DD vs Daily Portion Buddy

DD420 is a private wellness companion for veterans managing PTSD who also use cannabis for symptom relief. No judgment. No politics. Just tools. Your data never leaves your device. No accounts. No ads. No one is watching. DAILY CHECK-IN Track your PTSD symptoms using the same four clusters the VA uses — Intrusion, Avoidance, Mood & Thinking, and Alertness — in a guided, one-step-at-a-time flow built to feel less overwhelming. Rate each area honestly, log your mood and sleep, and note what triggered you. Takes less than two minutes, and your progress saves automatically if you get interrupted. Over time, your check-ins build a picture of how you're actually doing — not how you think you're doing. CANNABIS SESSION LOG Log each session with strain, method, THC and CBD content, timing, and — most importantly — why you used it and whether it helped. Select from 12 veteran-specific conditions including PTSD symptoms, chronic pain, sleep and insomnia, nightmares, anxiety, hyperarousal, and more. Each condition has its own curated list of effects to track. You'll start to see which strains, methods, and dosages actually move the needle for your specific symptoms. INSIGHTS Charts built from your own data. See your symptom severity trend over time, which PTSD clusters affect you most, how sleep quality relates to your symptom scores, how cannabis use correlates with next-day symptoms, and which conditions you use most. The more you log, the clearer the patterns become. COPING TOOLS Evidence-based tools organized by what you need right now. Breathing exercises, grounding techniques, progressive muscle relaxation, sleep visualization, and urge surfing — available any time, no subscription required. TOLERANCE BREAK TRACKER Set a break goal, track your progress day by day, and get coping prompts for cravings. Includes plain-language education on what tolerance is and what to expect during a break. 100% FREE Every feature in DD420 is free. Always. No subscriptions, no locked features, no paywalls. If you want to support development, an optional one-time tip ("Buy Me a Bag") is available in Settings — never required. BUILT FOR VETERANS Veterans Crisis Line: 988, press 1 — call or text directly from the app, one tap, any time. Chat: veteranscrisisline.net DD420 is not affiliated with the VA or DoD. It is not a medical app and does not diagnose or treat any condition. All data is stored on your device only.

Daily Portion Buddy is portion control without the spreadsheet. Define your own food categories and serving sizes — vegetables, protein, water, or anything your own plan calls for — then tap once each time you eat a serving. No calorie database to search, no macros to calculate by hand, just a simple daily picture of whether you're eating balanced. HOW IT WORKS • Define your categories — set a serving size and a daily target for each one, worded the way you actually think about food (a cup, a palm, a glass). • Tap to log servings — every portion is one tap. Watch each category fill in as you go through the day. • Hit your daily goal — a simple progress bar shows how balanced today is. Flip back through past days anytime. AI-SUGGESTED CATEGORIES & SERVINGS Not sure where to start? Tell us your sex, age, and weight and Daily Portion Buddy suggests a starting set of categories and daily serving targets for you to adjust as you go. SNAP A PLATE — AI PHOTO FOOD ID Take a photo and Snap A Plate identifies the food, estimates which of your categories and how many servings it covers, and gives you an estimated calorie and macro (protein, carb, fat) breakdown. The AI forms an initial read, then explicitly re-examines distinguishing details — sauce, texture, hot vs. cold, mixed-in ingredients, and how mounded or deep the portion is — before finalizing, to cut down on mix-ups between similar-looking dishes. Estimates are informational only and never replace your own judgment. SPEAK A PLATE Prefer to describe your meal instead of photographing it? Speak or type what you ate and get the same category, calorie, and macro estimate. CHEF BUDDY A lighthearted way to see your progress: pick from the categories you still have room for today and watch Buddy "cook up" a plate with them. Purely cosmetic, purely for fun — a small reward for staying on track. MOOD CHECK-INS Log how you're feeling alongside your portions, with a private note field. Optionally share just your mood level (never your notes) with your Social Circle for encouragement. FAMILY & SUPPORT CIRCLE Track portions for more than one family member from a single account, or invite a supporter to your Circle for accountability and encouragement. Built for households managing portions together, not just solo tracking. KIDS MODE A simpler, kid-friendly logging view, plus optional mood & behavior notes — including on-device voice dictation for the note field, so younger or older family members can speak instead of type. Dictation is on-device speech-to-text only; nothing is sent to a server or an AI model. REPORTS, HISTORY & AI INSIGHTS Look back at any past day, see how consistently you're hitting your targets by category, export a doctor-ready PDF summary, and generate an AI-written insight that surfaces patterns between your logged mood and your portions over the last 7 or 30 days. Available in 9 languages. Daily Portion Buddy is a tracking and habit tool, not a medical device — it does not diagnose, treat, or replace advice from a physician or registered dietitian. AI-estimated calories and macros are approximations based on a single photo, description, or audio clip, not a lab or database lookup. Premium AI features (Snap A Plate, Speak A Plate, AI-suggested categories, PDF export, and AI insights) run on a monthly token allowance included with a Personal or Family subscription plan. Start tracking — it's free.
