Changelog

0.43.0 — 2026-11-10

• Cycle and period length have an "I'm not sure" tick now. Leave it ticked and the app uses an average, a 29-day cycle and a 5-day period, until you know.
• You can set each phase's length yourself under "Set each phase", and each phase has a short line on what it is. Follicular takes whatever days are left, so the total always adds up.
• Cycles up to 50 days long can be entered.
• The luteal phase now runs 12 days rather than 14 unless you set it, so your phases may move by a couple of days. Numbers you had already entered stay as they were.
• "Clear my cycle details" empties the date and every length, after a second tap to be sure.

0.42.4 — 2026-11-10

• Adjusting something you logged is tidier. The two numbers have their names above them, with a tick to keep the change and a cross to leave it, all on one line.
• Tapping Adjust brings the number pad up straight away, and Enter saves.

0.42.3 — 2026-11-10

• Buttons, chips and labels now all use the same capitalisation: a capital to start, then lower case. "stop" is "Stop", "breakfast" is "Breakfast", "low appetite" is "Low appetite".
• Section labels are no longer in capitals: "LOGGED" is "Logged", "QUIET NOTES" is "Quiet notes", and a recipe's "INGREDIENTS" and "STEPS" are "Ingredients" and "Steps".

0.42.2 — 2026-11-10

• Every box you type in now keeps its name above it, so you can still tell which number is which once you have started typing. On the log page that means Calories, Protein, Carbs and Fat each say what they are.
• A few boxes that had no visible name have one: Grams on a scanned product, Barcode number, Recipe link, Dish name on a photo.
• The small boxes for adjusting a logged item, and the cycle day on Plan, are a full 48 px tall.

0.42.1 — 2026-11-10

• Buttons now look the same across the app: one filled, one soft, one underlined word. The smaller ones are a full 48 px tall, so they are easier to tap.
• "Scan with camera", "Photo estimate" and "Change the details" are soft buttons now, where they were outlined.
• "Use this" under each daily target is a full button beside its suggestion, and stays put when you tap it.

0.42.0 — 2026-11-10

• Today's log is easier to read. Each thing you logged is its name and its range, and tapping it shows Adjust, Amend and Remove.
• Only one item is open at a time, so the day stays short.
• A meal with one thing in it shows its range once, not twice.

0.41.5 — 2026-11-10

• Settings → What you see is shorter: Ideas, Recipes, Plan, Lately and Blank days in the week. "Your week, gently", the notes on a scanned product and the line after a meal no longer have switches. They are simply on.
• If you have cycle dates set, the line after a meal is now on for you, even if you never switched it on. When you log a meal for today or ask for an estimate, the meal's words, which meal it was and a short list of suggestions go to the app's model so it can pick one line. Clearing your cycle dates stops it.
• The Cycle card in Settings and the privacy notice both say so.

0.41.4 — 2026-11-10

• The line under Today's bar now goes by the same range the bar shows. In the luteal weeks or on an active day it could say you were over while the bar had you inside your range.
• Ideas suggests for what is left of today, even when Today is showing another day.

0.41.3 — 2026-11-10

• The cycle card, the onboarding step and the privacy notice now say everything your cycle dates change: the plan opens on the right day, Today's range widens a little in the luteal weeks, and a quiet note for your phase is a tap away. The card says it in two short paragraphs, and the note about the evidence sits behind an info button.
• "Use this" under each daily target is a button that reads "Using this" once tapped, and fat has one too.
• In Foods to skip, a comma or leaving the box adds the food. Switching weight to stones or height to feet fills in your saved number.
• A few Settings lines are shorter or clearer: Numbers shown as, What you see, and the journal's no-reset warning in bold.
• "Show the welcome again" is now a button and says what it opens.

0.41.2 — 2026-11-10

• The small round buttons (back, close, share, edit, the servings plus and minus) and the arrows that open a section now look the same everywhere, and the close and back marks are drawn to match the rest.
• The Journal heading on Today is tall enough for a thumb.

0.41.1 — 2026-11-10

• Choices like meal slots, filters and units now look the same everywhere, and every one of them has a thumb-sized target even where it looks small.
• Settings you switch on and off, and "My dishes only" in the recipe filter, use a proper switch instead of a tick box.

