A custom food can now include water. Log your soup or shake, on its own or inside a recipe or template, and it counts toward hydration
Give your foods, recipes and templates an icon. A symbol and a color of your choice, so your lists scan at a glance — and a switch in Profile turns them off again if you'd rather keep the space
Pick your own protein, carbs and fat colors. Choose them in Profile → Appearance, and they follow you into the widget and onto your watch
Your recipes and templates carry their icons into the log. A logged recipe shows its own icon and a template group shows the template's — recolor either one and every day you already logged it follows
Icons work on any food, not just your own. Long-press anything in search, favorites, recents or your daily log — or open the food and tap Set Icon — to give it a symbol and a color that show up wherever that food does
Any color, any symbol. Icon presets are a starting point — a color wheel and a searchable catalog of 4,900 symbols sit right behind them, for foods, meal categories and supplement groups alike
Bug Fixes
Editing a meal category in light mode no longer hides the Cancel and Save buttons — they now wear the same accent color as every other screen
v1.13.0
Latest
Tare now speaks Russian, Ukrainian and Polish — every screen, every number, every reminder, and your Apple Watch too. Food search answers in the language you type, everyday foods answer even offline, and your log keeps the words you saw. Log in cups and slices, copy yesterday in a tap — and trust the smaller numbers: modest activity bonuses now show themselves, and the weight trend measures days, not weigh-ins.
Tare in Your Language
Russian, Ukrainian and Polish — the whole app, not the front page. Every screen, sheet, alert, empty state and menu, down to the units beside your macros
It opens in your iPhone's language. Install Tare on a Polish phone and it's Polish from the first screen — nothing to find, nothing to switch on
Want a different one? Profile → Language & Region. Pick a language and the app changes as you tap it — no relaunch, no waiting
Already using Tare in English on a Russian, Ukrainian or Polish phone? Nothing moves under you. Tare asks once whether you'd like to switch, and takes no for an answer
New to Tare? Choosing your language is the first screen, before anything else — so setup reads in a language you read
Each language is offered in its own name — Русский, Українська, Polski — so the list is readable whichever one you're in now
Numbers That Look Right
Decimals, dates and units follow the language, not just the words. 72,5 kg rather than 72.5, ккал rather than cal, and dates written the way they're written where you are
Counts agree with their number the way Slavic languages need them to — 1 продукт, 2 продукта, 5 продуктов, and the Ukrainian and Polish equivalents
Grams, milligrams and micrograms carry their local symbols, including µg in Polish
Everywhere Else Tare Shows Up
Your widgets, Lock Screen fasting timer and Apple Watch all speak the same language the app does — including when you've overridden it, rather than only when your phone changed
Supplement and fasting reminders arrive in your language, and change with it
Your meal categories and supplement timing groups translate with the app. Breakfast becomes Śniadanie and stays yours — including the hidden Other section, and including categories you've reordered
Anything you typed yourself — your foods, recipes, meal names, notes — is left exactly as you wrote it. Tare translates its own words, never yours
Search in Your Language, Offline Too
Type «гречка», get buckwheat. Food search now works in Russian, Ukrainian and Polish — everyday foods answer in your language, and the names people actually use find the food they mean
Results answer in the language you typed, not the language of the app. Search «Гречка» from a Russian keyboard on an English phone and the results read in Russian; type "buckwheat" and they read in English — whatever your settings say
Thousands of everyday foods now live inside the app, with their full nutrients — so eggs, oats and chicken breast answer instantly, even in airplane mode
Your favorites, recent foods and suggestions show their names in your language too — not only fresh search results
"Bone broth", "chicken soup" and other shop words now find a food instead of nothing — the reference vocabulary they were missing from predates them
