## What is Velora?

Tired of guessing which foods cause your bloating, headaches, reflux or rashes?

Velora is your personal food detective. Log meals by photo, barcode, or name  -  our AI
breaks each meal into ingredients and trigger labels (FODMAP, histamine, gluten, dairy,
caffeine). Log symptoms in a few taps. After about two weeks, Velora reveals your TOP
SUSPECTS: the ingredients that tend to precede your symptoms, with a confidence score.

WHY VELORA
• AI meal analysis - photo, barcode, or text. Even hidden ingredients (garlic, onion, oils).
• Top Suspects  -  ranked ingredient↔symptom links, computed privately on your device.
• Elimination trials  -  a guided plan to confirm a trigger (remove → reintroduce).
• Trigger food guide  -  red/yellow/green for your foods and common foods.
• Calories & macros  -  estimated from your meals.
• Sleep insights  -  connect Apple Health to see how sleep affects your symptoms, and which
  foods cost you sleep.
• Calendar heatmap, streaks, and a doctor‑ready report.

PRIVACY FIRST
Your analysis runs on your device. We never store your Apple password  -  only a secure
account token. Connect Apple Health is optional.

IMPORTANT
Velora shows correlation, not causation. It's a wellness tool, not a medical diagnosis.
Talk to a clinician before major diet changes.

Premium unlocks the full suspect list, detailed breakdowns, elimination trials, the food
guide, nutrition, sleep insights, and doctor reports.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-08-26

Your suspects now come with a plan.

GUIDED 2-WEEK ELIMINATION (Premium)
Pick a suspect food and Velora walks you through two weeks without it, with a
one-tap daily check-in. At the end it compares those two weeks against the two
before and tells you plainly whether it made a difference.

WORSE TOGETHER (Premium)
The answer to "why is the same dish fine sometimes and not others". Velora now
finds pairs of foods that look worse combined than either one does alone.

MORE ABOUT EACH SUSPECT (Premium)
See whether a link is getting stronger or easing off, and whether a smaller
portion looks safer for you than a large one.

HOME SCREEN WIDGET
Your logging streak and today's counts, plus one-tap shortcuts to log a meal,
a symptom or a glass of water.

SUPPLEMENTS, WATER AND HOW YOU EAT NOW COUNT
Scanned supplement ingredients, hydration, and eating patterns such as
oversized, very fatty or late meals all feed the analysis instead of sitting
unused in your log.

FEWER FALSE ALARMS
Symptoms are weighed against your sleep, stress and cycle first, so a hard week
is not blamed on dinner.

ALSO IN THIS RELEASE
- Medications, supplements, water and bowel movements are now backed up, and a
  bug that stopped restore from bringing anything back at all is fixed.
- The doctor report exports as a real PDF.
- Apple Health: save the calories and macros from your meals. Off by default.
- A grocery list you can actually shop from.
- Menu scans warn you when a dish contains one of your own suspects.

### 1.3 — 2026-08-14

This update fixes two real bugs reported by users and adds two frequently requested features.

Fixed:
• Adding a meal photo — whether from the camera or your photo library — could sometimes show no result and no error. Fixed: you'll now always see either an analysis or a clear message telling you what happened.
• Premium subscribers could occasionally still see the free-tier scan limit. Your subscription status is now checked and refreshed automatically.

New:
• Track water and fluid intake right from Today, with quick +250ml/+500ml buttons.
• Add supplements and medications by photographing the label or pasting the ingredient list — Velora reads out the individual ingredients automatically, the same way it already does for meals.
• Every entry you log — meals, symptoms, bowel movements, supplements — can now be edited or deleted directly from its own screen.

Thanks for the detailed bug reports that made this update possible. Keep them coming.

### 1.2 — 2026-08-13

Faster and sharper.

- Meal photos are analysed about four times faster. What used to take fifteen
  seconds or so now comes back in a few.
- Better trigger detection. Velora used to record some ingredients under
  slightly different names, for example "lemon juice" and "lemon juice
  (optional)", and treated them as two separate foods. That split the evidence
  and made patterns take longer to appear. Ingredient names are now kept
  consistent, so your suspects surface sooner and with more confidence behind
  them.
- Burping is now its own symptom, separate from Gas and Bloating.
- Running out of AI scans is clearer. If you reach your monthly limit, the Add
  meal screen now tells you straight away that you can keep logging by hand,
  free and unlimited, instead of only showing the paywall.

Thank you to everyone writing in with feedback. Several of these came straight
from your emails.

### 1.1 — 2026-08-12

You asked, we built it:

EDIT AND BACKDATE
- Edit any entry. Fix a dish name, its ingredients, the portion, or the time.
- Log for any past date and time, not just right now.
- The calendar day view is now a real timeline showing exactly when each meal
  and symptom happened. Tap any row to edit it.

FASTER LOGGING
- Re-log a meal you eat often with one tap. No waiting, no AI needed.
- Write or dictate one line ("oatmeal at 8am, bloating around noon") and Velora
  turns it into entries.
- Track bowel movements and your medications or supplements.
- Log mood, energy and stress each day.

BETTER RECOGNITION
- Meal photos now use a stronger AI model, so more ingredients get spotted.
- Set your portion size and calories and macros follow.
- A photo with several dishes can be saved as separate meals.
- Velora remembers how you corrected a dish and reuses it next time.
- The scanner reads packaged-food ingredient labels, not just menus.

NEW IN PREMIUM
- Safe meal ideas built around the foods that work for you, plus a grocery list.
- A plain-language recap of your week, with an optional Sunday reminder.

EVERYONE
- Export everything you have logged as a CSV file.

Thank you to everyone who wrote in. Keep the feedback coming.
