Vegsnap v0.2.13

Vegsnap now makes better use of front-package photos: AI identification, public product databases and web research work together to recover matching ingredient lists. Results keep the full composition and show the sources used, including community database records.

What's changed

• Improve front-package scans using the observed packaging language, product variant and size. Match database records in the package language even when the app uses another language. (#24)
• Query the existing Browse databases after AI identifies a product, keeping database and AI evidence complementary. Preserve unknown ingredients and disagreements between sources. (#24)
• Recover precisely matched Swedish retailer ingredient lists without needing a second label photo, including on the hosted Vegsnap AI service. Keep fetched compositions when an AI follow-up fails or omits them. (#24)
• Keep source links visible and prevent retailer composition pages from becoming unsupported manufacturer declarations, contact details or company claims. Reject evidence for a different product. (#24)
• Recover the extension's ChatGPT connection after granting native messaging permission, and let new Chrome Web Store submissions replace an older pending review.
• Refresh the website, feedback links and Google Play testing materials.

Vegsnap v0.2.12

Vegsnap AI now offers a limited free allowance without a ChatGPT subscription or personal API key. Android also improves saved ChatGPT account management and adds private content reporting, while releases now include an Android App Bundle for Google Play.

What's changed

• Add Vegsnap AI on Android and in the browser extension. Connect through browser verification, then use the limited daily free allowance for product checks. Selected input is sent through the Vegsnap service on Cloudflare to OpenAI; temporary sessions and usage counters enforce the allowance. (#22)
• Improve ChatGPT sign-in, reconnecting and saved account management. Preserve the current session while changing accounts, show verified email labels, support confirmed removal of saved accounts, and cancel queued ChatGPT work before switching. Connected AI is used automatically when local evidence cannot answer; Offline mode remains the network gate. (#22)
• Let Android users report AI output and community replies inside the app, review and redact report text, and block or restore individual replies locally. Add a private moderation queue and contribution rules with required acceptance.
• Correct Android's package ID to app.vegsnap, expand Android and Vegsnap AI privacy disclosures, and add English/German Play listing materials with refreshed store graphics.
• Publish a signed vegsnap.aab alongside the signed Android APK so the same release can be prepared for Google Play. The Google Play closed-test release has been submitted. Installation remains unavailable until Google completes its checks and approves the release.

Vegsnap v0.2.11

Android now supports switching ChatGPT accounts and reconnecting saved accounts. The browser extension shows clearer startup feedback, and Vegsnap is now approved for the Chrome Web Store.

What's changed

• Switch ChatGPT accounts on Android using a separate registration for each account, and reconnect saved accounts without repeating registration. Clarify that ChatGPT AI checks require an eligible Plus or Pro plan; database checks and a separate API connection remain available. (#21)
• Show “Loading Vegsnap…” when extension startup takes longer than half a second, avoiding a brief product-checking message when the popup opens. Keep database and AI progress messages tied to active checks. (#20)
• Improve browser download visibility with a dedicated row and links from the website hero. Correct companion OS detection when a browser overrides its user agent.
• Clarify ChatGPT plan requirements in the README and both website languages. Add browser store availability information alongside extension downloads.

Vegsnap v0.2.10

Ingredient results now avoid duplicate unknown entries for ingredients already assessed. Releases also continue successfully while an older Chrome update awaits review.

What's changed

• Remove duplicate database ingredients marked as unknown when the same ingredient already has an established classification. Apply the fix to saved Android and extension results without another AI request, while preserving unresolved ingredients, ambiguous origins and conflicting evidence. Keep origin questions aligned with the remaining unresolved ingredients. (#19)
• Skip Chrome submission when an older version is still under review, preserving that review and allowing the release to succeed. Record the skipped version and retry instructions in the workflow summary; submit the latest release manually once the review finishes.

Vegsnap v0.2.9

Android now lets you read reviewed manufacturer replies and share responses inside the app. The browser extension keeps local checks available when online data sharing is declined, and stable releases now submit updates to Firefox and Chrome stores automatically.

What's changed

• Read approved community replies for the matching product and country inside Android, refresh them, and share redacted manufacturer responses through the in-app submission flow. (#17)
• Keep offline and conclusive local extension checks available without online data consent. Ask for sharing consent and site permissions only when a check needs them. (#16)
• Add automatic submission to AMO and the Chrome Web Store, with matching Firefox source archives and validated release packages. Store approval may still be pending after submission. (#18)

Vegsnap v0.2.6

Manufacturer questions are now available in English, German and Swedish. This release also adds sharing and lookup of reviewed manufacturer replies through the optional community service.

What's changed

• Offer manufacturer question drafts for uncertain results, including saved results without contact details. Switch the draft language without changing the app language, then copy the question or open an email draft. (#14)
• Share redacted manufacturer replies for moderation and find approved replies for the matching product and country. Community replies stay separate from the product verdict and local history. (#15)
• Prevent screenshot captures from writing to GitHub Actions caches.