Branded products found in English can show their names in your language, translated entirely on your iPhone — nothing you type is sent to a translation service. This works quietly when your iPhone already has Apple's translation models; Tare never asks you to download one
Log Faster
1 cup, 2 slices, a medium egg. Everyday foods now offer household measures, not just grams — and Tare remembers the unit you last used for each food
Those measures speak your language too. «Стакан», «ломтик», «штука» — the unit picker for everyday foods reads in Russian, Ukrainian and Polish, long prose portions included. Anything you named yourself stays in your words
Your log keeps the words you saw. Log «Гречка, варёная» from a Russian search and that is what your day says — not the database's English name behind it
An empty day offers yesterday. Open a day with nothing logged yet and one tap copies the previous day's meals
Keep assembling the same meal by hand? Tare points at Save as Template — once, and never again after you've seen it. Same for a recipe-sized list of ingredients
Checking off supplements stays fast however many you take, and however long your streak history grows
Truer Numbers
Small activity bonuses stopped hiding. A +30 cal day used to raise your calorie target while nothing on screen said so. The chip now shows it quietly, and the Goals row explains it — today's activity beside your typical day. Bigger bonuses stay green, exactly as before
The weight trend now counts days, not weigh-ins. Two weigh-ins in one day, or a sparse imported history, used to bend the trend line and the expenditure estimate built on it. The chart also says what it's doing — a smoothed average deliberately lags today's weigh-in — and no longer clips a weigh-in off the plot
The label scanner refuses impossible numbers. A per-serving column read as per-100 g used to store a 1,700-calorie chocolate bar without comment; a value no food can reach is now flagged at the door instead of saved. Non-English labels' per-100 g columns read correctly too
Bug Fixes
Renaming a supplement timing group left its reminder announcing the old name. The reminder was written when you first switched it on and nothing rewrote it — so a group you'd renamed months ago still called itself by its original name every evening. It now says what the group says
Supplement reminders kept firing for a timing group you had emptied. A group with nothing left in it now stays quiet
Deleted default timing groups and meal categories could quietly come back after a sync. Deleted now stays deleted
Switching a food's amount unit kept the number. 100 g became 100 oz, and the calories jumped with it. The amount now converts along with the unit
Saving an edit to an entry with no food behind it — an Apple Health import, or a food you'd since deleted — could corrupt the entry. It saves cleanly now
A few cached foods still carried vitamin D forty times too high from the old unit mix-up. They're now corrected against the app's built-in food data
The Other section — the one that appears when a supplement logs food into your day — kept the language it was created in after you changed languages. It now follows along with the rest
A handful of foods in the built-in database claimed negative carbs — an artifact of how their source subtracts fiber. Impossible values are now refused at the door, and affected cached foods corrected
After a sync created duplicate profiles, Body & Goals could read one while the Apple Health import updated another — so a weigh-in seemed to change nothing. There is one profile again, and every screen agrees on it
A sweep of stray English in translated screens: a fasting alert, suggestion badges, recipe units and a few portion labels that printed their stored form instead of their translation
A food opened from favorites or a suggestion could show a Russian title over a food you had stored in English. Titles now follow the same rule everywhere: the language you searched in where there was a search, yours otherwise
v1.12.0
Fix a fast that started or ended at the wrong moment, bring calories and water logged in other apps into your day through Apple Health, and see where you stand from your wrist. Plus: sixteen newly drawn app icons, template meals that no longer bury your log, and Open Food Facts search that works again — now unbothered by typos and accents.
