How it works

What a pattern can show
-
A delayed reaction
A meal from two days ago may line up with bloating today. A short night of sleep may line up with a harder morning.
-
More than one factor
Sometimes it is the food together with stress or poor sleep, not the food alone.
-
A record of what you tried
Change one thing, keep logging, and see whether symptoms change.
-
Something to show your doctor
The PDF is a record of what you logged, not a diagnosis.

Where your diary lives
Food, symptoms, sleep, and exercise are stored in the app on your iPhone. You can lock the app with Face ID or Touch ID. The app does not sync the diary through iCloud.
If you sign in, a copy is sent over HTTPS so you can restore it. That copy is not end-to-end encrypted, because the app has to read it to sync. You can export or delete your data from the app.
