## What is GutLedger?

GutLedger is the private gut health diary built for people with IBS - by someone who has it. Track everything that matters: meals, symptoms, mood, stool, sleep, and fluid intake. Stored locally on your device. No accounts. No cloud. No data harvesting.

FOOD & DRINK DIARY
- Log meals with descriptions, photos, and barcode scanning
- Break multi-ingredient meals into components for accurate trigger tracking
- Built-in database of 470+ foods auto-tags entries as low, moderate, or high FODMAP
- Compound name recognition: "oat milk" -> lactose-free, "almond flour" -> low FODMAP
- Drinks tracked separately so you can spot coffee, alcohol, and tea triggers

SYMPTOM & STOOL TRACKING
- Record symptoms with type, severity, and duration
- Log stools using the Bristol Stool Scale with optional photo records (auto-blurred for privacy)
- Track urgency and spot patterns over time

GUT FEELING CHECK-INS (new in v2.5)
- Quick overall self-rating - "how's your gut today?" - that captures patterns the detailed log misses
- Time-of-day nudge rows surface a check-in when you usually need one
- Pairs with the meal log to correlate "felt rough" days back to the food trigger

MOOD, SLEEP & FLUID
- Rate mood and stress alongside gut symptoms to uncover the gut-brain connection
- Log sleep quality and fluid intake with daily targets

MENSTRUAL CYCLE TRACKING
- Log periods and see how your cycle phase affects your gut
- Period overlay on every calendar view so you can correlate symptoms with hormonal changes

SMART INSIGHTS (PRO)
- Automatic trigger food detection with correlation scoring and lift over baseline
- Safe-foods report - the meals that never cause symptoms
- Send trigger foods to ListLedger as "avoid" tags, or to Settle as recipe filters
- Symptom heatmap, weekly trends, FODMAP load, day-of-week patterns

GUIDED FODMAP ELIMINATION DIET (PRO)
Follow the gold-standard 3-phase protocol recommended by dietitians. Structured elimination phase with progress tracking, guided reintroduction challenges across all 7 FODMAP groups, and a personalisation phase showing your individual tolerances.

PRO - ONE-TIME PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.6.0 — 2026-08-07

UI fixes
Better insights

### 2.5.6 — 2026-07-12

Polish and tweaks

### 2.5.5 — 2026-05-28

Bug fix - medications, supplements, and probiotics now show up correctly in the Ledger.
Previously you could log them but they didn't appear in the timeline, leading to duplicate entries.
Tap a medication to edit, or use the Log Again button to re-log the same dose.

Includes the v2.5.4 fix for the Settings -> Upgrade button on the trial paywall.

### 2.5.4 — 2026-05-27

v2.5 brings cross-app integration and smarter tracking:

GUT FEELING CHECK-INS
Quick "how's your gut today?" self-rating that captures the days the detailed log misses. Time-of-day nudge surfaces a check-in when you usually need one.

SEND TRIGGERS TO YOUR OTHER APPS
One-tap-send trigger foods to ListLedger as "avoid" tags, or to Settle as recipe filters. Stays opt-in - no account, no cloud.

SMARTER FODMAP DETECTION
Compound names now resolve correctly: "oat milk" -> lactose-free, "almond flour" -> low FODMAP. Fewer false flags.

PAYWALL POLISH
Pro upgrade modal now opens reliably on first-tap. Refund reassurance text added.

POLISH
Insights handle empty periods gracefully. Safe-foods report falls back cleanly when you have no symptom-free days yet. Trial-start welcome clarifies your 14 free days.

### 2.4.17 — 2026-04-27

Smoother onboarding, clearer Pro previews, and conversion polish.

Onboarding now ends with a simple reminder choice - Morning, Evening, or skip - instead of a pricing pitch. Pro-only features now show a preview screen with a direct upgrade button rather than bouncing you back. Trial-start welcome makes it clear when your 14 free days begin.

Plus: paywall refund reassurance, decluttered "Not Now" button, medical disclaimer in Help, and a friendlier "active days" framing instead of streaks (better for chronic-illness reality).

Carrying forward: per-drink alcohol breakdown, morning-symptom clustering, day-of-week patterns, sharper trigger-food detection that filters everyday-food noise, and reliable notifications with no middle-of-night alerts.
