SHOP TOGETHER, IN REAL TIME • Share a list with family or housemates — add, tick off, and edit together live • Items auto-sort into aisles so you shop the store in order • Add several items at once by voice — say them, check the review step, done • Or scan a barcode or type — either way, items are categorised for you TURN ANY RECIPE INTO A LIST • Import a recipe from a URL straight to your list • Snap a photo of a cookbook page or handwritten recipe and Nimblist reads the ingredients • Save, tag, and share recipes with your household COOK FROM WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE • Track your kitchen pantry — see what you can cook right now • Adding a recipe skips what's already in your cupboard • Free use-by estimates flag food before it spoils, so you waste less PLAN THE WEEK • A simple meal planner that builds your shopping list as you go • Share a meal plan with the people you cook for WORKS WITH YOUR LIFE • Hands-free adds with Alexa • Connect to Home Assistant • Capture recipes from your laptop with the Nimblist browser extension PRIVACY-CONSCIOUS • Export your data anytime • A free self-hosting option for the technically inclined Free to use, with an optional Premium upgrade for pantry-to-recipe matching and photo pantry import.

This release is mostly about making the app trustworthy when your connection isn't. Offline and syncing • Edits and deletes made offline could get stranded in the queue, or be overwritten by a background refresh. Both are fixed. • If an edit failed to sync, the item was removed from your list even though it still existed. It now stays put. • The "couldn't sync" banner's Retry button now actually retries. Lists and sharing • Unsharing a list now asks for confirmation first, and a failure no longer clears the rest of your shares. • The Family tab refreshes on its own, so pending invites and new members appear without a pull-to-refresh. • Reopening a finished list no longer counts as another completed shop. Meal planner and recipes • Editing a meal plan someone shared with you created duplicate entries and silently failed to remove the old one. Fixed. • Fixed importing a recipe from a photo, and recipe images now load reliably. • Aisle colours now match the real aisle names. Accounts and notifications • New: sign out of all other devices, from the Account sheet. • Push notifications now register reliably even if your connection drops during sign-in, instead of silently staying off. • Signing out now clears device-specific state, so a second account on a shared phone gets a clean start. • Sign-in errors now explain what actually went wrong instead of showing a raw error code. Accessibility and polish • Text colours now meet WCAG AA contrast, and the login and register screens work properly with a screen reader and an external keyboard. • We no longer ask you to rate the app while you're standing at the checkout.
