Changelog

v1.11.1 (September 4, 2026)

• Log a meal from a photo. Take a picture of your plate and your coach names each food, estimates the portions, and lines them up for you to check. Adjust an amount, swap a food for a different catalog match, untick anything it got wrong, then log — the entries land as real servings like “2 × 1 steak”, and the photo is attached to the meal. On iPhone and Android nothing extra is needed; on Mac, Windows and Linux the photo screen offers a one-time vision download of about 1 GB. The photo is read entirely on your device.
• Photo matches favour the food as eaten. A plate of broccoli, carrots and chicken breast now lines up with cooked catalog entries rather than raw ones, plain foods win over branded products and restaurant menu items, and package listings never come up.
• The camera button sits beside search in the food logging drawer on every platform where Advanced AI Coaching is on. On phones you can take a photo or pick one from your library; on desktop you choose a file.
• On Android, phones whose chip refuses the model no longer wait eight seconds for that refusal every time the coach starts.
• Also fixed: switching the built-in model on and then off no longer makes the app ask to download a model it already has; the download dialog’s small print is readable in dark mode; a coach that failed a turn while your profile was changing reports the failure instead of stalling the daily sync.

v1.11.0 (September 3, 2026)

• Your coach now answers what you actually said. Tell it you just got back from a walk and it acknowledges the walk instead of prescribing another one; ask for meal ideas and it works from today’s targets and what you have logged, even before your first entry of the day. Greetings, repeated openers, and duplicate status updates are gone from the chat.
• Coach suggestions arrive as cards you decide on. When you ask for cardio, a calorie adjustment, or a lighter training week, the coach runs the same safety checks as before and puts the offer under its reply with Apply and Not now. Nothing changes in your plan until you tap Apply.
• The coach remembers what matters. Durable facts you mention — a dog that needs a morning walk, a vegetarian kitchen, a bad knee — are kept between conversations, and anything the coach promises to revisit shows up as a follow-up on the right day. Passing details stay out of its memory.
• Long replies show their work. While the coach is thinking you see a thinking note instead of a blank bubble, replies render headings and lists as they stream, and a Stop button ends a reply where it is. The composer supports multiple lines, and the Coaching Hub’s coach card opens the chat directly.
• On desktop, machines with 16 GB or more get a longer conversation window and, on a fresh install, the larger Gemma 4 model. The coach can now also read your blood glucose, blood pressure, and ketone logs when you ask about them.
• For the curious: a new experimental switch under Advanced AI Coaching tries the phone’s own built-in model (Apple Intelligence on iOS 26 and macOS 26, Gemini Nano on eligible Pixels) instead of the downloaded one. It is off by default and falls back to the downloaded model wherever it is not available.
• Also fixed: the 7-Day Weight Average header no longer runs off the edge on small screens; Advanced AI setup is one tap away from anywhere that says it is required, the first-run prompt no longer calls itself an update, and phones with about 4 GB of memory get a heads-up before the download; the built-in model toggle no longer freezes the app while it checks availability.

v1.10.3 (September 1, 2026)

• New on the Today screen: a Notes card. Jot down anything worth remembering about the day — a rough night, a big lunch out, a run that felt great — and it stays with that day’s records. Your coach reads the past week of notes alongside your numbers, so “why was Tuesday off?” gets a real answer. Reorder or hide it like any other card.
• The Coaching Hub now introduces on-device AI coaching where its value shows: a one-time card under your insights explains what the deeper coach adds and takes you straight to the setting. Dismiss it once and it stays gone.
• One accent color and one meaning per status color across the whole app: green for on track, amber for worth a look, red for needs action — the same tiers in Trends, Weekly Review, recovery, and workouts. Dark mode cards get a subtle outline so they read cleanly.
• Consistency touches: the feature is called Weekly Review everywhere, food search results show the same kcal • P • C • F line as the logging drawer, and barcode and label scanning appear only on devices with a camera.
• Also fixed: with fasting enabled, the coach could lose its fasting-status tool mid-conversation; it now always has it.

v1.10.2 (August 27, 2026)

• Heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood oxygen now show up everywhere they belong: daily rows in the biometrics card, their own charts in Trends, and manual entry with sync override — just like blood pressure and glucose.
• Your recovery score now reads overnight respiratory rate and daily heart rate against your personal 7-day baseline, so an elevated reading after a hard stretch nudges the coach toward lighter sessions and recovery days.
• The coach can cite those same vitals in chat when you ask about fatigue or readiness.
• Health sync settings now spell out exactly what each permission powers — every permission stays individually optional, with manual entry for anything you’d rather keep off sync.
• Body temperature sync has been retired on all platforms: it never fed a chart or a coaching decision, and we only request health data the app actually uses. Previously synced temperatures are cleaned from the on-device database.

v1.10.1 (August 25, 2026)

• On Android, body temperature is no longer read from Health Connect: Google Play asks apps to request only the health data their features actually use, and temperature never appeared in any chart. You can still log it manually with your daily biofeedback, and Apple Health sync on iPhone is unchanged.

v1.10.0 (August 25, 2026)

• New: a companion mode for people on GLP-1 medications. Plans put protein first with a dedicated floor, a private diary tracks your doses on the Today screen, and the coach adjusts its advice to smaller appetites — for medication decisions it always points you to your prescriber.
• Track two new daily symptoms — nasal congestion and throat mucus — on a simple four-step scale, with charts in Trends under Recovery.
• Starting a new training program that overlaps an existing one now shows an Adjust & Start preview of exactly how the schedule will shift, instead of failing with an error.
• Data exports now include a README that explains every table in the archive, so you (or an AI assistant) can dig into your own data without guesswork.

v1.9.0 (August 22, 2026)

• Macro Trainer is now free to try: download the app and everything is unlocked for 14 days — long enough to see two Weekly Report Cards and watch your plan adapt. After that, a single purchase unlocks the app for good.
• Already bought Macro Trainer? Everything stays yours, forever. The app recognizes your purchase automatically — you will never see a paywall, and there is nothing you need to do.
• One purchase, yours for good: no subscription, no account, no ads. Free updates, and the Linux build stays free for everyone.

v1.8.3 (August 19, 2026)

• Faster launch with Advanced AI: the coach model no longer loads at startup — your daily messages appear instantly, and the model warms up only when the coach actually needs it.
• The Coaching Hub now shows the last couple of days of insights instead of an ever-growing list, adds the profile button, and displays coach photos reliably.
• Workout targets read correctly for barbell and dumbbell lifts (no more “@ BW”), the weight stepper follows your units (5 lb or 2.5 kg), and the rest timer no longer hides behind the Add Exercise button.
• Trends no longer count today’s unfinished totals against you — steps, calories, and other daily metrics use complete days for Average, Latest, and Change.
• Macro bars with no target set, like fiber on a carnivore plan, now show grams eaten over an empty bar instead of a misleading full one.
• Setting a very aggressive goal now gets a heads-up about the weekly rate. Your goal, your call — the plan just tells you what it will take.
• Also fixed: notifications that never dismissed, and share cards now match the app’s macro display.

v1.8.2 (August 18, 2026)

• You can log negative quantities again — the “burger, no bun” subtraction — with a minus key on the quantity pad and a signed macro preview; empty and zero quantities are still rejected.
• Advanced AI no longer dies mid-chat on Android with “Failed to invoke the compiled model”: prompts are budgeted to the context window the phone actually has, and a lost session recovers and retries.
• Long card titles now wrap instead of running off the card edge, and buttons on colored accents pick text that stays readable in both light and dark mode.

v1.8.1 (August 17, 2026)

• The water goal habit now takes incremental logging: a “+” opens quick-add presets (8/12/16/20 oz or 250/330/500/750 ml) with a custom amount and Undo, the row shows 48 / 100 oz on a progress bar, and the habit completes itself when you reach the goal.
• Advanced AI Coaching now works on Windows, which ships the coach runtime beside the app.
• The Mac app now bundles its own coach runtime, so Advanced AI works without installing llama.cpp yourself.
• Linux coach chat now keeps the model resident and streams replies, instead of reloading three gigabytes of weights for every message.
• Meals now carry a time eaten, shown as a tappable chip you can set or change, and your day orders by it.
• A day with nothing logged now shows a single tile with one Add Meal button, instead of a caption and a button at opposite ends of the screen.
• The fasting card breathes while a fast is running and reads “Fasting since 8:02 PM”, and Recovery & Biometrics gains a Trends action that opens Progress at the recovery charts.

v1.8.0 (August 12, 2026)

