You know when you forget a doctor's appointment? Well, with an app, that doesn't happen. Because it's with you every moment. You go to the supermarket and it helps you choose better. You go for a walk and you can write down how you felt afterward.

2. Smart tracking

You no longer need to memorize or manually write down what you ate, how far you walked, or if you felt dizzy. Everything is saved, with the time, date, and even emojis if you like.

3. It helps you make better decisions
