v 1.9.2Pestle has been supercharged for iOS 18, and I'm so excited to finally share all the great updates!
So, what's new? A lot!
iOS 18 brings you two new icons for Pestle: a sleek dark mode icon and a customizable black & white icon that you can tint any color you like.
You can now use Pestle on your Apple Watch, allowing you to remotely control your iPhone while cooking, right from your wrist. Pestle also now supports Live Activties on Apple Watch
The Cookbook has been beautifully redesigned to let your colorful recipes shine, with less text crowding the screen.
On iPad, I’ve simplified the layout: no more tab bar, just a handy sidebar that's always one tap away.
Search has been completely overhauled to be lightning-fast, even with extensive collections.
Your recipe notes now offer rich formatting options! Bold them, enlarge them, italicize them—it's up to you.
Lastly, you can now add a quick launch button for Pestle on your Lock Screen or in your Control Center.
Phew! I've poured months of hard work into this update, and I can't wait to hear your feedback!
1.9.1 is a tiny patch to fix 2 crashes that cropped up in 1.9 :)
1.9.2 fixes a bug preventing installation on Mac and other small bugs
