## What is EatPal?

Meal planning built for the parent of a picky eater.

EatPal turns the daily "what will they actually eat?" question into a 5-minute routine. Track each kid's safe foods, plan the week, auto-generate the grocery list, and lean on an AI coach that knows which foods your child will actually touch.

— WHY PARENTS PICK EATPAL —
• Built around real picky-eating science — food chaining, safe-food libraries, tiny-bite progressions.
• Every kid has a separate profile. Track allergies, textures they tolerate, and foods they're warming up to.
• Meal plans that respect your kid's "yes list" instead of fighting it.
• Grocery lists generated from the week's plan, organized by aisle, with a one-tap share to your partner.

— CORE FEATURES —
• Weekly meal planner for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks
• Per-kid profiles with safe foods, allergens, and preferences
• Barcode scanner to log packaged foods in seconds
• Smart grocery lists grouped by grocery-store aisle
• Nutrition summaries (calories, protein, iron, fiber, calcium) per kid per day
• Recipe library with kid-friendly tags and scaling
• Home-screen widget showing today's meals at a glance
• Offline-first — the plan survives a weak signal at the store

— FOR PICKY EATERS —
• Food chaining tools walk you from a food your kid likes to a new target food in small steps
• Try-bite tracker celebrates tiny wins (a lick, a sniff, a single bite)
• Sensory-friendly meal ideas filtered by texture and color
• Safe-food discovery — never get stuck at "what will they eat tonight?"

— AI MEAL COACH (Pro and up) —
• Suggests meals built from YOUR kid's actual safe-food list
• Answers nutrition questions in plain English
• Adapts as your kid's preferences grow

— FOR GROWING FAMILIES (Family Plus) —
• Unlimited kid profiles
• Shared household plan — two parents, one grocery list
• Grocery delivery integration (Instacart)
• Meal voting so kids get a say in dinner
• Weekly nutrition reports emailed every Sunday

— FOR FEEDING PROFESSIONALS (Professional) —
• Manage multiple client families from one dashboard
• Exportable nutrition reports for SLPs, OTs, and pediatric dietitians
• Food-chaining case templates
• Bulk client onboarding

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.8 — 2026-07-22

Bug fixes

### 1.0.7 — 2026-06-15

Cook Mode
  Follow recipes step by step with the screen staying on the whole time — no more tapping to wake your phone with floury hands.

  Smarter Pantry
  Your pantry now updates intelligently when you mark a recipe as made: quantities are scaled for your serving size and converted to the right units automatically. A new coverage badge on the planner shows at a glance what you already
  have in stock, and you'll get a gentle nudge if you're running low after cooking.

  New Home Tab
  The dashboard is now your home screen, giving you faster access to your week at a glance. Recipes have moved to the More tab.

  Barcode Scanner Upgrades
  Added a flashlight button for scanning in dim lighting, plus a manual entry option if a barcode won't scan.

  Widgets & Watch
  Widget taps now deep-link directly to the right screen. Apple Watch complications now correctly read from the shared App Group store. Widgets also refresh automatically after Siri shortcuts run.

  Missing Ingredient Prompts
  When you add a meal to your plan, you'll be prompted about any ingredients you're running low on — from any add path.

  Performance & Polish
  Faster image loading with a real thumbnail cache, loading skeletons while content arrives, and improved offline sync reliability.

  Accessibility
  VoiceOver support for charts, day chips, and stat labels. Animations now respect your Reduce Motion setting throughout the app.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-06-01

What's New

  Syncing that just works
  Recipes, grocery lists, pantry items, meal-plan templates, and shopping sessions now sync across every device on
  your account — add something on your phone, see it on the web, and vice versa.

  Better AI meal planning
  Meal suggestions now use your child's profile, safe and try-bite foods, recent meals, and what's about to expire
  in your pantry to recommend real meals — no more generic fallbacks.

  Clearer recipes
  Every recipe now shows how many servings it makes, and the serving stepper scales the ingredient amounts right
  along with it.

  Grocery & pantry fixes
  "Move to pantry" now saves reliably, and store aisle layouts load correctly so your list is ordered to match your
  store.

  Stability
  Squashed a number of bugs that could cause screens to fail to load or data to appear missing.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-05-12

What's new
  
  Dinner in 20 minutes? Tap Tonight Mode for three kid-fit recipes ranked against what's in your pantry — then cook hands-free with step-by-step prompts and a built-in
   timer.

  Snap a grocery receipt and watch your pantry fill itself in. EatPal reads the receipt with on-device vision, suggests the right aisle, and ignores the stuff you     
  didn't actually buy.

  "What can I make right now?" finds recipes you can cook from your current pantry, flags the one or two ingredients you're short, and one-taps the missing items to   
  your grocery list.

  Smart Quick Add for groceries — type a partial word or snap a product photo and we infer the name, unit, aisle, and brand. New AR Shelf Finder points your camera    
  down the aisle to spot items on your list.

  Apple sign-in upgrades: bind a real email to your Apple account so you stop missing reminders sent to your @privaterelay address, and set a password so you can sign 
  in either way.

  Other goodies in this release:
  - "Expiring soon" pantry card so nothing rots in the back of the fridge
  - Restock predictor learns your buying cadence and pre-flags items running low
  - Shopping Mode — bigger taps, dark theme, brightness pinned for one-handed in-store use
  - Post-meal feedback (1-5 emoji + note) so the planner learns what worked
  - Try-bite streaks with milestone badges
  - Family sharing via 6-character invite codes
  - Budget calculator with a weekly spend forecast
  - HealthKit kid growth-data import on profile setup
  - Expanded Siri shortcuts ("Hey Siri, what's for dinner?")

  Fixes
  - Resolved a sign-in error ("Invalid authentication credentials") for users on the latest build — our backend was rotated and the app was still presenting the old   
  key. You should now be able to log in normally.
