May 18th, 2026

Version 1.0.0

Build 11

  • 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.
