Roadmap
What is coming next.
Your Food is built by one person, and most of what gets built comes from what people ask for. This page is where those decisions become visible.
Nothing here is a promise with a date on it. What I can offer is that the decisions are written down in the open rather than kept in my head. Suggestions are read and plenty of them end up on this list, but the call is mine: an idea has to fit where the app is going, and it has to be something I want in the app I use myself.
Being built
In development right now.
A more accessible onboarding experience
Redesign onboarding to make the app easier to understand from the first launch and help more new users adopt it for the long term.
A completely redesigned icon library
Improve name search, categories and favourites, add more icons where needed and localise every icon name. Favourites will also make it easier to organise custom icon selections.
Inventory invitations through share links
Make sharing easier with a link that opens the app and automatically joins the inventory. If the app is not installed, the link will open the appropriate store and, on Android, preserve the invitation after installation through Google Play.
App and store finishing touches
Fix several small issues, make the terms of use accessible from the app and add a dedicated image for every in-app purchase on the store pages.
Up next
Decided, not started.
Clearer dialogs
Add titles to confirmation, choice and other dialogs so that every action and response from the app is easier to understand.
A more polished and animated interface
Add useful animations and continue improving the interface visually without compromising readability or performance.
Data export
Allow app data to be exported in an open format. The final choice between CSV, XML, JSON or a combination of formats is still to be determined.
New inventory views
Offer several ways to display an inventory, such as lists with different levels of detail or a grid. The final selection of views is still to be defined.
A view-only role
Add a viewer role so that a shared inventory can be viewed without allowing any changes.
Better performance for large inventories
Optimise display and interactions so that inventories containing many products remain fast and pleasant to use.
A more complete budget manager
Improve the budget manager and allow purchases to be recorded directly from it, rather than only when creating a product.
Under consideration
Being weighed up. Your opinion counts here.
A recipe manager connected to the inventory
Suggest recipes using available products while prioritising those that expire soon. AI-powered assistance with a credit system is being considered.
Tags for organising products
Add tags to products to make them easier to organise, filter and find, potentially with a small icon. The exact system is still to be defined.
Redesigned inventory search
Redesign search across inventories and shopping lists with more efficient navigation and possible integration with product tags.
A library of ready-made templates
Offer pre-filled lists of common products to make it faster to create an inventory or shopping list.
An expiration calendar
Display products in a calendar based on their expiration dates to make it easier to anticipate what should be used first.
Product removal and food waste tracking
When a product is removed from an inventory, allow the user to specify whether it was consumed, discarded because it expired or removed for another reason. This information could feed a food waste dashboard to help users understand what is being lost and gradually reduce their waste.
What already shipped
From a first release to version 4.0.
The turning points, not a changelog. Plenty of smaller releases and every bug fix are missing from this list.
🚀 Launch
The first public release of Your Food, on Google Play.
🎨 Icons and languages
A new library of around 1,500 icons, a reworked interface, and Spanish and Italian added.
☁️ Cloud and shared inventories
Sign in with Google, real-time sync between devices, shared inventories, units of measure, prices and spending statistics.
🔎 Inventory search
Find a product in the inventory by typing a few letters of its name.
📝 Product notes and per-list settings
Notes on a product, expiry settings that differ from one list to the next, faster search, and more than 200 new icons.
🍎 iOS and tablets
Sign in with an Apple account on iOS, a layout that suits tablets, duplicating an item, and account management.
⭐ Filters, sorting and favourites
Inventory filters, search and sorting inside the shopping list, quantity automations, and favourite icon categories.
📊 Spending analytics and QR sharing
Compare spending between periods, choose your own period, and share an inventory by scanning a QR code.
📷 Barcode scanner and multiple lists
Scan a barcode to add a product, keep several shopping lists at once, pick a background, and a much-modernised interface.
🏡 An inventory per place, sublists and real-time sharing
Rebuilt from the ground up: a separate inventory for every place, sublists inside them, and real-time household sharing with roles and members. The shopping list transfers straight into your stock, a history keeps track of what changed, and the interface is clearer and faster. Your data comes across on its own, and a long list of fixes closes the release.
A great idea that is not on this list?
Then I want to hear it. Almost everything the app does today started as a message from someone using it, and this page is where those messages end up once I have decided to build them.

- No ads. Not in the free version, not in Premium, not on this site.
- Your inventory is yours. Nothing about you is sold or shared.
- Measurement on this site is off until you allow it, and reversible.
- Ask for your data to be deleted at any time, without giving a reason.
