Common questions

Which Macs can run HalfSheet?

Any Mac with macOS 26.5 or later.

Do I need an account or an internet connection?

There is no HalfSheet account. Your library works offline. iCloud sync and USDA nutrition searches need an internet connection, and iCloud sync needs your Apple Account.

Where are my recipes stored?

On your Mac, synced through your private iCloud database when iCloud is available. Our privacy policy explains the details.

How do I recover a deleted recipe?

Open Recently Deleted in the sidebar and restore it. Deleted recipes and ingredients stay there for up to 30 days.

Why did a nutrition search stop working?

USDA FoodData Central may be busy or rate limited, so try again later. To avoid the shared demo key’s limit, add your own free USDA API key in HalfSheet Settings → Nutrition. Never send your API key to support.

Can I export my recipes?

Use File → Export Recipes as CSV or File → Export Ingredients as CSV.
