## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-01-29

MycoMate just got its biggest update ever. A complete visual redesign, photo journals, smart care guides, push notifications, and so much more. Here's everything:

Fresh New Look
We rebuilt every screen from the ground up with a new design system. New colors, typography, and spacing across the entire app — including a beautiful sage green theme that feels right at home in a mushroom grower's toolkit. Dark mode has never looked better.

Photo Gallery
Document your grow journey with photos. Snap a pic at any stage, add a quick note like "First pins!", and watch your gallery fill up over time. Scroll through thumbnails or tap to view full-screen. Your photos sync to the cloud so they're never lost.

Care Instructions
Not sure what your grow needs today? Every stage now comes with detailed, mushroom-specific care instructions. Tap any task to expand step-by-step guidance covering temperature, humidity, airflow, and light — tailored to whether you're growing Lion's Mane, Shiitake, Oyster, or anything else.

Care & Harvest Logging
Log your misting, fresh air exchange, watering, and inspections with a single tap. Track every harvest with weight and quality ratings. Your care history lives right inside each grow, so you can see exactly what you did and when.

Push Notifications
MycoMate now knows when to nudge you. Get reminders to mist your bags, alerts when a grow moves to a new stage, and a heads-up when it's time to harvest. Choose exactly which notifications you want from 6 categories — or turn them all on and let us keep you on track.

Grower Profile & Levels
You're not just growing mushrooms — you're leveling up. Your new grower profile tracks your journey from Sprout all the way to Mycologist. Earn points, unlock achievements, and see how far you've come.

Redesigned Planner
Your grows now shine with unique color themes per mushroom type. Filter with pill-shaped buttons, see your grows grouped by species, and enjoy a much cleaner card layout with progress rings and batch badges.

Smarter Insights
The Insights tab got a major overhaul. See your weekly care activity at a glance, get alerts when a grow falls behind schedule, and track your species distribution with new progress bars. Your achievements now preview right on the dashboard.
