What's New in Kitchen Ledger

2.0.0

August 16, 2026

Version 2.0 is a rebuild of everything underneath. ALL 50 STATES, PLUS DC Every state and the District of Columbia now have a compliance entry — cap, permit rules, allowed foods, sales channels, and label requirements. Each one shows when we last checked it and links to the agency, so you can see how current our information is instead of trusting it blindly. Michigan, Georgia and Virginia all changed their laws in the last year and our old data had them wrong. They are corrected. INVOICES, DEPOSITS AND BALANCES Take a deposit to hold a date, track what's still owed, and send a branded invoice or receipt as a PDF. No storefront, no payment processing, no percentage of your sale — just the paperwork. TODAY VIEW Your home screen now opens with what actually needs doing: today's pickups, overdue balances, and what you're owed in total. PASTE AN ORDER Paste a customer's text or DM and Kitchen Ledger reads the order out of it — customer, items, quantities, date — matching prices against your own recipe list. This happens entirely on your iPhone. The message is never sent anywhere. BACKUP YOUR DATA Export everything to a single file and restore it on a new phone. Free for everyone, because charging you to not lose your own records would be indefensible. REMINDERS THAT ARRIVE IN TIME Pickup reminders the day before, a Monday morning summary of your week, and quarterly estimated-tax reminders a week ahead of the deadline rather than on the day. ALSO FIXED • Prices with cents are typeable again — "$12.50" used to be impossible • Subscriptions now survive closing the app • Dark mode works when set to follow your system • Dates save on your local day, not UTC — evening orders were being dated tomorrow, which put New Year's Eve sales in the wrong tax year • The cap gauge and the Schedule C export now agree with each other
