Every release, in the open.

• Product origin is now chosen from a country list when editing, so entries stay consistent
• Your contributions and settings now follow you more reliably, even after reinstalling
• Added safeguards to keep community-submitted content appropriate
• Behind-the-scenes stability and quality improvements

Under the hood

• Your identity in Tayyib is now tied to your iCloud account instead of a per-install device ID, so contribution credit survives reinstalls and new phones. The migration is additive: nothing is deleted, and it falls back to the old behavior if you're signed out of iCloud.
• Community-submitted text (aliases, flags, product names) is screened by an automated moderation check before it's saved.

• A fresh new look: redesigned Home screen and navigation
• New Edit Product page with Kosher and Vegetarian / Vegan info
• Redesigned feedback form
• Smoother scanning with live progress while we read the label
• Product barcode number now shown on the edit page for easy reference
• Fixed duplicate ingredient processing
• Redesigned release notes as a timeline, fixing notes that were cut off

Under the hood

• No API key ships in the app anymore. Every AI request now goes through Tayyib's own server, which holds the key and accepts only narrow, validated inputs.
• Verdicts are deterministic: the model runs with sampling pinned server-side, so the same ingredient gets the same classification on every scan.
• Classification prompts live on the server, so accuracy fixes ship in minutes instead of waiting on an App Store review.
• A new admin review workflow: a queue for unverified products, a queue for community flags, and an Ingredient Center where reviewers write sourced explanations and lock verified classifications so the AI can't override them.
• Fixed a race where two overlapping analysis runs could add the same ingredient twice, and cleaned up products already saved with duplicates.

• Significantly improved AI ingredient classification efficacy

  • Simply take a picture with the built-in camera and ensure all ingredients are in frame. Then confirm and have the ingredients processed
