Product updates
What’s new in Morsel
New features, small improvements and fixes, newest first. Morsel gets better every week, and much of it comes from what families tell us.
Last update:
Scan a recipe from a PDF
Already scanned the family recipe box to your computer? “Scan a card” now takes PDFs as well as photos, up to 3 pages per recipe.
More about Recipe Card Scan →Adding a photo to a recipe that didn’t have one
If you edited a recipe that had no photo and added one, the photo could disappear after saving. It now sticks.
Scan a recipe card
Snap a photo of a handwritten card and Morsel types it up for you: name, ingredients, servings and steps, ready to check and save. Add the front, the back and an extra page before it reads them. The original card is kept with the recipe in a new “Original Recipe Card” section, so Grandma’s handwriting is never lost.
More about Recipe Card Scan →Save a recipe from a website link
Found a recipe online? Paste the link and Morsel fills in the ingredients, steps and servings. Every recipe can now say where it came from, with a credit and a link back to the original.
More about Recipe Upload →Order your printed cookbook
Pick a design (Classic, Modern or Heirloom), choose how many copies, see real shipping prices and arrival dates, and pay on a secure checkout. Follow your order from the printer to your door on its own order page. Changed your mind? You have an hour to cancel for a full refund.
More about Printed Cookbooks →Put Morsel on your phone’s home screen
Add Morsel to your home screen and it opens full screen like an app, no app store needed. On Android it’s one tap; on iPhone we show you the two taps.
Stay signed in
No more surprise sign-outs every 30 days. As long as you open Morsel at least once a month, you stay signed in.
A lighter, cleaner look
A slimmer menu with a new Cookbooks link, friendlier recipe tiles, and recipe photos shown whole instead of cropped to a thin strip. Tap any photo to see it full size.
Start a recipe faster
Adding a recipe now opens with two shortcuts side by side, Scan a card and Paste a link, so you can skip the typing. Much less scrolling on phones, too.
Inviting family is easier
Invite several people at once, get a clear confirmation when invites go out, or copy a private join link and share it by text or WhatsApp. Mistyped emails are flagged instead of failing quietly.
More about Family & Friend Groups →Better link previews
Texting a Morsel invite now shows a proper preview with your family group’s name and how many recipes it holds, so relatives know it’s really from you.
All your settings on one page
Your profile, plan, card and receipts, notifications and groups now live on one page. And if you leave a group, you choose whether your recipes stay with the family or come with you.
Line breaks in recipe steps
Steps typed on several lines were running together as one long line. They now show exactly as you typed them, on recipes you’d already saved too.
Remove buttons on the recipe form
The little X buttons for removing an ingredient or step were cut off. They’re whole again.
Saving your text message choices
Turning text messages on or off could show an error even though it worked. That false alarm is gone.
Printed cookbook preview
Turn a family group’s recipes into a real book and flip through every page before you buy, with the exact price shown right under the preview.
More about Printed Cookbooks →Confirming your email
Clicking the link in your welcome email could show an error instead of signing you in, even though your account was confirmed. If that happened to you, sorry! Confirming now signs you straight in.
The voice memo player on computers
On wider screens the sound bars spilled over the play button and the cook’s photo. They now fit neatly at any size, and the placeholder shows the cook’s name instead of a single letter.

Voice memos on recipes
Record a story, a tip or the whole recipe in the cook’s own voice, up to 5 minutes, right in your browser. Anyone opening the recipe can press play.
More about Audio Memos →Comments and notifications
Talk about a recipe with your family right on its page: comment, reply and ask the cook for their secret. A new bell shows when someone replies, and you choose which notifications you get.
More about Comments & Replies →Search every recipe
Tap the magnifying glass (or press /) to search every recipe you can see across all your groups, by name or ingredient. Results appear as you type.
More about Recipe Search →A steadier Morsel
We fixed an issue where some uploads, including voice recordings, could knock Morsel offline for a moment, and tuned up the systems behind the app.
