## What is YouCai?

Tired of finding spoiled veggies you forgot you bought?

- Receipt scan: snap a grocery receipt and items land in your fridge
- Waste stats: streak days saved, items rescued, unlock progress

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.9 — 2026-08-30

Expired items now show how many days they have actually been stored, instead of asserting "expired N days ago." Shelf-life figures are often estimates, and stating an estimate that confidently makes people throw out food that is still fine. The red highlight, priority sorting and expiry reminders all stay.

Snap a photo and items go straight into your fridge — you are no longer asked to set a shelf life for every single item. Adjust one in the item detail page and similar items follow suit next time.

Shelf-life reference data now covers 117 common ingredients, with sensible per-category defaults, so condiments and leafy greens no longer get the same number.

The home screen widget has been redesigned around your actual ingredients: it lays out their images so you can see what is in the fridge at a glance, and the recipe card tells you which ingredient it is helping you use up.

New app icon.

### 1.0.8 — 2026-08-15

What's new:
- Home Screen widgets: "Expiring Soon" and "What to Cook", each in two sizes. See what to eat first without opening the app, and tap straight through to the right page.
- A new app icon, plus automatic artwork for ingredients that previously fell back to a generic image.
- Fixed a bug where adding a whole batch failed when one photo mixed known and unknown ingredients, and polished several display details and sign-in error messages.

Thanks for using YouCai. Feedback is always welcome inside the app.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-08-09

This update:
- New: Monthly Recap — look back each month at what you ate and what you tossed, see an estimated savings summary, and share a card with friends to get a clearer picture of your food spending.
- Smoother recording and reminders, plus bug fixes.

Thanks for using YouCai — send us feedback anytime.
