Add Shopping Items Your Way Type "2 cups flour" into a shopping list and Ghee picks out the amount, unit and food that match your Mealie server, highlights them as you type, and saves them as real fields, with the food's label. Anything it does not recognize is saved as a note, like before. Want more control? Tap the expand button in the Add Item sheet for a full form like the one in Mealie: amount, unit, food, label and note. Ghee remembers which form you used last. Editing an item now keeps its amount, unit, food and recipe link. Stay Logged In for Good Mealie ends every sign-in after a set time, 48 hours by default on Mealie 3.25 and newer, so if you did not open Ghee for a couple of days you had to log in again. With Stay logged in turned on, and always with single sign-on, Ghee now stays signed in until you log out. Fixes and Improvements - The meal plan week view now opens on today - Cook mode now uses the serving size you picked on the recipe - Recipe edits now save on Mealie servers older than 3.10 when servings or yield are left empty - The tab bar no longer sits above the keyboard while you search recipes - Fixed the sign-in screen freezing after a single sign-on error on iOS 26 - New "Rate Ghee" link in Account under Help - General stability fixes