Fasts You Can Correct
Ended your fast at the wrong time? Tap it and fix it. Adjust when it started and ended — the duration and whether it counts as completed follow along
Ended it by mistake? Resume it. A fast you ended today picks back up where it left off, timer and Lock Screen included
Forgot to start the timer? Move a running fast's start back to when you actually stopped eating
Your recent fasts, in one place. Fasting settings gains a history — tap a fast to correct it, swipe to remove one that shouldn't be there
Fasted without the timer? Log a past fast after the fact and it counts toward your streak and stats
Your finished fast stays on the Log tab after it ends — even without a fasting schedule, it no longer vanishes the moment you stop
Ending a fast under four hours now tells you it won't be recorded, instead of quietly leaving no trace
Nutrition From Apple Health
Calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber, and water saved by other apps now flow into Tare. WaterMinder works through Apple Health, and so does any other app that records those values
Synced values live in their own Apple Health section with the source app, time, and quantities — never an invented food or drink name
They count everywhere they should: daily totals, net carbs, hydration, Reports, insights, exports, and widgets
Swipe a synced row to remove it from Tare while leaving Apple Health unchanged. It stays removed after refresh, relaunch, and iCloud sync
Tare never writes imported values back to Health, preventing feedback loops and duplicate totals
Tare on Apple Watch
A read-only Today dashboard shows calories eaten, remaining or over, macro progress, and the last phone sync
Add Tare's rectangular widget to Smart Stack or use the circular calorie ring in a compatible complication slot
Calories run from orange to green as you approach your goal and red when you pass it, the same way they do on your phone
The Watch keeps the latest snapshot offline and starts a new day at zero against your last known goals
Sixteen New App Icons
Green Apple, Plate, Avocado, Carrot, Leaf, Kitchen Scale, Fork & Knife and Nutrition Ring — each one in a dark version and a light one. Every mark is newly drawn, at a size and weight that match across the set rather than each one going its own way
The dark icons sit on a lit background instead of a flat one, and the light icons are warm paper — the one thing on a dark home screen that isn't dark
Whichever icon you already had stays selected
Pick yours on iPhone or iPad from Profile → App Icon, alongside Default, Ocean and Violet
Other Improvements
A meal logged from a template now starts collapsed, with its protein, carbs and fat on the header — two of them used to take a dozen rows and bury the rest of your day
The micronutrient sheet has a Done button, like every other sheet on the Log tab
Expanding the calorie card no longer scrambles it on the way open, and swiping between days now enters from the side it left
Bug Fixes
Searching Open Food Facts works again, and it now understands typos and accents. The search it used has been refusing requests for some time, and Tare only ever consulted it when USDA came back completely empty — which almost never happened, because USDA answers most things with something. Open Food Facts is now searched alongside USDA on every query, with its results below USDA's
Setting a dietary preference did nothing. The preference saved, the screen showed it, and no suggestion was ever filtered — a vegan asking how to close an iron gap was told to eat beef liver. It now applies
Answering your weekly check-in on two devices before they synced left two check-ins for the same day, which counted that day twice in your averages. They now merge, keeping the most recent answer to each question
Check-in metrics could appear twice in settings, and twice in the check-in sheet
Erasing all data left your widgets, complication and Watch still showing the erased goals and intake
v1.11.0
Tare can tell muscle from fat, so a recomposition stops reading as standing still. Short on protein or fiber? Tap it and Tare tells you what to eat. Supplements can bring their own water with them. Plus: weigh-ins from Apple Health arrive on their own, vitamin D reads correctly, the B vitamins on scanned products stop coming up blank, and duplicate categories merge back into one.
Telling Muscle From Fat
Losing fat while gaining muscle used to read as standing still. With the scale flat, there was nothing to go on — every kilo was priced as fat, so the weeks your training was working looked like the weeks nothing happened. Tare now follows fat and lean mass separately and prices them apart
Add your body fat when you log a weigh-in, or let it arrive on its own — a scale that reports body fat through Apple Health fills it in for you, including up to six months you've already recorded
Body fat now travels both ways. A percentage you type into a weigh-in reaches Apple Health like your weight does, so it counts wherever else you keep it — and whichever app you last changed it in is the one that wins
Your weight chart now carries body fat alongside it. The two share one chart, so whether the weight you lost was fat or muscle reads at a glance rather than needing two screens and some arithmetic
Reports gains a Body Composition section — fat mass, lean mass and body fat percentage over one, three or six months, with a chart of how far fat and lean have each moved since the start of the range. Fat falling while lean holds its ground is the shape you're after, and you can see it happening
