Kitcha is built by one person — me. This page is the honest record of what I've changed and when, so you can see the app is being worked on and not quietly abandoned. Newest first.
Updates arrive automatically through the App Store and Google Play. Some things (the way Kitcha answers you) update on my side without you needing a new version at all.
Version 1.0.3
The recipe box got simpler. Recipes now file into one clear list of meal types — Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snack, Dessert, Potluck, Family Recipes, plus any you invent. Recipes you import get filed automatically, and you can change the meal type any time. The old double-category system is gone; it confused everybody, me included.
Kitchen setup moved out of your way. It now comes after the free-trial screen and you can skip it entirely. You shouldn't have to inventory your pantry before you're allowed to look around — especially if you downloaded Kitcha when you weren't even home.
Fixed: saving a recipe as “Dessert” was being rejected. That wasn't you.
Version 1.0.2
Hands-free recipe walkthroughs. Ask Kitcha to walk you through a saved recipe and she reads it aloud one step at a time, then waits until you say “next”. No touching the phone with dough on your hands. This one arrived without an app update — it went live on my side.
Receipts now tidy your grocery list. Scanning a grocery receipt crosses those items off your list while it stocks your kitchen, instead of making you do the same job twice.
If you email me about your subscription, I can actually find your account now instead of staring at an anonymous ID.
Version 1.0.1
Recipe photos. Recipes you import from a website keep their picture, and you can photograph the meal you actually cooked and keep it on the recipe.
Voice character cards. All eight voices, with faces — so picking one feels like picking a person instead of reading a dropdown.
Add a plain item to your grocery list without it turning into a duplicate recipe.
Notes you write on a recipe now save to your account, not just to the phone you wrote them on.
Side dishes stack properly in the meal planner instead of shoving the whole day around.
Fixed the meal planner adding things twice when you tapped quickly.
Version 1.0.0
Kitcha launched. On the App Store and Google Play, on the same day, after a long stretch of nights and weekends at my kitchen table.
Everything above came after that — because launching wasn't the finish line, it was the part where real people started telling me what was wrong.
Older than this? Kitcha was in testing with a small group of families for months before launch — dozens of test builds, fixing things nobody else ever had to see. This public list starts on launch day.
