What’s new
Version 1.3.0 · Updated October 10, 2026
This one is all about importing: faster, in the background, and with no waiting around. - Import in the background: drop in as many links, photos and PDFs as you like. Cove works through them one after another while you keep browsing. A slim bar shows what's running, and a tap opens the full overview. - Share without switching apps: spot a recipe in Safari, Instagram or TikTok, tap Share, then Cove. The link goes straight into the queue and you stay right where you were. - Recently imported: new recipes gather in a cookbook of their own, grouped into today, this week and earlier. Fresh imports are marked on the shelf. - With Pro, no recipe gets lost: if an import fails on your device, Cove keeps loading it in the background and lets you know with a notification once it's done. - Recipes from TikTok and other videos come through far more reliably, even when there's no caption. - And in search, a tap now always opens the right recipe.