Your weekly check-in and the expenditure breakdown both say when your estimate is reading composition, so you can see why it moved
Once Tare knows your lean mass, your baseline burn is worked out from it rather than from height and weight — noticeably closer for anyone leaner or more muscular than average
A scale having a bad week can't run away with your targets. Body fat readings drift with hydration, so a reading claiming more muscle than a body can build gets discounted rather than trusted — and Reports tells you it happened and what it read
It waits until it has something worth trusting: four weigh-ins carrying body fat, spanning at least two weeks. Until then — and for everyone not tracking body fat at all — nothing about your targets changes
Protein and Fiber Suggestions
Tap protein on your daily log and Tare answers "what should I eat to close this?" — the same suggestions you already get for iron or calcium, now for the macro you're actually chasing
Fiber works the same way. Expand your daily log's nutrient panel and tap Fiber for beans, oats, berries and whatever else in your own food list closes the gap
Your own recipes, saved meals and custom foods come first, ranked by how much of the gap each one closes. A meal you eat every week beats a food you've never logged
The gap is measured against your target for that day — including any calories your Watch earned you, and the target you had set on a past day you're looking back at
Fiber now shows a target even if you've never set one — the standard recommendation for your sex, the same figure Goals already offered you. It used to sit there with nothing to measure against
Already on target? The same tap shows what got you there, ranked by how much each food contributed
Carbs, fat and added sugar stay as they are. They're limits to stay under, so there's nothing to close
Supplements That Bring Their Own Water
Tell Tare how much water you take a supplement with, and ticking it off logs both. Psyllium in 10 oz, creatine, electrolyte powders, effervescent tablets — the water reaches your day's total, glasses count and progress bar without a second tap
Enter the amount in your own units. Unticking the supplement takes the water back out again
The water card's undo button leaves it alone — that water belongs to the supplement, not to your quick-add taps
It reaches Apple Health dated to the day the supplement was taken, so filling in a day you missed lands on that day rather than today
Deleting a supplement clears the water it logged on past days too
Mark all as taken and Clear all now handle water and nutrition exactly the way ticking a single row does — previously the day-level buttons recorded neither
Vitamin D
Vitamin D from USDA foods was reading about 40× too high. A salmon fillet showed hundreds of micrograms against a 20mcg target, which is why vitamin D so often looked met when it wasn't. Every food now reads in micrograms, so USDA and Open Food Facts agree with each other and with the label
Your past days are corrected too. Vitamin D in your history will read lower from now on — that lower number is the accurate one. Meals logged from a recipe keep their original figure, so a recipe logged before this update and again after can differ
A few scanned vitamin D supplements — gummies and chewables — may now show no vitamin D rather than an impossible one. Adding one as your own food records it exactly as you enter it
Bug Fixes
Weigh-ins from Apple Health now arrive on their own. They only ever came in at the moment you switched the setting on, so a reading from your scale the next morning never reached Tare — the day stayed blank, your trend flattened, and nothing changed until you went back to Settings and turned the switch off and on again. Tare now picks up new readings as you use it
Readings your scale sends late — after a few days off Wi-Fi, say — are picked up too, rather than being missed for arriving after the fact
Your weight in Profile now follows your latest weigh-in whatever recorded it. An imported reading used to leave it showing the old number. Your targets don't move — those still change at your weekly check-in
Correcting your weight twice in one day no longer leaves two entries in Apple Health
Opening a weigh-in and saving it unchanged no longer stops that day taking readings from Health
Whatever you did last wins, in either app. Type a weight in Tare and it goes to Health; change it in Health and Tare picks that up instead. Correct a reading you disagree with and your correction stands — the newer of the two is the one you keep, rather than one app always outranking the other
Weigh-ins you delete stay deleted. Removing one used to leave it in Apple Health, so it came straight back the next time Tare looked. Deleting in Tare now removes what Tare put there — though a reading written by your scale still lives in Health, and removing it there is what clears it for good
Weigh-ins reach Apple Health at the time you recorded them, rather than all landing at midnight
New readings turn up when you come back to Tare, not only when you reopen the app from scratch
Reports is reordered around the questions you actually open it with — what you ate, then what happened to you, then the detail. Micronutrients move down beside the daily breakdown, and your expenditure estimate now sits just under the weight trend it's worked out from, instead of above it
The End Fast button on the Live Activity now ends your fast — from the Lock Screen or the expanded Dynamic Island, even with Tare force-quit. The activity dismisses and the session is saved as ended