0.41.0 — 2026-11-09

• The app counts how often each of its parts gets used: opening it, each tab, logging by hand, an estimate that found something or nothing, a barcode found or not. Each count is a name and a number for the day, added up for everyone together, with nothing that names you in it. The privacy notice says exactly what goes.
• The welcome screen asks how you found the app, if you'd like to say. Pick as many as fit; pick none and nothing is counted for it.
• The welcome says a little more about who made the app and why, and every welcome screen now sits on the same warm sand.

0.40.4 — 2026-11-09

• On Android, the app's background now runs all the way to the top and bottom of the screen, and the clock and battery stay readable if your phone switches to dark mode.

0.40.3 — 2026-11-09

• On Android, swiping back from a main tab now shows your phone's own preview of the home screen, as other apps do.

0.40.2 — 2026-11-09

• While an estimate or a recipe is on its way, the line under the cat says what is actually happening ("Asking for an estimate", "Reading the page", "Saving the recipe") instead of a guess.

0.40.1 — 2026-11-09

• Ticks now match the rest of the app instead of the browser's blue, and the hint text inside fields is easier to read.
• The small fold arrows are drawn the same way everywhere, and the Recipes library's pictures load as you scroll to them.

0.40.0 — 2026-11-01

• Three photo or text estimates a day are free, and logging by hand is always free. Past three, the app says estimates are having a rest for today, the same quiet line as before. Working out a recipe's numbers counts as one. An estimate that fails doesn't.
• Saving an edit to a recipe only works out its numbers again if you changed the ingredients or the servings, or it has no numbers yet.
• A pass lifts estimates to up to 30 a day. There is nothing to buy yet.
• /terms, the landing page's "Is it free?" answer and the welcome email say this now. The landing page no longer says the first twenty or so keep everything for good.
• Your data export now includes any passes on your account and any feature flags I have set for you.

0.39.2 — 2026-11-03

• Suggest swaps gives up less often. When the AI runs out of room thinking about a recipe, it now has more room, and a second model takes over if it still doesn't finish.

0.39.1 — 2026-11-01

• With the cycle features on, the AI model no longer sees the name of your phase when you import a recipe or ask for swaps. It gets one line of food focus instead, so the suggestions can still lean that way. The privacy notice now says so, and lists a few more things a swap request carries.

0.39.0 — 2026-11-01

• On the sign-in screen you can now ask for a new code, or go back and use a different email, without swiping back. A new code is available a minute after the last one, and the button counts that down.
• The sign-in screen no longer says a code has been emailed, because it can't know that. If the app can't reach us at all, it says so and keeps you where you are.
• Sign out is now a button of its own at the bottom of Settings.
• The privacy notice now says what is kept when a sign-in is refused: a short row with a scrambled version of the address typed, even when no account exists for it.
• Our emails, the sign-in screen and the Your data card in Settings now use normal capitalisation, and deleting your account now asks you to type Delete, which is what a phone's keyboard offers anyway.

0.38.1 — 2026-11-01

• A security update to the Android app.

0.38.0 — 2026-10-27

• Two new pages on the site: /delete-account, the steps to delete your account with or without the app, and /terms, which says what the app is, what it is not, and the daily limit on AI estimates (30 a day). The privacy notice links the first.
• The Android app now builds as a signed release bundle, ready for the Play Store's closed test.
• The privacy notice now says where your data goes when it leaves the UK, with Resend, Cloudflare, OpenRouter and GitHub, and what legally covers each transfer.

0.37.1 — 2026-10-23

• A recipe read from a link or a screenshot now comes through even when the swap ideas don't. On a day estimates are resting, a line under the recipe says so. Before, the whole read failed, and a screenshot had been read for nothing.

0.37.0 — 2026-10-22

• A recipe can now be shared: Share on the recipe's page makes a public page for it — the picture, ingredients, steps and your note, never the app's estimated numbers — and hands the link to your phone's share sheet, where it unfurls into a proper card. Each recipe has one link; Stop sharing takes the page down at once, and so does removing the recipe.
• A recipe's page is easier to use on a phone: Share sits on the photo, Add to today and Edit are bigger buttons under the title, and Remove has moved to the bottom of the page, out of the way.

