# v1.0.0-rc1 — Your household's recipes, on your own server (https://s-frei.github.io/rezepte/changelog/v1.0.0-rc1)



This is the first release of Rezepte, published as a release candidate: everything below is what 1.0.0 is meant to ship, and it is out for you to try before it is called stable. Because it is a prerelease, `latest` does not point at it; pull `ghcr.io/s-frei/rezepte:1.0.0-rc1`, or pick an archive from the release page, and follow [Quick start](https://s-frei.github.io/rezepte/getting-started). Try it on a fresh data directory, or [back up](https://s-frei.github.io/rezepte/operations/data-and-backup) the one you use.

## Your recipes in one place [#your-recipes-in-one-place]

Rezepte is one binary, or one container, that keeps your household's recipes in an SQLite database and your photos next to it in a single data directory. Write a recipe with ingredient groups, preparation steps, tags, times and photos, and find it again by title, ingredient, tag, time, favorite or author. The [Recipes](https://s-frei.github.io/rezepte/guide/recipes) and [Tags and search](https://s-frei.github.io/rezepte/guide/tags-and-search) guides cover it, and `--demo` starts an instance filled with sample recipes to look around in.

## Cook from your phone [#cook-from-your-phone]

Cook mode shows one step at a time in large type, with the ingredient list a tap away and a choice of five text sizes. Steps can link the ingredients they use, so the amount shows right in the step, scaled to the servings you chose. See [Cook mode](https://s-frei.github.io/rezepte/guide/cook-mode) and [Servings](https://s-frei.github.io/rezepte/guide/servings).

## Let programs and AI assistants in [#let-programs-and-ai-assistants-in]

Admins issue API tokens under Settings → API, each with its own access to recipes and to members: reading, reading and writing, or, for recipes, full access that may also delete. The same token connects an AI assistant to the MCP endpoint at `/mcp`, and the token dialog hands you the command or configuration to paste. See [API tokens](https://s-frei.github.io/rezepte/api/tokens) and [Connect an AI assistant](https://s-frei.github.io/rezepte/api/mcp).

## Also in this release [#also-in-this-release]

As the first release, everything in Rezepte is new, so this page names only the highlights. [Features](https://s-frei.github.io/rezepte/guide) walks through the rest — members and roles, editing rights, English and German, favorites, photos, settings and keyboard shortcuts — and [Operations](https://s-frei.github.io/rezepte/operations/data-and-backup) covers running it.
