Five New Features: Better PDFs, Word Export, and a Tag Manager

Five updates shipped this month, all aimed at the parts of planning that happen after the menu is built.

1. Redesigned PDF export

Bigger, easier-to-read text, print-friendly recipe cards, clear day headers, a two-column recipe layout, and a restyled calendar. It is opt-in: open Export settings and switch on New PDF design. You can also choose recipe layout, font size, and page-break behavior there. Turn it off and you get the classic PDF back with nothing lost.

2. Resize the meal planning grid

The drag-and-drop planner used to show four or five days at a time, which meant scrolling on a two-week trip. Now drag the grip bar under the grid to make it taller, or click Fit to days to show the whole plan at once. The height is remembered.

3. Download your whole cookbook

Export every recipe on your account as a single PDF: a cover page with your account name and recipe count, then one page per recipe with categories, tags, restrictions, ingredients (substitutes nested beneath), and full instructions. Quantities print exactly as entered. Find it under Settings, Download your cookbook. Good for a kitchen binder, a backup, or a client handout.

4. Export a meal plan to Word

Alongside PDF and Excel there is now an editable .docx that opens in Word or Google Docs. Click Download WORD on any meal plan. It uses the same export settings as the PDF, so the two match. Handy for adding a client note or dropping the plan into a larger document.

5. Tag manager

If your tag list has gluten free, gluten-free, and GF all in use, this is for you. Settings, Recipe tags, Manage tags shows every tag and how many recipes carry it. Rename a tag across every recipe at once, merge tags with a confirmation showing exactly what changes, delete unused ones, or expand a tag to add or remove recipes. Ten minutes of cleanup usually does it.

As always, tell us what you would like to see next.
