## What is Gut Buddy?

Keeping track of your gut shouldn't feel like a chore. Gut Buddy turns it into a 5-second daily check-in, with a friendly bear who cheers you on, dresses up as you go, and never judges.

CHECK IN WITHOUT OPENING THE APP
• Tap the Home Screen widget and you're done
• Small, medium and Lock Screen widgets show your bear and your week at a glance
• Pick your stool type on the Bristol scale with simple illustrations

A BEAR THAT REACTS TO YOUR DAY
• Your bear is thriving after a good day, thirsty when you're behind on water, sleepy at night and proud on milestone days
• It breathes, blinks, and bounces and chats back when you tap it
• No guilt: a missed day never takes away anything you have unlocked

DRESS UP YOUR BEAR
• Unlock 9 hand-drawn outfits: a knit scarf, a beanie, a flower crown, a tiny crown, a straw hat and more
• Earn them with your best streak and by finishing weekly challenges
• Everything you unlock is yours to keep

SMALL WEEKLY CHALLENGES
• Fresh goals every Monday: drink enough water, eat enough fiber, check in a few days
• Gentle and doable, so the habit sticks

SEE WHAT HELPS
• Tag what happened since last time: coffee, spicy food, dairy, alcohol or stress
• Track water and fiber with one tap
• Patterns shows which habits tend to go with better days over the last 4 weeks
• A weekly report, plus a monthly recap you can flip through like a story

SHARE THE CUTE PART, KEEP THE REST
• Share a card of your bear, your streak and your check-in days
• Your logs never leave your phone

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no sign-up
• No ads, no tracking, no analytics
• All data stays on your device, and you can delete everything in Settings at any time

KIND REMINDERS
• An optional daily reminder at the time you choose
• A clear heads-up when something, like blood or several days without a movement, is worth checking with a doctor

Available in English and Vietnamese.