0.36.1 — 2026-10-22

• A meal logged on one device no longer disappears when another device, left open since earlier, logs something: each one reads your day again when you come back to it.
• An estimate still working when you change the day lands on the day you asked it for, and a row you remove while it works stays removed.
• Re-pricing a recipe no longer brings back one you removed meanwhile.
• A new phone that can't reach the server on its first try waits before welcoming you, and can no longer lock your journal.

0.36.0 — 2026-10-19

• The Recipes tab is now a picture grid: your own recipes and the meal plan's dishes side by side, your pictures on top, the cat on a sand card where there is no photo.
• A filter below the search box: meal, this week's focus, cooking time, and a switch for just your own dishes. "Lighter first" and "heartier first" reorder the grid — nothing is ever hidden by a calorie number.
• A dish from the meal plan opens read-only, with its recipe where the plan has one, and "Add to today" works the same as from Ideas.
• Every meal-plan dish on the tab now has a photo (openly licensed, credited on the dish's page) and a fuller recipe: ingredients as a list with quantities, the method as proper numbered steps. Plan entries that are just leftovers no longer appear in Recipes.
• Three plan dishes had the wrong recipe attached (a chicken curry on the chickpea & pumpkin curry, the egg curry, and a sardine salad on the farro salad) — each now carries a recipe for the dish it names.
• On a wide screen the filter lies along the bottom of the window; the add form has a back button at the top.

0.35.1 — 2026-10-18

• The line after a meal was never appearing: the model's answer was being cut off before it finished. Fixed — the line shows again when one fits.

0.35.0 — 2026-10-18

• The line after a meal now carries a small drawing of the food it names: a lemon beside "a squeeze of lemon", a bar beside "a square of dark chocolate". It is the same drawing for the same food every time, and it says nothing about the meal.

0.34.0 — 2026-10-18

• A new switch in Settings → What you see, off until you choose it: "A line after a meal". With it on, logging a meal can show one line under it on Today, about the week's focus and something that would go with what you logged, such as "Iron might suit this week; a squeeze of lemon would go with this." The lines are a short written list; the app asks its model which one, if any, suits the meal at that time of day. It says nothing about the meal itself, appears only for today, and goes on a tap. The privacy notice says what travels for it.

0.33.1 — 2026-10-18

• On your phone, the back gesture now closes Settings or the log page and takes you back to where you were, instead of leaving the app. On a tab it still leaves, as before.

0.33.0 — 2026-10-17

• A + sits at the bottom right of every screen. It opens a page that asks "What did you eat?", with the meal, the day, and a lined page to write on that grows as you type. Today's own card asks the same question and opens the same page.
• Photo, barcode and recipe are now buttons with small drawings under the field, one open at a time. "I know the numbers" is where you type your own.
• After you log, you are back on Today: the new row lights up for a moment and a line under the question says which meal it went to.
• Quiet notes are three small tiles; tap one to read it. "This phase" shows the moon for where you are in your cycle.
• The journal has a notebook drawn beside its name.

0.32.0 — 2026-10-17

• Today shows the week at the top: tap a day to open it, and the arrows move a whole week at a time.
• A new choice in Settings, What you see: "Blank days in the week" shows days with nothing logged in a lighter date. It is off unless you turn it on.
• Cards have slightly rounder corners, the same as on the website.
• Settings has a back arrow beside its title that takes you back to where you were. In the Android app, the phone's back gesture does the same.

0.31.0 — 2026-10-16

• The welcome now asks four short questions first, one per screen: how you would like numbers to look, a starting point for your daily ranges, your cycle dates, and foods you'd rather not see. Each one can be skipped, and every answer can be changed in Settings.
• The cat holds something to match each question: reading glasses, a bowl, a calendar, a list.
• The short tour after your first log now ends on Plan. It no longer walks you through Settings, since the questions have already asked.

0.30.0 — 2026-10-16

• Every page except Today now opens with its own heading in large type: "Ideas for your next meal", "Your recipes", "This week's meals", "What's been usual" and "Settings". Today keeps the app's name.
• The bigger buttons are a little taller, so they are easier to tap.

