I feel like experiences like this would need to be personalized and super customizable. Probably not something that would do well for the main core experience. However, I am imagining something like this could be accomplished using Shortcuts, perhaps?

Two weeks ago I started prototyping an iOS 26 "Liquid Glass" redesign concept for Foodnoms in almost all SwiftUI.
I've been continuously iterating on it, and it's already come a long way. Several UX wins and a few delightful touches. I think I may very well end up shipping this in the Fall 😱

I guess that is a way to achieve what I want, just have to undo the actual margins aspect back to the default. Yay SwiftUI.

Mine is getting clipped to the default radius no matter what (unless I make the radius larger than default). I’m wondering if there’s a trick to disabling the section corners or specify custom ones.

How are you getting it so the cards in the horizontally scrolled container aren't using the new larger Section corner radius?

Last week, I sat down with Craig Federighi for 30 minutes to talk about the iPad.
We covered a lot: the iPad's multitasking journey, being inspired by macOS, iPad criticisms over the years and…the essence of the iPad in 2025.
I'm proud of this one.

It was a bug at the core of the iOS app, impacting all kinds of syncing: iCloud, Foodnoms Cloud, and HealthKit.
A background cleanup task deletes old data, and in these situations it can lead to an important counter getting messed up, causing future data to not be processed.

I use SF symbols elsewhere, but they don't have many food/drink icons. This is a different icon set.

Right? They can edit the recording if needed. They are too afraid of having things live for posterity.

1. I really like the new look!
2. iOS 26 beta is rough (to be expected).
3. Excited to take the on-device foundation model APIs for a spin.
4. There are some other APIs, e.g. RecognizeDocumentsRequest, that look quite promising!
5. I have a lot of work to do.
6. I am excited.
