## What is Deficit.today?

Deficit answers one question: are you eating less than you burn?
Deficit reads your energy burn from Apple Health, you log what you eat, and one clear number tells you where you stand.

LOG IN SECONDS
Type it, or snap a photo - AI estimates calories instantly (Premium).

BUILT ON APPLE HEALTH
Your active and resting energy sync automatically. No manual TDEE guesswork.

DESIGNED TO DISAPPEAR
A focused, minimal interface. Widgets keep your deficit on your Home Screen without opening the app.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your data stays on your device and in your Health app. No accounts, no tracking.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.8 — 2026-10-02

- New Today layout: Your calories and your macros now sit on two separate cards. The Macros card has a fourth ring for fiber and a short tip on what to focus on next.
- Three meals a day: A new daily challenge that resets every day. Log any 3 meals to complete it and see how many times you've earned it.
- Bigger streak goals: Go for "Two weeks strong" (14 days) and "Hundred days strong" (100 days). Streak badges now show the mascot's face, and bigger wins get a bigger celebration.
- Faster day browsing: Swipe the header or either card to change days. When you're further back in your history, a Today button takes you straight back.
- Shorter coaching tips: Each tip now fits on one line.
- Re-estimate glow: A light travels around the button while a meal is being re-estimated.
- Fixed: Sharing your progress card to Messages could get stuck while sending. It now goes through.

### 1.0.7 — 2026-10-01

A cleaner Today screen - your deficit and macros now live in two simple cards, easier to read at a glance.

New: daily challenges and streak rewards to keep you motivated, plus smarter tips based on your actual macros.

Jump back to today instantly from any past day. A few bugs squashed along the way.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-09-23

The mascot now winks, smiles, glances around and occasionally turns
all the way round. Tap it to see what it does.

The daily goal in Settings now uses the same sign as the Today screen
- minus is a deficit - and says your goal in plain words underneath.
It was previously possible to set a surplus when you meant a deficit,
which made good days read as bad ones.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-09-07

- Redesigned Food Detail view for a clearer, more polished look at your logged meals
- Simplified and streamlined onboarding - fewer steps, faster to get started
- Free trial now available on the monthly plan too, not just annual
- Added support for calorie surplus - now available across the app and as a goal option, alongside deficit
- Improved shared layer for better consistency and performance across the app