0.29.0 — 2026-10-16

• The sections now sit in a bar along the bottom of the screen, each with a small drawing over its name: a bowl for Today, a lightbulb for Ideas, a pot for Recipes, a calendar with a leaf for Plan and a wave for Lately. On a phone they used to spill onto a second row.
• Settings is a short list. Each line says what it holds, such as your targets or which parts of the app are switched on, and opens when you tap it.
• Today's totals are easier to read at a glance: the figure is larger and the words around it smaller.
• The welcome tour now lights up the part of each screen it is talking about: the entry you just logged, a suggested recipe, the way to add a recipe, and the week's plan, with the cat's note just underneath.
• Cards sit flat on the page and buttons share one rounded shape. On a narrow phone, the boxes for adding your own numbers no longer squeeze the Add button, and each logged entry's numbers use the full width, with adjust and remove underneath.

0.28.1 — 2026-10-16

• Label notes on a scanned product are easier to see: each one is now a small chip under the name, like the portion buttons, with the claim in bolder type and the figure beside it, where before they were a faint line.

0.28.0 — 2026-10-12

• Label notes can now name a vitamin or mineral: "a source of iron (4.5 mg per 100 g)", "high in vitamin C (60 mg per 100 ml)". Twelve are known: calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, folic acid, riboflavin, niacin and vitamins B6, B12, C, D and E.
• Each is still a claim the packet itself would be allowed to print: at least 15 % of the daily reference value per 100 g, or 7.5 % per 100 ml for a drink; "high in" at twice that. The figure is printed as the label prints it, never as a percentage.
• With two lines to fill, a product shows one of protein or fibre and one vitamin or mineral when it has both, so a fortified cereal reads "a source of protein" and "high in niacin" rather than two lines about the same kind of thing.

0.27.0 — 2026-10-12

• A scanned barcode now answers as a card like the photo estimate: the product's picture at the top, when Open Food Facts has one, then its name, the portion pills, and calories, protein, carbs and fat for the portion you pick, each as a cell of its own.
• When there is no product picture, the card keeps the frame your camera was holding when it read the code. It stays on your phone and is dropped the moment the product is logged.
• The product picture comes through Gentle Plate's own server, so Open Food Facts still only ever receives the barcode digits.
• "Looking up the barcode" shows while the lookup is out.

0.26.3 — 2026-10-12

• A label note prints a small figure as the packet does: "low salt (0.03 g per 100 g)", where it used to round that to 0 g.

0.26.2 — 2026-10-12

• Label notes say less. Of the "low" lines only "low salt" is shown now; "low fat" and "low sugars" no longer appear on a scanned product.
• A drink with no calories is only called low salt if it meets the stricter line the rules set for water.

0.26.1 — 2026-10-12

• Scan a barcode and the product can show one or two facts from its label under its name: "a source of protein (14 g per 100 g)", "high in fibre", "low salt".
• Each one is a claim the packet itself would be allowed to print under the UK's nutrition-claims rules. There are no warnings, and a product with no line under it has had nothing said about it.
• Off until you switch it on: Settings, What you see, Label notes.

0.26.0 — 2026-10-12

• A photo estimate now shows you the photo. It appears the moment you pick it, with "Looking at the photo" under it while the estimate is out.
• The answer comes back as a card under the photo: the dish's name, which you can change, then calories, protein, carbs and fat, each as a range. Nothing lands on Today until you press Keep it.
• "Change the details" keeps the dish and opens its numbers for you. The X leaves a dish out. Several dishes in one photo each get their own Keep.

0.25.0 — 2026-10-09

• A short welcome the first time you sign in: the cat walks you through logging one thing, then Ideas, Recipes, Plan and the three Settings cards worth knowing. Every bubble has an X; skipping asks once. "Show the welcome again" in Settings brings it back whenever you like.

0.24.2 — 2026-09-24

• Scanning a barcode now shows the calories, protein, carbs and fat for the portion you have picked before you log it. A multipack's "Whole pack" means the whole box, and now you can see that before it lands on Today.

0.24.1 — 2026-09-24

• Estimates, recipe swaps and screenshot reads now need you to be signed in. They always were, from inside the app; the server now says so too, so nobody outside it can spend the estimate budget.
• A recipe read from a link with swaps on now counts on the same daily cap as everything else that asks the model.

0.24.0 — 2026-09-23

• The recipe form remembers which swaps you take and which you undo before saving, and later suggestions lean on that. It is a memory of taste, not a record: nothing counts them and nothing shows them.
• Your data export now carries those choices, and deleting your account removes them with everything else. The privacy notice says so.

