What’s new in Ovenbird

Version 1.0 November 10, 2026

The first release.

• Your recipes, all in one place. Scan handwritten cards and cookbook pages, save from any website, or bring your whole library from Paprika, Mela or a spreadsheet.
• Cook mode. A prep list before you start, then each step with what goes in it, hands-free if you like, with timers named for what they time on the Lock Screen and Apple Watch.
• Plan and shop. A Meal Plan for the week, Fill the week to suggest dinners, and one grocery list added up from it all, grouped by section of the store.
• Discover. Hundreds of dishes to browse by category and cuisine, and add to your own recipes.
• Apple Intelligence, on your device. It reads your cards, writes a recipe from what’s in the fridge, names your timers and sorts the list, and nothing goes to a server.
• Everywhere you cook. iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, with widgets, Siri, iCloud sync between your own devices, and sharing with your household with Ovenbird Pro.
