Build 30

2026-09-26

iOS build 21

2026-09-24
  • Check-in location: now keeps reading for a few seconds and takes the most recent GPS fix instead of the first one (which could be a cached location from a place you recently visited). Plus an operator-only Test push button in Settings.

iOS build 20

2026-09-24
  • Native push notifications: the app now asks permission and registers with Apple Push, so you get a real notification (even when the app is closed) when a task is assigned to you, you are nudged, or a reminder is due. Tapping it opens the right item.

iOS build 19

2026-09-24
  • Check-in accuracy restored: reverted the build-18 speed change that could accept the wrong cached location. Waits for a GPS-grade fix again (accurate, if a touch slower).

iOS build 18

2026-09-24
  • Check-in loads much faster: it takes the first fresh location fix (still ignoring the stale cache) instead of waiting for GPS to sharpen to a few metres. Accurate, quicker.

iOS build 17

2026-09-24
  • Check-in stale-location fix: iOS was handing back a cached GPS fix from your last check-in spot (and force-quitting the app doesn't clear iOS's location cache).
  • Check-in now ignores cached fixes and only uses a location generated after you open the sheet — a live GPS read.
  • The "Near <neighborhood> · ±Nm" line should now match where you actually are.

iOS build 16

2026-09-24
  • Real fix for check-in landing ~a mile off: it was accepting the fast Wi-Fi location fix (Union Square) instead of waiting for GPS (your real spot in Chelsea).
  • Check-in now waits for a GPS-grade fix and takes the most accurate one.
  • The "Near <neighborhood>" line shows your neighborhood + accuracy so you can confirm.

iOS build 15

2026-09-24
  • Fixed check-in showing places miles away — it was using a stale cached location; it now waits for a fresh, accurate GPS fix and shows "Near <city>" so you can confirm.
  • Tap the Lists tab again to jump back to your list-of-lists.
  • Tag/category filters now open in a drawer as a wrapping cloud (no more oversized left-to-right strip).
  • Native Settings — General, Tags, and Item categories (no more web punch-out).
  • Precise-location upgrade on check-in, and an Open Settings shortcut when location is off.

iOS build 13

2026-09-24
  • Tasks: swipe right to nudge, swipe left to snooze (now persists), long-press for a quick menu (make priority, share, complete).
  • Lists: assign tags to any item from your existing tags.
  • New Discover tab.
  • Smoother tab transitions and animations.
  • Native Settings — Household, Calendar, Tasks, Lists, Trips.
  • Removed the stray Project picker on new tasks.

Build 12 · 1.0 (12)

2026-09-24
  • Snooze now holds for EVERY task (swipe-left or the editor's Hide-until), assigned or not — an assigned list-item task now persists its snooze instead of silently dropping it.

Build 11 · 1.0 (11)

2026-09-24
  • Fix: snoozed tasks now stay hidden after restarting the app (item-tasks can't be snoozed; a snooze that doesn't persist no longer fake-hides the task).
  • Includes build 10 (project picker removed, snooze picker dismiss, cuisine/region + category filters).

Build 10 · 1.0 (10)

2026-09-24
  • New-task screen: removed the (retired) Project picker.
  • Snooze: choosing a date now applies + closes the picker.
  • Restaurants filter by cuisine (built-in) + region, most-used first.
  • Grocery/shopping filter by category (aisle).

Build 9 · 1.0 (9)

2026-09-23
  • Item tags — tag restaurants, wines, shopping, watch & more (e.g. "Hamptons" / "NYC"); filter any list by tag; add/remove tags on an item. Tags follow the item across lists and onto its shared card.
  • One Restaurants list, tagged by region (Hamptons / NYC) instead of two separate lists; new check-ins tag themselves by location.
  • Add a shared card to your own list — the "＋ Add to my …" button on a shared restaurant/wine/watch/reading card.
  • Share an item straight to a connected Gatherby household (it lands on their board to add), plus a "Shared with you" inbox to add or dismiss.
  • Find on Amazon on shopping-list items.
  • Beta: start on the basic app and add features yourself in Settings → Store via the test checkout.