"Foods to Aim For" no longer lists the same food several times: the food cache builds up an entry each time a database relabels a product, and those now collapse into one — including entries filed under a different brand name or a slightly different spelling
Suggestions no longer promote a food whose label states an impossible amount, like a pudding cup claiming five days' vitamin D
Lab-measured foods you haven't logged yet are badged verified in nutrient suggestions, matching how search already marks them
Your custom foods, favorites, and anything you've logged are never hidden from suggestions by that clean-up
Scanning a barcode you've corrected now always returns your version, rather than depending on which entry the database happened to return first
Logging a food from a nutrient sheet updates your day straight away — the bar you just acted on used to sit unchanged until you left the screen
Acting on a suggestion while looking at an earlier day now logs the food to that day, not to today
Thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and folate came up blank on every scanned product. Tare was asking for them under names Open Food Facts doesn't use, so all four showed a dash, counted for nothing, and kept scanned foods out of the suggestions for those four gaps. They read correctly now, and a one-time pass fills them in for products you've already scanned — including inside your recipes and saved meals
Two sets of Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Snack could appear on a new device when your own categories arrived a moment after Tare had set up the defaults. Duplicates now merge back into one, keeping your icon, color and time range, and your logged meals and saved meals move across with it
Duplicate supplement groups — a second Morning, Night and so on — merge the same way. Your supplements move to the group that stays, and a reminder set on the other one moves with them
Water and meals you remove in Tare are now always removed from Apple Health. Deleting something moments after logging it could leave the entry behind in Health, where Tare could no longer see it to remove it. The water card's undo button never removed anything from Health at all
Editing a logged meal no longer risks dropping it from Apple Health entirely
The impossible-label screen now covers your recipes and saved meals too, not just foods — a misprint copied into a recipe no longer ranks first for that nutrient
v1.10.0
Your Apple Watch starts paying you back — big days earn extra calories, and your first targets come from your real activity history.
Activity Bonus
Out-move your typical day and Tare adds the extra calories to today's target — a hike, a long ride, or a hard session counts the moment it happens
Quiet days stay quiet: your target never drops on a rest day, and nothing changes on an ordinary one
Tap the new Watch chip on your daily log to see the math — today's activity, your typical day, and the calories you earned
Bonus calories flow into your carb and fat targets too, with protein held steady
Turn it on in Profile → Smart Features — works alongside Adaptive TDEE
A Smarter Starting Point
New to Tare with a Watch on your wrist? Your last 30 days of activity calibrate your starting expenditure, so your first targets fit you before Adaptive TDEE finishes learning
v1.9.0
Search that leads with the food you asked for, and a clear signal of where each number came from.
Better Food Search
Search results now lead with the food you actually asked for, instead of every dish that merely lists it as an ingredient
See where a number came from: foods analyzed in a lab are marked Verified, and manufacturer label data is labeled as such
Less Noise in Your Results
One entry per food instead of five near-identical versions of the same product
Branded products tuck behind a "Show more" row, so lab-verified foods aren't buried beneath them
A quiet flag when a food's calories don't add up from its protein, carbs, and fat — usually a mistake in the source data
Bug Fixes
Setting up Tare on a second device now brings everything across cleanly — no repeated setup, no duplicate meal categories, your targets matching everywhere, and your day filling in as soon as syncing finishes
Changing your targets no longer rewrites the past — earlier days are still measured against the goal you actually had then, on the daily log and in your reports
Tapping a vitamin or mineral to see its top contributors now works everywhere, including straight from your daily log and for nutrients you've already hit
v1.8.0
Fractions wherever you type an amount, recipes logged by the serving, and a way to see which foods drove each vitamin and mineral.
Fractions & Serving Amounts
Enter serving amounts as fractions — type 1/3 or 1½ the way nutrition labels print them, no decimal math
Mixed numbers work too — type 1 2/3 with a space, exactly as you'd say it
Recipe Portions
Log a recipe by the serving or as a fraction of the whole batch, with the portion math done for you
Vitamins & Minerals
Tap any vitamin or mineral to see which foods contributed the most — great for spotting what pushed you over a limit
Bug Fixes
Your daily summary now reads "Over" when you pass your calorie goal, instead of a confusing "Remaining"
Light mode now renders correctly — cards show behind each tile, and vitamin and mineral names that were invisible on a white background are back
v1.7.0
Water syncs from Apple Health, and the water in your soups and recipes now counts toward your daily hydration.
