Looking for cooking inspiration without even opening the app? The ReciMe widget puts a Recipe of the Day on your iPhone Home Screen, so a fresh idea is always one glance away. 👀
Please note: the ReciMe widget is currently available on iOS only. Make sure you have the latest version of ReciMe from the App Store.
How to add the widget
Find the ReciMe app icon on your Home Screen.
Press and hold the icon until a menu appears.
At the top of the menu, you’ll see four size icons. The first one (the grid) is the regular app icon, tap one of the other three to pick a widget size.
That’s it! Your ReciMe icon instantly turns into the Recipe of the Day widget.
Tap the widget anytime to open the recipe in ReciMe.
Choose your size
Size | What it shows | Space it takes |
Small | Recipe photo and name | Square, the space of 4 app icons |
Medium | Recipe photo and name | Wide banner across your screen |
Large | Recipe photo, name, creator, rating, and number of saves | Big card, about half your screen |
Want to change it? Press and hold the widget again and tap a different size icon. To switch back to the regular app icon, tap the first (grid) icon.
Don’t see the size icons?
No worries! On some iOS versions, you can add the widget from the widget gallery instead:
Press and hold an empty area of your Home Screen until the apps start to jiggle.
Tap Edit in the top-left corner, then Add Widget (or tap the + button).
Search for ReciMe and tap it.
Swipe to choose a size, then tap Add Widget.
Drag it where you’d like it, then tap Done.
If ReciMe doesn’t show up in the list, update the app from the App Store, restart your iPhone, and try again, that usually does the trick!
How to remove the widget
Press and hold the widget and tap Remove Widget. Removing it won’t delete the ReciMe app or any of your saved recipes.
Happy cooking! 🍳
