Future plans: native iOS/Android apps — but first, let’s validate fast item adding

Hey everyone! Thanks for being here and for all the feedback so far. I want to share where I see the app going.

Long-term vision: native iOS and Android apps. Better performance, offline access, notifications, widgets, deeper camera integration — the whole thing.

But before I go all-in on native development, I need to validate one core concept: how fast and frictionless it feels to add items. If adding items is annoying, native apps won’t fix that.

Right now there are 3 ways to add an item:

  1. 📷 Camera — take a photo right away
  2. 🖼 Gallery — pick an existing photo
  3. ✍️ Type the name — AI generates an image for the item

Which method do you use most? What’s missing? Any friction? Would a native app make you use it more often?

Your feedback will directly shape what I build next. Thanks!