Water from Apple Health
Water you log in the Health app, a smart bottle, or any other app now flows into your daily total in Tare — so your hydration finally matches what you actually drank
Your own entries are never double-counted — Tare recognizes the water it wrote to Health and skips it on the way back in
Turn it on with the Apple Health toggle in Integrations; recent water is pulled in whenever you open the day
Water in Recipes & Meals
Add water as an ingredient to any recipe or meal template — a bowl of soup can count its water toward your hydration in one step, with no separate entry
Logging that recipe or template adds the water straight to your daily total; deleting the meal removes it again
Enter and see water amounts in your own units — mL or fl oz
Water on the Daily Log
Meal templates show the water they contributed right on the daily log, so a higher total always makes sense
Edit or remove logged water in a tap or a swipe — change how much a meal counts, or drop its water while keeping the food
The water card's undo only removes water you added by hand — it never touches water from a meal or from Apple Health
Not tracking water in Tare? Hide the water card entirely from Profile → Smart Features
Bug Fixes
Editing a saved meal template no longer drops its other items when you make a change
Deleting a logged recipe or meal now also removes the water it added to your hydration total
Jumping to Today — or tapping any day — always refreshes the log with that day's entries
v1.6.0
Lock Screen and Dynamic Island timer for fasts, and easier custom food entry from labels.
Live Activity & Dynamic Island
Active fasts now appear on the Lock Screen with a live ticking countdown, body-stage label, and progress bar — no need to open the app to check time remaining
Dynamic Island support on iPhone 14 Pro and newer — stage icon and timer in the compact pill, full progress bar plus an End Fast button when expanded
One-tap "End Fast" button on the Live Activity finishes your fast without opening the app
"Overtime" mode kicks in at the target — the Lock Screen timer stays visible and counts up in green so you can track an extended fast
The auto-start notification now has a "Start Fast" action — tap it (even hours later) and your fast starts at the originally scheduled time, not when you tapped
Older iPhones without Dynamic Island fall back to the Lock Screen presentation automatically — every fasting user gets the at-a-glance timer
Custom Food Entry
Enter nutrition directly from the label — new "Per serving" / "Per 100g" toggle in custom food creation lets you type the values exactly as they appear, no mental math required
Defaults to per-serving for new foods (matches how labels read), per-100g when editing (matches what's stored)
Toggling between modes converts the displayed values automatically so the underlying nutrition stays correct
Bug Fixes
Auto-start fasting notifications now reschedule whenever you change your fasting start hour, grace period, scheduled days, or protocol — no more stale reminders firing at the old time
Tapping the auto-start notification on a cold launch now reliably backdates your fast to the scheduled time instead of landing on the "Window Closed" screen
v1.5.0
Macro customization, added sugar tracking, and iCloud restore on reinstall.
Macro Customization
Protein intake presets — Lower (1.6 g/kg), Standard (1.8 g/kg), Higher (2.2 g/kg) — with full custom values for any ratio in between
Lockable macro split — choose Balanced (30% fat), Low Carb (45% fat), or Keto (~8% carbs); the unlocked macro fills the remainder
Custom macro values are honored across onboarding, Goals, and weekly check-ins — no more silent reverts to a hardcoded formula
Goals row subtitles surface the active selection — "Higher · ≈ 1.0 g/lb" or "Custom · 21% carbs" — so the chip's value sits next to the gram input you're editing
Locked vs. derived macros labeled clearly in the Goals form
Upgrading preserves your current macro split — the weekly check-in won't try to revert it to defaults
Added Sugar Tracking
Track added sugar as a distinct nutrient — daily limit defaults to AHA recommendations (25g for women, 36g for men), editable in Goals
Daily calorie card adds Fiber and Added Sugar progress bars beside the macro row
Per-food rows in the Daily Log show an Added Sugar chip when the food contributes; meal category headers show meal-level totals
Custom food creation gains dedicated inputs for Total Sugar, Added Sugar, and Fiber, presented as sub-rows under Carbs
Nutrition label scanner extracts Total Sugars and Added Sugars from FDA labels (post-2020 "Includes Xg Added Sugars" format)
