One number. One ring. Roughage is the fiber tracker that skips the calorie counting and clutter. Most people eat half the fiber they need. Roughage fixes that by making fiber the only number you track: log a food, watch the ring fill, hit your daily goal. That's the whole app. WHY FIBER Fiber is the single most under-eaten nutrient, and the one most tied to how your gut actually feels. Roughage helps you hit 30 to 40 grams a day without the guilt-tracking of a full calorie app. WHAT YOU GET - A live daily fiber ring. See exactly where you stand, all day. - The 30-plants-a-week game. Every distinct plant you eat fills a tile. - Snap a photo. Point your camera at a plate or a label and Roughage estimates the fiber. - A built-in food library of hundreds of common foods, ready in one tap. - Daily gut check-in. See how fiber affects how you feel. - History, streaks, and English, Spanish, and Portuguese. NO NOISE No calorie counting. No macro spreadsheets. No ads. Just fiber, plants, and how your gut feels. Start today. Your gut will notice the difference.
