Scan Your Bottles, Get Timing Tips, and Personalise Your Profile

Setting up your supplement routine in an app has always been tedious: searching for products, entering doses, figuring out when to take what. Today's update makes the whole process feel effortless.

Scan your bottles, skip the data entry

Point your camera at any supplement bottle and Stack Almanac will identify the product, extract the key details, and automatically research it using AI. You get a complete supplement profile (form, typical dose, what it's used for, and any important notes) without typing a thing.

It works with most retail bottles and even some bulk containers. Just scan and confirm.

Timing tips where you need them

Every supplement detail page now includes timing guidance: when to take it (morning, evening, with food, on an empty stomach), what foods help or hinder absorption, and any interactions to be aware of.

This isn't generic advice. It's contextualised to the supplement's form and your existing routine. If you're taking something that competes for absorption with another supplement in your inventory, you'll see a heads-up.

Personalise your profile with an avatar

Upload a profile photo or avatar from your account settings. It shows up in the app header and anywhere your profile appears. A small touch, but it makes the experience feel more yours.

Tell us what you take, in plain English

New to Stack Almanac? You can now type something like "I take vitamin D, magnesium glycinate, and omega-3 in the morning" during onboarding, and the AI will parse it into structured entries with correct forms, doses, and timing included.

No dropdowns, no multi-step forms. Just describe your routine and we'll set it up.

Better error handling

We've added error boundaries throughout the app so that if something unexpected happens, you'll see a helpful message instead of a blank screen. These improvements are invisible when everything works, but they matter when things go sideways.

Setup should be the easy part. Now it is.