• Macro Trainer is out of beta: the app is now publicly available on the App Store and Google Play, and Beta is a quiet pill next to the coach chat rather than a badge across the app.
• The coach lineup is reworked: Coach Ken becomes Coach Sam, a former small-town family doctor with a whole-foods, protein-forward philosophy, joined by Coach Naz for strength and mobility after 50 and Coach Theo for endurance training.
• A screen-by-screen polish pass across the app: the Coaching Hub gains an Insights section so the Today card and Coach badge no longer dead-end, the Today header is opaque while you scroll, and floating buttons no longer cover the end of a list.
• Coach chat no longer asks for your location when you open it; weather context is now something you opt into.
• Launch is calmer: one interruption per launch, so release notes step aside for the consent sheet or a due weekly review, and the “What’s new” dialog scrolls and can be turned off.
• Coach Sam’s non-AI replies now speak in his own voice, and custom coaches get neutral copy instead of inheriting someone else’s philosophy.
• The Apple version of the app is branded in Macro Trainer’s teal instead of system blue, the Mac window opens at a workable size without overflowing macro rows, and the Log Food page reads more cleanly.

v1.7.0 (August 10, 2026)

• You can now set the app to Light, Dark or System appearance instead of always following your operating system.
• Metric profiles no longer have their starting weight read as pounds in the plan wizard, which had built targets on a body far lighter than yours.
• The daily water goal now reads in your own units (100 oz or 3.0 L) and can be changed under Profile > Me.
• Food search now orders and labels portions for your unit system, so metric users get grams and millilitres first, and cup and spoon measures carry their gram equivalent.
• A new “Why These Targets?” explanation on your blueprint walks through your BMR estimate, activity and goal adjustments, and how protein, fat and carbs were derived.
• Logging food now rejects empty or zero quantities instead of saving a 0-calorie entry, and deleting a food or a whole meal asks first.
• Weigh-ins now reject zero and negative weights, and body fat is held to a sensible range.

v1.6.0 (August 10, 2026)

• New Trends tab on Progress charts 12 metrics over time: steps, distance, active energy, training volume, resting heart rate, HRV, sleep, recovery score, and calories and protein against your program targets, plus nutrition and workout adherence.
• Trends comes with Program, 1M, 3M, 6M, 1Y and All ranges you can page through, and backfills up to a year of device history; ranges over 120 days roll up into weekly buckets.
• Recovery & Biometrics now tracks blood pressure, blood glucose and ketones, with a derived GKI tile.
• Also fixed: navigation bars that turned near-white in dark mode on iPhone and Mac, and chart titles that repeated the unit (“Steps (steps)”).

v1.5.9 (August 9, 2026)

• Advanced AI Coaching now works in the Linux Snap and Flatpak builds: the app offers a one-time 15 MB download of a verified coach runtime instead of needing one installed on the host.
• The coaching model now downloads into app-managed storage on Linux, so sandboxed installs can find it.

v1.5.8 (August 9, 2026)

• Import and export now work in the Linux Snap and Flatpak builds, which use the desktop’s own file picker instead of a tool the sandbox cannot see.

v1.5.7 (August 9, 2026)

• Starting a new program no longer trips over itself generating the first week, which could fail to save your workouts or create the week twice.
• Fresh installs now get real exercise library entries when a week is generated, instead of placeholders.
• The Insights tab is now called Coach, matching the page it opens; your data insights still live under Progress.
• Linux: the app is now packaged as a .flatpak bundle alongside the existing tarball.

v1.5.6 (August 7, 2026)

• You can now run an intermittent fasting timer: off by default, with 12:12, 14:10, 16:8 or a custom 8-20 hour preset, counting up rather than down, and no streaks or gamification.
• The fast shows on Today with a progress ring and Start/End controls, and a detail screen keeps your session history.
• Logging a meal during a fast warns you and can end the fast, and the whole feature stays hidden in eating-disorder mode.

v1.5.5 (August 6, 2026)

• New Calories Only nutrition plan: one daily calorie target, with no protein, carb or fat target anywhere — your macros stay visible as information.
• The coach now streams its reply as it is written instead of sitting behind a typing indicator, and keeps the conversation in context from one turn to the next.
• The coach also keeps a rolling picture of you across weeks, so it remembers more than the last few days.
• The app reclaims about 567 MB on iPhone, Mac, Windows and Linux by reading the food catalogue where it is already installed, and food search is ready the moment the app opens.
• Setting up the food catalogue on iPhone no longer risks being shut down for memory, is safe to interrupt, and no longer counts against your iCloud backup.
• Crash reporting and analytics now start correctly on Android, where they had never been running.
• Also fixed: a custom food held back from community sharing now tells you why, and Advanced AI chat no longer breaks mid-reply on Android.

