## What is FlöFuel?

FlöFuel is your adaptive cycling nutrition co-pilot. Tell it your ride — intensity, duration, and body weight — and it calculates exactly what to eat, drink, and when.

TWO MODES, ONE GOAL

  • Abstract targets: Get timed carb, hydration, and sodium alerts scaled to your effort
  • Pantry mode: Load your real gels, bars, and drink mixes — FlöFuel schedules them at optimal times with named product alerts

WEATHER-SMART
  
Automatically detects temperature and adjusts hydration and sodium targets. Hot day? Your plan adapts.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0.1 — 2026-05-14

Gels and drinks now bundle together when they're close in time.

If your gel and drink schedules drift apart (for example: a 5-hour ride at 83% FTP gives you gels every ~23 minutes and drinks every ~20 minutes), the planner used to leave them sitting one or two minutes apart in your timeline — a gel at 0:18 right next to a drink at 0:20, then another drink at 0:40 followed by a gel at 0:41. Two alerts, two interruptions, when one would do.

Now the planner snaps gels onto drink times whenever the schedule allows it, so close-together actions land on the same line in your plan. Fewer alerts to dismiss, fewer interruptions on the bike.

Everything else is unchanged: same fueling targets, same nutrient totals, same gel-spacing rules. You'll just see cleaner timelines.

### 2.0.0 — 2026-05-07

Rewritten UX, rewritten scheduler. Works much better!

### 1.1.2 — 2026-04-07

- The watch app should stay open while cycling now
- Now both the watch and iPhone apps have the  "complete" button switch from press-and-hold to single click when a hydration or fueling event is due. All other buttons are now held down to avoid misfires.
- Fixed a bug where the complete button would disappear after a hydration or fueling event

### 1.1.1 — 2026-03-30

What's New in FlöFuel 1.1.1

Watch Syncs Your Just Ride Settings

Configure Just Ride on your iPhone and your Apple Watch picks it up automatically — intensity, weather, duration, and ride kit. A small phone icon confirms the sync. FTP riders see their power target on the wrist.

Smoother Gel Timing

Gel reminders are now evenly spaced based on your carb rate instead of clustering together. Eating and drinking stay on separate rhythms.

Caffeine & Consumption Tracking

Live caffeine monitoring during rides. Set a daily limit and get advisories before you go over.

Sodium Safety Guard

Three-layer protection warns before exceeding safe sodium intake. Set your threshold in Fine-Tune Fueling.

Bug Fixes
  - Fixed notifications that stuck around after ending a ride
  - Fixed haptic alerts continuing after leaving session screens
  - Fixed watch not detecting foreground correctly during handoff
  - Fixed bottle hydration calculations and false deficit warnings
  - Fixed rate overrides not updating the ride timeline
  - Fixed Just Ride ignoring your alert cadence setting
  - Fixed Hydraid PLUS Energy caffeine value (0 → 100mg)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-03-29

What's New in FlöFuel 1.1

Full-Ride Planning

Plan rides longer than your bottles can carry. FlöFuel automatically schedules refill opportunities and shows the total supplies you need — including extra drink mix packets for your pockets.

Smarter Gel Spacing

Gels are now spaced evenly according to your carb target, rather than crammed into alert slots. Your stomach gets time to process each gel, preventing the nausea that comes from eating too frequently. Adjust the minimum gel interval in Fine-Tune Fueling.

Adjustable Fueling Rates

Tap any rate on the Just Ride screen to adjust it for this ride. Set your carb, hydration, or sodium target directly — the plan updates in real time.

Safety Guards

Three layers of consumption protection:
  - Caffeine tracking warns when you approach your limit (default 400mg, configurable)
  - Per-product limits respect manufacturer recommendations (e.g., SaltStick max 10/day)
  - Sodium guard nudges when sodium intake exceeds your target

All guards are advisory — FlöFuel informs, never restricts.

Contextual Help

Tap the (i) button on any screen for plain-language explanations of every feature, setting, and alert.

Fine-Tune Fueling

New settings for experienced riders: gel spacing, GI cap, gentle start, finishing window, sodium guard threshold, and caffeine limit (standard or weight-based).
