Shopping Lists That Work Without Signal Lost signal in the store? Your shopping lists now stay on screen instead of turning into an error. They are saved on your phone, so they open even when you launch Ghee with no connection, with a note showing when they were last updated. Ghee Pro lets you check items off while offline, and your changes sync to your server as soon as you are back online. No More False Offline Mode One slow request used to switch the whole app into offline mode until you refreshed. Ghee now double-checks that your server is actually unreachable before going offline, and reconnects on its own when it comes back. Bug Fixes - Fixed shopping lists, cookbooks, and meal plans silently stopping at 50 items - Reordering items on a shopping list no longer overwhelms smaller servers, and fast drags no longer end up out of order - Option pickers now match the iOS 26 look - Passkey sign-in shows a note when your server is older than Mealie v3.23.0 - General stability fixes