Build 8 · speed + grocery

2026-09-23
  • Checking off a grocery item is now instant
  • Clear 'Shopping in progress' banner
  • Grocery swipes: right = Not available, left = Not needed
  • Restyled add-item bar
  • Snoozed tasks hide immediately

Build 7 · lots

2026-09-23

  • Clearer task editor (title vs note)

  • Snooze a task by swiping
  • Start/Finish shopping sessions

Build 6 · polish

2026-09-23
  • Replay welcome screen in Settings
  • The sign-in dialog now correctly says Gatherby

Build 5 · deep links

2026-09-23

  • Native day-timeline Calendar (hour grid, colored blocks, now-line)
  • Rewritten share sheet with a real Saving / Saved state

Build 3 · weather drawer

2026-09-23
  • Weather tucked behind the date to keep the header clean

Build 2 · Google sign-in

2026-09-23
  • Sign in with Google
  • Settings lists all connected accounts: Calendar, Tasks, Contacts, Todoist

Build 1 · first TestFlight

2026-09-23
  • The first Gatherby build
  • Sign in, board, tasks, lists, calendar, check-in

Discover feed: check-ins stay out, pictures keep their shape

2026-10-01
  • Places you checked in to no longer show up in the feed or on profiles as visits
  • Posters and covers show whole in the preview; restaurant photos stay wide

Discover cards open in place on mobile web

2026-10-01
  • Something already on your list opens your full card inside Discover, with ‹ Discover to go back
  • Press and hold a Discover card to preview it; tap to open

Discover on mobile web matches the iPhone app

2026-10-01
  • Feed, Popular, Near you and Circle tabs on mobile web
  • Household profiles, item cards and the household list open in place
  • Phones opening a Discover link land in the mobile Discover tab

Find a wine on Wine.com

2026-09-28
  • Wine cards have a Find on Wine.com link that searches for that wine
  • On the web now; in the app with the next update

The calendar follows your time zone

2026-09-28
  • The calendar, today and due dates now use your household time zone instead of always Eastern
  • Set automatically from your home location (Settings, General), or pick one there
  • Works in the current app, no update needed

Location autocomplete crash

2026-09-26
  • Tapping a suggested address in the event editor crashed the app — the list re-read an emptied array by index. Fixed by iterating stable value structs.

Restaurant lists: cuisine now groups, not filters

2026-09-24
  • The tag filter on Restaurants was overloaded with ~170 cuisine chips. Cuisine now drives the grouped sections (Italian, Sushi…) instead, and the filter chips are just region — NYC and Hamptons.

Snooze on an assigned task now persists (was silently lost)

2026-09-24
  • An assigned list item surfaces on the board as a task whose id is the list-item id, so PATCHing it as a task did nothing. The server now persists the snooze on the list item (new list_items.snooze_until), the board hides it until then, and the iOS swipe was restored for all tasks. Swipe and the editor Hide-until behave identically.

iOS: snoozed tasks reappeared after restarting the app

2026-09-24
  • An assigned list item shown as a task couldn't actually be snoozed (its id isn't a real task), so the snooze only hid it locally and it came back on relaunch. Item-tasks no longer offer snooze, and any snooze that doesn't persist un-hides the task instead of faking it.

iOS: the snooze date picker now closes when you pick a date

2026-09-24
  • Choosing a day in the snooze calendar now applies the date and dismisses the picker — no separate confirm tap.

iOS: new-task screen no longer shows the removed Project picker

2026-09-24
  • Projects were removed from the product, but the iOS task editor still showed a Project picker on new tasks. Removed.

Billing page + checkout fixes

2026-09-23
  • Fixed a couple of server errors in the test-mode billing flow

Support tickets branded Gatherby

2026-09-23
  • In-app problem reports now show as Gatherby in the helpdesk

Sign-in dialog shows the right name

2026-09-23
  • The iOS sign-in prompt said 'FamilyBoard'; it now says Gatherby

Shopping session gives clear feedback

2026-09-23
  • Starting a session now shows a green 'Shopping in progress' banner

Grocery checkbox is instant

2026-09-23
  • Removed a ~1-second delay before the bubble filled and the haptic fired

Snooze no longer leaves the task on the list

2026-09-23
  • Snoozing a task now hides it immediately
