You track your steps, sleep, workouts, heart rate, and nearly everything your body does. But what you eat—the input behind all of it—can still disappear from the record. Plate Pattern gives you a clear, useful record of what you actually eat. It is a personal food notebook built for real meals: homemade food, restaurant plates, leftovers, snacks, and anything that does not come with a barcode or perfect nutrition label. CAPTURE ANY MEAL Snap a photo, describe your meal, or use both. Plate Pattern turns that context into an itemized smart estimate with calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, and fiber. Review every estimate and edit anything before you save. BUILD A DAILY RHYTHM Set the windows when you usually eat. Plate Pattern organizes meals as breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, or anything else—and can remind you around your routine. No streaks, badges, or guilt. SEE THE PATTERN Review today at a glance, follow your week, and browse your meal history. Set optional nutrition targets, see daily totals, and revisit the meals behind the numbers. Home Screen widgets keep today's totals close by. LOG FAMILIAR MEALS FASTER Save repeat meals and log them again without starting over. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Export your meal log to CSV at any time. Meal photos are processed for estimation and are not stored by default. Delete your account and its data from Settings whenever you choose. Plate Pattern is designed for useful consistency, not false precision. Nutrition values are estimates and may be inaccurate, especially when portion sizes or hidden ingredients are unclear. Review and edit before saving. Plate Pattern is intended for personal tracking and is not medical advice.

Zenbody is a daily mobility practice for people who want to feel and move better. Short guided practices, a few minutes long, built from simple stretches you can do in regular clothes. A few minutes a day and your body notices. TODAY'S PRACTICE, CHOSEN FOR YOU Open the app and today's practice is waiting, picked from your focus areas and the time you have. ONE MOVEMENT AT A TIME The player shows one movement, a timer, and a single cue. Put the phone down and move. When a movement is new, the how-to walks you through it step by step, with ways to make it easier. A PRACTICE FOR EACH MOMENT A short break for the middle of a desk day. A reset for when the laptop closes. Something gentle for stiff mornings, and something slow for the hour before bed. Pick the one that sounds like your day. SIMPLE SHAPES, HELD LONG ENOUGH TO MATTER No poses to memorize and no equipment. Clear movements, explained plainly, at a pace that lets you settle into them. Over time, a practice like this builds flexibility and eases everyday stiffness. YOUR WEEK FILLS IN A quiet week view marks the days you practiced, so you can see the habit take shape. Zenbody is free to download. Try for free for 7 days to unlock unlimited practices. Zenbody supports a general mobility and wellness practice. It does not diagnose injuries or replace medical care. If a movement hurts sharply, stop. If you're unsure whether a practice is right for you, check with your doctor first.
