Log Your Meals and Stay on Track

Update (May 2026): The two-way "Talk to Almanac" voice mode described below has been put on hold. The mic button still works as one-way dictation, with replies coming back through the text advisor. The meal tracking and push notification work in this release is unchanged. Decision rationale and resurrect path: see the changelog.

This is the biggest update we've shipped since launch. Meals, voice, and always-on reminders. Three features that fundamentally change how you use Stack Almanac.

Log meals in plain English

Type "coffee and eggs" and Stack Almanac parses it into structured items with nutritional context. But this isn't a calorie counter. It's about understanding how your food interacts with your supplements.

If you log coffee near your iron supplement, you'll see an alert that caffeine reduces iron absorption. If you eat a high-fat meal, the app notes which of your fat-soluble supplements would benefit from being taken now.

What's included

• Natural language meal entry: describe what you ate and the AI structures it
• Food-supplement interaction alerts: real-time warnings when timing or combinations matter
• Quick-log templates: save your regular meals (morning coffee, usual lunch) for one-tap logging
• Fasting tracker: log your eating window and see how it aligns with your supplement timing
• Nutrition gap detection: the advisor highlights nutrients you might be missing based on your typical diet

Meals and supplements have always been connected. Now your app understands that too.

Voice (deferred)

Two-way voice was shipped, then paused. The mic button on the advisor still works for dictation: speak your question, the transcript flows into the text advisor, and the response comes back with full tool-calling and personal context. The full-duplex version may return; the work is parked, not deleted.

Server-side push reminders

Push notifications now fire from our servers, which means they arrive even when you haven't opened the app in days. Previous reminders required the app to be active in the background. That limitation is gone.

If you've ever missed a supplement because the reminder didn't come through, this fixes it.

A faster, smarter advisor

Behind the scenes, we've refactored the advisor to load your context more efficiently and respond faster. Conversations feel snappier, and the advisor draws on a richer set of data points when giving suggestions.

Why this matters

Supplements don't exist in isolation. What you eat, when you eat, and how your body responds are all part of the picture. With meals, voice, and reliable reminders, Stack Almanac is becoming the complete daily companion we set out to build.

This is a milestone, and we're just getting started. Try it now.