Pulled automatically from food databases — whole foods correctly show 0g, and obvious data errors are filtered out. Foods in your library are enriched on first launch; past log entries keep the values they had when you logged them
Recipe and template builders show full nutrition breakdown — Total Sugar, Added Sugar, Fiber — per total, per 100g, and per serving
7-day Goal Progress in Reports now includes Total Sugar, Added Sugar, and Fiber alongside macros
Visual hierarchy: sugar and fiber render as indented sub-rows under Carbs everywhere they appear, matching FDA nutrition label conventions
iCloud Restore on Reinstall
Returning users on a new device skip onboarding entirely — your data flows in via iCloud sync
"Syncing from iCloud…" overlay shown while the first sync is in flight, so the app never looks empty
If sync hasn't completed after 30 seconds, a "Start fresh" escape hatch appears — for users whose iCloud data was purged via Settings → Manage Storage
If iCloud data shows up while onboarding is open, a confirmation prompt asks whether to restore it or use what you just entered — the prompt summarises what's in iCloud (profile, goals, food logs, weight entries)
Data Management
Reset All Data — Profile → Danger Zone with typed-RESET confirmation, wipes every record on every device signed into the same iCloud account
Remove a logged weight entry directly from the weight sheet — clear the field and the Save button becomes a destructive Remove action
Adaptive TDEE Accuracy
Confidence improves only on days you actually log food and weigh in — empty days no longer count toward the 28-day calibration target
One-weigh-in users no longer hit High confidence after 28 idle calendar days
Auto weekly check-in won't fire immediately after onboarding — requires Smart Features enabled and at least 14 qualifying days
Onboarding and check-in now share one macro/calorie formula — no more phantom +1–3 cal deltas in the suggestion screen
Bug Fixes
Fasting no longer backdates an auto-start when you open the app past the grace window — shows "Window Closed" with the next scheduled day instead
Macro values use rounding instead of truncation, so accepting a 132.7g protein suggestion shows "133" everywhere consistently
Toggling metric / imperial in Body Goals no longer drifts your weight, calories, or macros — and saving after just toggling no longer fires the "TDEE inputs changed" suggestion
Polish: meal-category deletion no longer crashes from the edit sheet, and the Goals form refreshes immediately after accepting weekly targets
v1.4.0
Vitamin and mineral tracking with personalized food suggestions.
Micronutrient Tracking
Track 22 vitamins & minerals — Vitamin A through Zinc, sodium included, plus cholesterol and fat breakdown
Micronutrient data automatically extracted from USDA and Open Food Facts APIs
Daily summary with pinned nutrients (Iron, Calcium, Vitamin D, Vitamin C) in the calorie card
"View all nutrients" sheet with full breakdown grouped by Vitamins, Minerals, and Fat Breakdown
Customizable targets per nutrient — defaults to FDA Daily Values, tap any to override
Micronutrient preview available when logging foods, editing entries, viewing recipes, and logging templates
Custom foods and supplements now support micronutrient input via a dedicated sheet
Nutrition label scanner extracts Vitamin D, Calcium, Iron, and Potassium from labels
Foods already in your library are updated with vitamin and mineral data automatically
Micronutrient columns added to CSV data export
Nutrient Suggestions
Tap any below-target nutrient in the micronutrient view to see personalized food suggestions
Suggestions ranked by what you actually eat — your recipes and frequent foods first, generic USDA foods last
Suggestions favor foods that close the gap fastest and that you eat often
Each suggestion shows serving size, nutrient contribution, and percentage of gap it closes
Reason badges show why each food was suggested — "recipe", "12× logged", "custom", or "new"
Tap any suggestion to open the logging flow — works for foods, recipes, and templates
Evidence-based absorption tips shown per nutrient with links to the corresponding NIH fact sheet
Tips on how to absorb each nutrient better, sourced from NIH consumer fact sheets
Dietary filtering — set Vegetarian, Vegan, or Pescatarian in Profile to automatically exclude incompatible foods
Realistic serving sizes — uses household measures from USDA when available, with caloric density fallback for spices and condiments
Gentle professional note shown when a nutrient has been severely below target — never alarmist
Nutrients that should never be "suggested more" (sodium, cholesterol, saturated fat) are excluded from suggestions