0.23.0 — 2026-09-23

• The recipe form has a "Suggest swaps" link above the ingredients. It offers a few optional swaps with one plain reason each ("more fibre, same comfort"), sometimes a thing worth adding, and says which lines are fine as they are. Where the food index knows both ingredients it shows their figures per 100 g. Nothing changes until you tap "Swap it", which edits that one line and keeps the quantity.
• After a swap, the steps that would change are offered one by one too, with a line on seasoning when it matters. Nothing is rewritten unless you tap "Use this step".
• If you keep a cycle in Settings, the suggestions lean towards that week's focus (iron and magnesium, say). A protein target leans them towards protein. No number from Settings is ever sent.

0.22.1 — 2026-09-23

• When a recipe link can't be read, the note now sits right under the link box instead of at the foot of the form.
• A read or save that takes longer than a few seconds changes its line now and then ("checking how to cook it…", "having a little nibble…").

0.22.0 — 2026-09-23

• Reading a recipe link or saving a recipe now shows it is working: the form dims and the small cat rolls along a line until the page answers or the save lands. It says "Reading the page…" or "Working out a portion…" and nothing else — no bar, no percentage.

0.21.0 — 2026-09-23

• "Add to today" from a recipe, a kept dish or an Ideas dish now lets you say how many servings: a − / + beside the range, which scales as you go. Two servings log as one line, "2 servings of …", with the numbers for both.

0.20.1 — 2026-09-23

• The Recipes tab now opens with one line saying what it does: paste a link or type a recipe in, edit anything, add one serving to your log.

0.20.0 — 2026-09-22

• A new "Recipes" tab (Settings → What you see, on by default) lists the dishes you keep, with a search box and a page for each: picture, serves, time, the source link, ingredients, numbered steps and your own note. Made for reading at the hob.
• Add a recipe by pasting a link — the page's ingredients, steps, time and picture come across — or by typing one in. Edit or remove it from its page.
• "Save as my dish" on Today now keeps the steps, time and source too.
• A recipe saved while estimates are resting is kept without numbers and says so; "Re-price" works them out later. Nothing is shown as zero.

0.19.0 — 2026-09-22

• A recipe you save as your dish is now kept for good. It sits on Ideas under "My dishes" with its ingredient lines and one portion's range, and "Add to today" logs it without another estimate.
• Typing a kept dish's name offers it as "same as before" however long it has been since you last had it, not only for sixty days.
• Each kept dish has a "Re-price" that runs its ingredients through the estimator again, for when the food index has learned something new. A quiet "remove" takes one off the list; it asks once.

0.18.1 — 2026-09-22

• A deleted account stays deleted on every device. Before, a phone that was still signed in could go on saving for a few minutes after you deleted the account from another one; now it cannot, and the privacy notice no longer has to warn about it.

0.18.0 — 2026-09-22

• A meal you log as several foods (yoghurt, peanut butter, chia, honey…) is now recognised by what was in it, not by how you worded it. Typing it slightly differently on another day no longer makes it a new meal, so it reaches the usuals strip on Ideas as one breakfast.
• Typing the start of a meal on Today ("fage yog…") now offers the whole meal as a "same as before" option, with its parts listed, not just the single foods inside it.

0.17.1 — 2026-09-20

• If deleting your account fails part-way, Settings now says so. It used to say nothing had been deleted, which was not always true.
• Deleting your account now signs you out straight away, so the open app can't write anything new afterwards.
• Crash reports now strip typed food from the top of the error trace as well as from the message.
• The privacy notice now covers the journal and recipe imports, and says more exactly what a failure report and the waitlist keep.

0.17.0 — 2026-09-17

• Plan and Ideas now work together. With both switched on and your cycle dates in, Ideas opens with the dish on today's page of your plan, then lists other dishes from the same week that would suit the same day.
• Those others are chosen because they answer the week's focus — iron, magnesium, slow carbs and so on — and are a similar size. Each one says which, in plain words.
• Ideas shows the week's focus line from Plan, so you can see what the suggestions are answering.
• With Plan switched off, or no cycle dates, Ideas is exactly as it was. It never guesses a phase.

