete labels without leaving Settings, or jump there via "Manage labels" at the bottom of the label dropdown.Settings → Label order
- Imports no longer auto-create dated labels. The import date shows on the recipe page instead.
- Recipes you're actively cooking from (adding notes, ticking off ingredients) now rise toward the top when sorting by Recently Updated.
