No Treat Today 2027.1
🦧 Ape care
- Update Fortnight returns on 30 September 2026: attract an ape that day and it arrives cast in Bronze ✨
✨ New
- Scan your meals 📷 A camera moon orbits in on Today: photograph your plate or import photos, and Apple Intelligence suggests what it sees. Nothing is logged until you confirm with the usual YES/NO tap
- Recognized foods arrive as chips you can remove, with their sugar attached to your portions — then the plate’s sugar cubes rain down the screen 🧊
- Say what the camera can’t see: tap the microphone and describe your plate out loud. Your words appear live under the viewfinder and travel with the photo, so the estimate knows about the extra frosting
- Guess before Crush does, and wager a moon on how many cubes were on the plate
- Memories 📸 A new tab keeps one card per day for the plates you photographed. Filter them, give one a heart, five stars or a bookmark, and bring a bookmarked memory into any meal
- Your own red line 🚩 Cubes past your six-cube allowance turn amber, and only cubes past a ceiling you set turn red. Pour the cubes into the jar in Settings › Sugar jar to see how big a day you are allowing: it starts at twelve cubes, just under the 50 g the WHO recommends nobody pass
- Your year on one page 🗓️ History turns a calendar year into a poster — one dot per day, one mini-calendar per month — ready to share
- Where the numbers come from 📚 Every table that prices your food now says which study it came from, with a link, and admits when a figure is our own estimate. There is a new Sources page, and every scan ends with “How scanning works”
⚡ Improvement
- The app turns sideways 🔄 Today, History, the year poster and the scan each get a layout built for landscape instead of a squeezed portrait one — on iPhone as well as iPad
- Settings moved to Today’s top-right corner: one tab less, and more room for what you came for
- Answer YES or NO while a scan is still being read: the analysis finishes on its own and keeps your answer
- Second opinion: send the same photo back under the lens, then keep whichever reading matches what you ate
- Photos you keep are saved to your photo library like any other shot — switch it off in Settings › Meal
♿️ Accessibility
- VoiceOver names the colour of each card in the scan deck instead of spelling out a key
- The sugar tube, the plate and the scan’s verdict all read out loud
💬 Texts
- The app says sugar, not treats. The daily question is now “Too much sugar today?”, a good day reads “No sugar today!” and the moon means zero sugar. Someone who excludes nothing is a Sweet tooth
- Your days, your apes and your history haven’t moved — only the words did
🧱 Foundations
- Scanning runs on Apple Intelligence with Private Cloud Compute: your photos are never stored, never used to train anything, and Apple cannot read them. It needs iOS 27, a device with Apple Intelligence and a connection — and it has a daily allowance, which iCloud+ can raise
- Suggesting a name for an ape uses the on-device model, so it works offline
- Dictation uses the on-device speech recognizer: what you say about your plate stays on your iPhone
- Onscreen context for Apple Intelligence and Siri: open a day, meal, food, or tag, then ask Siri what you’re looking at
