How to update
Download the new zip, unzip it into the same folder as your current copy, and double-click the new BetterDaysPlanner.html. Your saved data carries over automatically — the app reads the same browser storage as long as you open the new file from the same location.
Important: before updating, export a backup from Settings just in case. (We've never had an update break saved data, but it's a good habit.)
Version history
v1.4 — May 7, 2026
- Inventory page now groups multi-lot items. When you have the same item across multiple shopping trips with different expiration dates, the inventory shows one summary row per item with a lot count (e.g. Canned tuna · 3 lots) and the earliest expiration date front and center. Click any group to expand and see each lot with its own quantity, location, and expiration. Single-lot items look exactly as they did before. Sort by expiration date — or filter to "expiring soon" — and groups auto-expand so the FIFO rotation view is one click away. An Expand all button next to the filters lets you see everything at once.
- Smarter cart checkout — no more duplicate rows on same-day re-checkouts. If you check out the cart twice on the same day for the same item, the second checkout now sums into the existing inventory lot instead of creating a duplicate row. Next-day re-adds still create a separate lot so rotation order stays correct. The toast message tells you what happened: 3 added · 2 merged into existing lots.
v1.3 — May 2, 2026
- App file renamed to
BetterDaysPlanner.html. The HTML file inside the zip used to be calledindex.html— opaque when sitting in your Downloads folder weeks later. The new name tells you what the file is. No functional changes; your saved data carries over automatically as long as you unzip the new version into the same folder as your current copy.
v1.2 — April 26, 2026
- Food + recipe library expansion. 53 → 68 foods (chickpeas, kidney beans, baked beans, canned soups, coconut milk, maple syrup, hot cocoa mix, and more). 28 → 39 recipes (curries, hummus, biscuits, three-bean chili).
- Storage-basis transparency. Every food now declares whether its shelf life assumes mylar storage, can dating, sealed packaging, or indefinite. Visible on the Plan, Inventory, and Settings.
- Hygiene category expanded. Added shampoo, deodorant, toothbrushes, razors, and shaving cream. Feminine products switched from ambiguous "packs" to count.
- Per-food skip toggle with calorie redistribution. Skipping an item now redistributes its calories within the same category, so the household still hits its target.
- Non-food cart workflow. Toilet paper, batteries, and other supplies now flow through the same cart system as food. Inventory page now shows non-food items.
- Wired in the official Better Days Planner logo (mark, lockup, favicon, print headers).
v1.1 — April 25, 2026
- Rebrand from Pantry Ready to Better Days Planner. All user-facing strings, the localStorage key, and backup filenames updated. One-time migration shim auto-imports legacy data.
- Layered legal disclaimers in high-stakes areas (allergies, medications, emergency services).
- Pet supplies fixed — pet food and water now scale by total pet body weight, not human count.
- Non-food supplies merged into the Shopping List with a stockable cart pattern.
- Smarter backup nudges, recipe-to-cart helper, tier milestones, USDA data verification.
v1.0 — April 25, 2026
- Initial release. Full feature set: onboarding, household, plan, shopping list, inventory, recipes, non-food, NWS alerts (opt-in), six printable guides, dashboard, settings.
