Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about how to log your food, how fasting works, what the different plans mean, and how to manage your account.
How can I log my food?
- Log screen (menu item "Log"): Use the Log tab in the app to quickly add meals with search, presets, or manual entries.
- Photo capture (scan): Open the scanner, point your camera at the plate, and let the system suggest foods and portions.
- Voice memo \t auto parsing (premium rollout): Speak your meal (for example, "idly with ghee and chutney for breakfast") and the app will turn it into a structured log as we roll out voice support.
How does fasting support work? How do I start a fast?
- Start a fast from the Fasting card or Start Fast button on the dashboard.
- Choose from supported fast types (for example 16:8, OMAD, Navratri, Ekadashi, Karva Chauth and more as we add them) that are modelled in the database.
- For the latest traditions and vrats, see the fasting docs inside the app under Docs Fasting.
How do I set up notifications for fasting?
- Use Fasting Settings in the app to control start / end fast reminders, water intake reminders and break-fast or half-way reminders.
- For religious fasts, schedules are being aligned with Indian calendars so notifications respect local sunrise/sunset and vrat rules where possible.