0.16.0 — 2026-09-17

• Settings is no longer one long scroll. Each section folds under its heading; a first visit opens your daily targets, "What you see" and "How this app treats you", and everything else is one tap away.
• On Ideas, the dishes from the meal plan fold under one heading that says how many there are. They start open.
• What you leave open or closed is remembered on that device only.

0.15.0 — 2026-09-17

• While an estimate is being worked out, the cat rolls along the line above the form and back, so the wait has some life in it. On an empty day it is the cat that was already sitting there; on a day with entries a smaller one turns up, rolls, and leaves when the numbers arrive.
• It moves the same way whatever you have eaten, and it never stays beside your figures. If your device is set to reduce motion, it does not move at all.

0.14.1 — 2026-09-17

• The journal passphrase can be shown while you type it, in Settings when you set it and on Today when you unlock. Press Show to check it, Hide to cover it again. There is no reset for that passphrase, so you should be able to see it before you save it.

0.14.0 — 2026-09-13

• "Things you make" on Ideas now remembers meals, not ingredients. A breakfast you logged as porridge, oat milk and butter three mornings shows once, as that breakfast, with its parts listed underneath. Add to today brings all of it to the form; Log it writes all of it.
• A usual now needs three separate days in the last ninety, not two.

0.13.0 — 2026-09-13

• "Add to today" on an Ideas dish, one of your usuals, or any meal in the plan now takes it to Today with the form filled in. Change the meal, the wording or the numbers, then press Log it yourself. Nothing goes in your log until you do.

0.12.1 — 2026-09-09

• Your log now lives in the same place as your account. Nothing you see changes.

0.12.0 — 2026-09-06

• "What you see" in Settings now has switches for Ideas, Plan and the "Your week, gently" note on Today, beside the one for Lately. Off hides it; nothing is deleted and nothing is said.

0.11.0 — 2026-09-06

• Lately lists the four most recent weeks; "What's been usual" still reads eight.
• Tap a month to open its own weeks — cut from the 1st of the month, never running into the next one.
• The Weeks and Months sections fold away and stay how you left them on that device.

0.10.0 — 2026-09-06

• Settings has moved out of the tab row and behind a small person icon at the top right. The four tabs fit on one line on a phone again.
• Bigger tap areas on the day arrows and the fold-out rows on Today.
• Number fields in Settings open the number keyboard on a phone.
• A visible outline when you move through the app with a keyboard.

0.9.0 — 2026-09-05

• Lately is easier to read at a glance: each week and month is a short list of slim bars, one per thing, with the words beside them. A soft band behind the bar shows what has been usual for you; nothing is coloured by how a week went.
• On the Android app with activity connected, Lately also shows distance a day, and you can set a steps aim in Settings. It draws the same way the calorie aim does: a band that fills toward it and stays full when over, never a colour, never a nudge. An aim, never a limit.
• A "What you see" card in Settings. Every part of the app is optional; Lately is the first thing you can switch off.

0.8.0 — 2026-09-05

• A new "Lately" tab: what has been usual for you, by week and by month. Each row is a range for calories and protein averaged across the days you wrote something down, and once there are a few weeks a line says where most weeks land. Fat appears only if you have set a fat aim. On the Android app with activity connected, steps a day sit beside each row; they still never leave the phone. No days, no targets, no scores.

0.7.0 — 2026-09-05

• A "Small comforts" line under Quiet Notes on days the journal has something in it that a small thing might help with: cramps, bloating, trouble sleeping, an appetite that is low or high. At most two lines, worked out on your device from your own notes, and never sent anywhere. They are offers, not instructions; nothing in the journal about how you feel or how you see yourself is ever commented on.

0.6.0 — 2026-09-05

• A private journal on Today: energy and pain level from 1 to 5, a handful of things worth noting (sleep, appetite, cravings, bloating, aches, how you feel about your body, desire), and three words for how the day felt. Everything is optional and a day with nothing noted looks like any other.
• It is locked with a passphrase only you know. Each day is encrypted on your device before it is saved, so the server holds letters it cannot read. The passphrase is asked for once each time the app opens. There is no reset: if it is forgotten, the journal is gone. Set it up in Settings.