Health disclaimer on every suggestion sheet — for informational purposes only, not medical advice
Reports
Micronutrient section in Reports — see daily average intake vs target for all vitamins and minerals across any time range
Nutrients sorted by gap severity — worst gaps shown first for quick identification
On the 7-day view, tap any below-target nutrient to open personalized food suggestions
Longer ranges (14 days to 6 months) show micronutrient averages as a read-only trend — helpful for spotting patterns over time
Legal
New Terms of Use page at usetare.app/terms with health disclaimer, data accuracy, and limitation of liability

Tap or swipe right on any ingredient to edit it with the full nutrition preview, replacing the old grams-only prompt
Per-100g and per-serving totals shown alongside per-item nutrition
Food Search
Loading spinner appears on food rows while portion data is fetched
Larger tap target on food rows — full row width, fewer mis-taps
Bug Fixes
Barcode scanner no longer dismisses the recipe builder after a successful scan
v1.3.2
Improved Search Results
Generic foods (e.g. "Bananas, raw") now appear above branded variants in search results
Fixed an issue where some basic foods like raw chicken breast didn't show up in search results
Search results now show calories and full macros (protein, carbs, fat) inline for faster comparison
Food names can now wrap to two lines instead of truncating — no more guessing what "Chicken breast, boneless, skinles..." means
Custom foods appear at the top of search results, above USDA entries
Barcode Scanning
Barcode lookup now falls back to USDA when Open Food Facts doesn't have the product — better coverage for US brands
Faster barcode lookups
Unknown barcodes are cached for 24 hours to avoid repeated failed lookups
Added Open Food Facts text search fallback when USDA returns no results — improves coverage for international products
Bug Fixes
Fixed minimum search query length to 3 characters to avoid overly broad results

Daily weight fluctuations are smoothed into a reliable trend line using an Exponential Moving Average
Weekly Check-In prompts you to review and accept updated calorie and macro targets
"Your Week at a Glance" summary shows food logging consistency, fasting stats, energy/mood averages, and water intake
Expenditure Detail view with three charts: TDEE over time, weight trend (EMA vs raw), and intake vs expenditure

Intermittent Fasting
Built-in fasting timer with 6 preset protocols: 12:12, 14:10, 16:8, 18:6, 20:4, and OMAD
Manual mode: choose a target duration (12–24h or open-ended) when starting a fast
Scheduled mode: select fasting days (Mon–Sun) — fasts auto-start when your eating window closes, zero taps required on routine days
If you eat shortly before your scheduled fast time, the fast still starts on schedule rather than backdating
Armed state shows countdown ("Auto-starts at 9:15 PM") with "Start Early" to begin before the eating window closes
Retroactive auto-start: if you open the app after the eating window closed, the fast starts from the correct time
Rest day and skipped day states with "Start Anyway" option and next fast date/time display
Body status stages: Fed State → Early Fasting → Fat Burning → Ketosis → Deep Ketosis → Autophagy
Full-screen timer view with circular progress ring, body stage detail timeline, and elapsed/remaining time

Water and supplement check-offs do not trigger the fast-breaking prompt
Notifications: "Fast Auto-Started" when eating window closes, "Fasting goal reached" when target hit, eating window opening reminder

Configure in Profile → Fasting
Daily Check-In
Quick daily wellness tracker — rate your energy (battery icons) and mood (weather icons) on a 1–5 scale

Compact banner on the Daily Log — "How are you feeling?" before check-in, "Checked in" summary after
Retroactive check-in for any day in the past 7 days
Data feeds into Weekly Check-In summary, Reports well-being trends, and correlation insights
Enable in Profile → Daily Check-In

After 14+ days of check-in data, Tare analyzes patterns between nutrition and wellbeing metrics

Tap any insight to see a scatter plot with the underlying data points
Only meaningful patterns are shown — random noise is filtered out
Enhanced Reports
Dashboard card with weekly summary at the top of Reports
Adaptive TDEE section: TDEE trend chart with weekly check-in data points
Fasting section: duration bar chart, completion stats, and streak counter
Well-Being section: energy and mood trend lines over time
All new sections appear conditionally — hidden when a feature is disabled, placeholder when enabled but insufficient data
Weight trend chart now uses EMA-smoothed data with raw weight points overlaid