v1.5.4 (August 4, 2026)

• Your training programs, daily logs and weigh-ins are now protected across app updates, and accounts that could no longer see their programs are detected and repaired on the next launch.
• Restoring from a backup is now all-or-nothing: if anything goes wrong partway through, your existing data is put back exactly as it was.
• Coach adjustments now work from what you actually burn in a day, bounded by a calorie floor, a cap of about 1% of body weight per week, and hard minimum intakes — and the coach tells you which limit it hit rather than cutting further.
• You can now give an optional age range (18-24 through 65+), which sharpens calorie and macro targets that previously assumed everyone was 30.
• “Body Neutrality Mode” is now “Hide Weight & Body Metrics” and says what it does: it hides the scale, measurements and body-fat charts, and keeps coaching on habits, training and how you feel.
• Sharing a custom food now goes through a review step first, and a shared food carries only the food and its serving sizes — nothing that identifies you, your device or your installation.
• Also fixed: weight charts now scale to your data instead of starting at zero with tappable legend entries, weigh-ins no longer double up between manual entry and Health sync, barcode lookups no longer hang on a poor connection, single-serving foods can be logged, and imported products listed in kilojoules no longer save as zero calories.

v1.5.3 (July 29, 2026)

• AI chat now carries a Beta badge and says plainly that the coach model runs on your own device.
• Missing several weekly reviews now prompts you for the most recent one only, instead of queueing up every week you missed.
• Advanced AI coaching handles its tools and start-up more reliably on the Gemma 4 model.

v1.5.2 (July 23, 2026)

• Advanced AI coaching no longer switches itself off during a long conversation — the coach’s prompt is now budgeted to fit the model’s context window.

v1.5.1 (July 7, 2026)

• The Advanced AI coach can now use several tools in one turn and keeps a long-term memory of what you have told it.
• The app now uses each platform’s own controls, layouts and window sizing on Windows, macOS, Linux, iPhone and Android, including an adaptive settings sidebar on desktop.
• The calendar now follows trackpad and horizontal scroll gestures on desktop.
• Coach photos now load correctly in the Coaching Hub.

v1.5.0 (July 2, 2026)

• Coach chat is now a Coaching Hub: a daily recap card on Today, suggestion wizards, and banners that take you straight to whatever the coach is talking about.
• Desktop builds are redesigned for larger screens, with native styling on each platform — Fluent on Windows, Yaru on Linux.
• You can now mark food logging finished for the day from the meals card or the daily checklist, and editing a meal afterwards clears it again.
• Coach chat drops duplicate messages and accepts a /reset command to clear the conversation.

v1.4.7 (June 28, 2026)

• The coach detects your goals more accurately and triggers in-app actions more reliably.
• Also fixed: coaches confusing pronouns and pets, and malformed reminder tags leaking into messages.

• Also fixed: downloads pausing when the desktop app was in the background.

v1.4.4 (June 18, 2026)

• Coach replies are shorter and easier to read on a phone, and it asks one follow-up at a time instead of repeating questions you already answered.

• 22 more coach profiles to pick from.
• A dropdown in the chat screen switches your active coach without leaving the conversation.
• Starting macros can be customized in the training program wizard.
• Logged Meals no longer expands and collapses, and Add New Meal stays visible; chat bubbles drop the redundant Coach Chat headers.

• Build Your Own Coach lets you create, import, export and chat with your own coaching personas.
• Past messages keep the name and photo of the custom coach who sent them when you switch or delete coaches.

• The meal log card shows meal summaries when collapsed, expands on tap, and moves the expand control to the card footer.

• Progress photo comparison has a fullscreen mode with pinch-to-zoom.
• Photos taken in the guided camera save to the day slot you were filling.

• Food search results no longer repeat the same serving and portion sizes.

• Advanced AI on Android uses GPU acceleration where the chipset supports it, and falls back safely instead of freezing or crashing when it does not.
• Rest days with a prescribed workout no longer count against you in missed workout checks or weekly reviews.
• Also fixed: duplicate and overlapping activity history from health sync, and cramped numbers and undo controls when logging sets on small screens.

v1.3.10 (June 5, 2026)