0.5.0 — 2026-09-04

• A recipe you read in can now be saved as your dish: tell it how many the recipe serves and one portion is worked out from the ingredients and logged under the recipe's name. Type that name next time and it comes back as it was, no guessing. Log it still lets you say how much you had.

0.4.2 — 2026-09-04

• Nineteen more foods get a worked-out range: chia and flax seeds, cooked quinoa, kimchi and oat milk (from USDA FoodData Central), plus cola and diet cola, spirits and tonic, tea with milk, cream crackers, Ryvita, rich tea biscuits, Weetabix-type wheat biscuits, cornflakes, light mayo, Edam, ham and hot chocolate (from CoFID). "Oil" on its own now counts as cooking oil.
• Ten supermarket products get their real label numbers when you name the brand: Fage Total 2% and 0%, Weetabix, Heinz Beanz, Snickers, Cadbury Dairy Milk, Muller Light, McVitie's rich tea, Walkers ready salted and Mini Babybel (from Open Food Facts).
• Each computed range now says where its numbers came from: CoFID, a published label, USDA, or Open Food Facts.

0.4.1 — 2026-09-04

• Seventeen more everyday foods now get a worked-out range instead of a guess: kippers, margarine, brussels sprouts, red cabbage, dates, cocoa powder, goats cheese, red leicester, hot dogs, vegetarian sausages, mackerel, granola and spaghetti bolognese, plus sushi rice, bratwurst, dhal and white sourdough under the names you already use. They came from what this household actually logs.

0.4.0 — 2026-09-04

• Reading a recipe from screenshots now takes up to three at once, for the ingredients list that does not fit in one. Pick them together in your phone's gallery; they are read as one recipe.
• The screenshot button now says which photo matters: the ingredients list. The method is shown but never used for a range or a swap.

0.3.0 — 2026-09-04

• Gentle Plate runs as an Android app, not only in a browser. If you let it, it reads the movement your phone already records and widens the day's range a little — it never turns steps into calories and never asks you to earn anything.
• Fat sits in the day's header alongside calories and protein, if you want it there. Settings decides; it is off unless you turn it on.
• The three bands in the header say what they are. Before, you had to remember which was which.
• Sign-in codes and waitlist replies arrive as proper letters from Gentle Plate rather than plain machine mail.
• This page. Every release from here on adds an entry.

September 2026

• The Android app arrived (above), after a long stretch of making the web app behave like one — installable, offline-tolerant, and quiet about it.

August 2026

• Sign in with a code sent to your email. The app used to sit behind a gate that only invited accounts could pass. Now you ask for a code, type it in, and you are in.
• Photos stopped failing silently. Taking a picture of a plate on a phone could fail with one unhelpful sentence. The capture path was rebuilt, the different failures now say different things, and a request that trips over a bad connection retries itself without telling you.
• Going offline stopped losing anything. Entries made without a signal wait in a queue and go up when the connection comes back.
• A published privacy notice, at /privacy, with every claim in it traceable to the code that makes it true.
• Export everything, or delete everything. Both are yours to do, without asking anyone.
• A public page at gentleplate.uk, and a waitlist for people who wanted in before invitations existed.
• Underneath: security headers, encrypted backups, and the tests that keep one person's log from ever reaching another's. None of it is visible, and all of it is the point.

July 2026

• The log, grouped by meal, with sections you can fold away.
• Estimates as ranges. Describe what you ate and get "280–380 kcal" rather than a confident number that was never true. Where the food is in the bundled UK food index, the range is arithmetic rather than a guess.
• Carbohydrate and fat alongside calories and protein.
• A choice of how numbers look — comfortable ranges, or single estimates if precision helps you more than it costs you.
• Barcodes, for packaged food, via Open Food Facts.
• A recipe helper: paste a URL or a screenshot and get a gentler version of the same dish.
• The cycle, if you track one. Phase-aware meal ideas, nutrition notes for where you are, targets that shift in the luteal phase, and a way to say "actually I am somewhere else" when the dates are wrong.
• Meals you have logged before come back as suggestions, and the app quietly learns when you correct an estimate.
• A gentle daily and weekly recap — what happened, not how you did.
• Gluten-free and disliked-ingredient filtering on the ideas.
• Food text and photos are routed so the model provider keeps nothing. Nothing you type about food ends up in a URL.
