## What is GutClues?

GutClues is the private, on-device food, bowel, and symptom tracker for people managing IBS, Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, SIBO, or unexplained gut issues. Three buttons. Five seconds to log. The food-to-symptom patterns your gastroenterologist actually wants to see.

No account. No cloud. No data sales. Everything stays on your phone.


WHY GUTCLUES IS DIFFERENT

• Everything stays on your phone. No account, no sign-up, no cloud.
• One-time purchase. No subscription. No ads. No data sales. Ever.
• Built so a 5th grader could use it, with clinical-grade data underneath.
• Designed to be exported — one tap turns weeks of entries into a PDF, spreadsheet, or plain-text summary you can send to your gastroenterologist, primary care doctor, or an AI assistant.


WHAT YOU CAN LOG (IN SECONDS)

• Food — type a few words, or snap a quick photo, or dictate a voice note
• Bowel movements — pick the picture that looks like what you saw; capture Bristol stool scale, urgency, blood, shape
• Feelings — tap a face; add notes if you want
• Water, caffeine, activity, medications — small taps, nothing required
• Backdate any entry — forgot last night's dinner? Stepper the date and log it
• FODMAP-aware food tagging — flag low/high FODMAP meals as you go


WHAT IT DOES FOR YOU

• Surfaces the food-to-symptom patterns between what you ate and how you felt
• Builds the structured record GI doctors actually ask for: "What did you eat, when did symptoms start, how often, how urgent"
• Helps you spot triggers across gluten, dairy, FODMAP, caffeine, and stress
• Gives you a "no surprises" window before your next gastroenterologist appointment — you show up with the data already in hand
• Lets you stop wondering and start noticing


PRIVACY IS THE WHOLE POINT

Your logs live in GutClues' private database on this device. We do not have a server. We cannot see your food photos, read your voice notes, or know what color your last bowel movement was — because none of that ever leaves your phone. If you delete the app, iOS deletes your data with it. If you want a copy, the Export screen lets you choose where it goes.


WHO IT'S FOR

• People managing IBS, IBD, Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, SIBO, or unexplained GI symptoms
• Anyone on a low-FODMAP, gluten-free, or elimination diet looking for symptom patterns
• Anyone prepping for a gastroenterologist visit
• Parents tracking a child's reactions to foods
• Anyone who wants to stop being surprised by their own gut


MEDICAL DISCLAIMER

GutClues is a tracking tool, not a medical device. It doesn't diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition. The patterns it surfaces are observations, not findings. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider about your symptoms.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2.7 — 2026-08-08

One episode isn't always one consistency — so now it doesn't have to be.

• Was it mixed? After you save an episode, tap "Add another consistency" to record every type that was in that one trip. Common after bowel surgery, in IBS-M, and during a flare. Your log now shows it as a single episode, marked mixed — for example "Type 6 + 7".
• Add a note right when you log. There's now a note field on the save screen, so you don't have to go hunting through History to add the detail while you still remember it.
• Mixed episodes carry through to your doctor report and CSV export, so the pattern goes to your care team the way it actually happened.
• Already-logged entries can be edited into mixed ones too — tap any entry in History.

Thank you to the reader who wrote in asking for both of these. Keep the feedback coming.

### 1.2.6 — 2026-07-21

Log every episode, not just one:

• Log as many bowel movements in a day as you need. After you save one, Gut Clues confirms it and offers "Log another" right there — no trip back to the home screen.
• The Food and Poop buttons now show a count for the day you're viewing, so you can see at a glance how many are already logged.
• The morning catch-up card lets you add several episodes for yesterday in one pass instead of stopping after the first, with a running count as you go.
• The overnight check-in now records a bathroom trip, vomiting, and fever together instead of closing after the first tap.

### 1.0 — 2026-05-20
