## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.0 — 2026-11-02

Ordering
- Type or paste an order or stock count into Ask and Smelter turns it into your list.
- Ask remembers the names you use for items. You can see and edit them in Smart order settings.
- Suggested order builds an order from what you usually send. Remove any lines, then add the rest.
- Supplier lists show your usual amount next to each item and tell you when an order looks far from normal.
- Tap an amount to change it. Plus and minus now go up and down in whole numbers.
- Pick a recent note again with one tap.
- Voice order (Beta) 

Stock
- A shorter Save stock summary. Items you have not set are easy to spot and fill in.
- Your unsent order, stock counts and item notes stay put when the list refreshes.

For managers
- Add items with a main unit and a second unit, and add several in a row.
- Import a stock list from text or screenshots on a person's page.
- Choose whether a person's checklist opens on Stock or Order.
- Send a ping any time you need to. Smelter asks first if that person was pinged in the last hour.

Faster and smoother
- Faster launch with fewer loading screens.
- Sheets and note boxes move up with the keyboard right away, and the item form buttons stay above it.
- The inventory list keeps its place after you save an item.
- Other fixes and improvements.

### 2.8 — 2026-10-30

Stock counts
Count what's on the shelf right from your list. Use a number, Out, A lot or Full, add a note, and save. Counts and orders stay separate, so a count never sends an order by itself.

Smarter supplier orders
Managers see every count and order for a supplier in one place. Fill suggested tops each item up to its par level, in the right unit. Order later moves an item to another day and keeps the amount you set.

New Team page
See each person's order list, shelf levels, reminders and tips on one page. Preview exactly what someone will see before you save, link an app login to a tips name, and change roles in a tap.

Tip reminders that fit your shifts
Reminders follow the days people actually work, and each person can mute days they're off.

Easier inventory setup
Add an item with its supplier, storage area and units in one form. Editing an item now keeps every storage area it belongs to.

Import past orders from screenshots
Pick screenshots of old order texts. Smelter reads them, ignores the chat around them, and asks you to box the order when it isn't sure.

Polish and fixes
- Large text sizes stay readable without breaking buttons or inputs.
- Unsent order lists are saved, so you can pick up where you left off.
- Faster start-up with a loading view instead of a blank screen.
- Clearer messages when signing in fails or an account isn't on a team yet.
- Deleting your account now works for every account.
- Many smaller fixes across ordering, fulfillment and Tips.

Happy Halloween!

### 2.6 — 2026-10-24

- Guided setup: new teams get a setup checklist, a short tour of ordering and a Tips tour on a sample shift. Tours can be skipped.
