What is new in 1.6: Rate the recipes you cook. Every recipe now has a Rate button. Tap it to leave 1 to 5 stars and a short note. Helps us keep improving the recipes we generate. Redeem promo codes. New Redeem a code option in the paywall. If you have a Foodily Plus code, enter it there for free access. No card required. Codes come in 1, 5, and 10 year tiers. Small polish. The Plans screen shows a cleaner state for promo members (expiry date instead of billing controls, since there is no subscription to manage).

What's new in 1.5: Siri Shortcuts. Ask Siri to "show my saved recipes", "open the Foodily community", or "scan my fridge" and Foodily jumps to the right place. Zero setup — just say the phrase. Cook-time and popularity filters on Community. Two new controls next to the cuisine chips: sort by Popular (most-hearted first) or Recent, and cap by cook time (under 15, 30, or 60 minutes) so you can pick something you actually have time to make. Offline saved recipes. Your cookbook now renders instantly from local storage the moment you open it, and stays viewable when you lose signal. Hearts you tap offline sync automatically when you're back online. Community posts now carry cook time so the new filter works on every post from here on. Posts from before 1.5 stay visible under the default "Any time" filter.

What's new in 1.4: Weekly generation limit. To keep the app sustainable we now cap Claude-backed recipe generation at 40 per user per week. A counter under the header shows how many you have left; resets Monday. This is high enough that regular cooking is unaffected, but bounds cost so we can keep this app running for everyone. Community feed permissions. Fixes a Firestore rules configuration that was silently blocking the global feed. Posts that were invisible before will now appear. Small polish. Better error surfacing on Firestore failures so the next issue like this is diagnosed in seconds instead of days.

What's new in 1.3: Community feed loads reliably. Fixes an issue where posts wouldn't appear in the feed for anyone (the underlying database query was missing an index — the post existed the whole time, just invisible). Reliable niche diets. Keto, Paleo, Pescatarian and other diet filters now produce fully on-plan recipes. Verified across a large test set — the prompt correctly excludes off-diet items even when they'd be technically available in pantry staples. Cookbook is finally a real cookbook. Tap the Saved chip to see every recipe you've ever hearted, not just the ones from the current generation. New hearts save the full recipe payload, so your history sticks around across generations. Quick access. Heart-shaped Favorites button on the Community tab so your saved recipes are always one tap away, no matter which tab you're on. Under the hood: report + block controls on community posts, better error surfacing when Firestore rejects a query (so we can actually diagnose the next bug like this instead of showing an empty screen).

What's new in 1.2: Community feed. Peek what other cooks are making — real photos of dishes people cooked with Foodily, filter by cuisine, tap the heart to save a favorite. Cookbook-quality recipes. Every step now reads like a real recipe (technique, timing, sensory cues) instead of a template. Big upgrade for the intermediate + advanced crowd. Faster first scan. Fridge scan is roughly twice as fast on the first tap of a session — no more warmup pause. Under the hood: report + block controls in the feed, moderation queue, community photo storage, and a few speech-engine tweaks that make voice-over start instantly.

What's new in 1.1: Faster recipe generation. Six-recipe grid loads roughly twice as fast as before. Smarter fridge scan. Opaque containers (tins, tupperware, jars) are now flagged instead of guessed at — tap to identify what's inside. Multi-shelf scanning. Scan the top shelf, freezer, and pantry as separate shots and generate from the combined ingredient list. Behind the scenes: cookbook sort options, interactive step timers, and community sharing groundwork courtesy of the team.
