The Mindful Meal Planner helps you understand how what you eat connects to how you feel — without noise, judgement, or dogma. LOG IN SECONDS Capture meals, portions and FODMAP tags, plus digestive symptoms — bloating, pain, gas, urgency, energy and mood — on a clean daily timeline. SEE YOUR PATTERNS Your private Garden Row grows a plant for every food: it thrives on your calm days and wilts on your flare days. A daily Harmony Score turns a dozen signals into one clear number you can follow over time. FIND POSSIBLE TRIGGERS, HONESTLY The correlation engine surfaces foods that tend to line up with better or worse days, with plain-language confidence and clear caveats. Associations are not diagnoses. MINDFUL MEAL PLANNER PRO (optional subscription) - Every possible trigger and beneficial food, 90-day trends and weekday patterns - Your full personalized 7-day meal plan, generated from your own data - Guided elimination and reintroduction protocols - A shareable summary for your dietitian or doctor - Monthly $7.99 or annual $39.99, with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation; the subscription auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings. Your logging, history, Harmony Score and the whole low-FODMAP recipe library are always free. The Mindful Meal Planner is a general wellness and journaling tool. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition, and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.

SilverStrong is built for people over 50 who want to move well at home — without a gym, without a class, and without guessing whether any of it is working. START WITH A NUMBER, NOT A GUESS The Check is a five-minute test you do at home: how many times you can stand from a chair in 30 seconds, and how long you can hold four balance positions. Your result is scored against the published figures for your age and sex, so you know where you actually stand. A SESSION BUILT FOR TODAY Every session is assembled to the length you choose, from movements you can actually do — seated, holding on, or free-standing — and it leaves out anything that loads a joint you have told it is sore. PHOTOS AND STRENGTH LEVELS Every movement has a clear photo showing the steps. If you stand without holding on and own dumbbells, a barbell or a weight bench, switch them on in the You tab and curls, rows, presses, squats and more join your sessions. Floor work such as plank and push-ups is a separate switch. Nothing heavier appears until you ask for it. IT LISTENS, AND IT CHANGES Rate the effort and any pain at the end, answer one question the next morning, and the plan moves. Two clean sessions and it steps up. Pain, or soreness that is worse the next day, and it eases back. The reason is written on the screen in plain words every time. THE THREE WEEKLY TARGETS Moving minutes, strength days and balance days, tracked separately against the World Health Organization's weekly numbers for adults. Balance is the one almost nobody counts. BUILT FOR THE EYES AND HANDS THAT WILL USE IT Large type, high contrast, generous buttons, spoken instructions so you can look away from the phone, and a light and a dark theme. It works on iPhone and iPad. FREE, AND IT STAYS FREE The Check and its score, a complete session every single day, the whole movement library, the three weekly targets and every safety behaviour are free — permanently. SILVERSTRONG PLUS (optional subscription) - Unlimited re-Checks, your trend line, and a projected date you reach the published average for your age - Sessions that step up on their own, plus 20 and 30 minute lengths - Your stiffness compared across session days and rest days - A printable session sheet and a summary page you can hand your doctor - Your full history $6.99 a month or $39.99 a year, after a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. It renews automatically at the same price unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the period, and you can manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings. SilverStrong is a wellness tool, not medical advice. If something hurts, changes, or worries you, talk to your doctor.
