A new look, a focused Today screen, and an Advisor that acts

Stack Almanac has a new look. The Today screen now focuses on one job. Meal logging works for every routine. Advisor action buttons now move your supplements.

Two release days brought Stack Almanac a visual overhaul, a rebuilt daily screen, and a more useful Almanac Advisor. Here is what changed and what it means for you.

A new look for Stack Almanac

Stack Almanac has a fresh identity. A three-capsule mark replaces the open book across the app icon, navigation, and sign-in screens. The colour palette shifted to a cooler navy base with mint green for actions, matching the marketing website. The tagline is now "The intelligent system for supplements."

Onboarding now introduces three pillars that frame how the app works: Organise, Understand, Optimise. They replace the previous generic welcome copy and give new users a clearer sense of what they are building toward.

Amber is now reserved for moments that genuinely need attention. The decorative amber accents scattered across cards and sections have quieted down, so the things that matter stand out more clearly.

The Today screen has one job

Over time the Today screen had become a mixed dashboard: analytics, a checklist, advice cards, and a meal log all in one scroll. That made it harder to answer the one question that matters each morning: "Did I take my supplements?"

The screen is rebuilt around that question. Analytics (Daily Score, Dose Balance, routine impact) moved to the Progress tab, where they belong. The checklist is now the primary content.

Time blocks use progressive disclosure: only the next-due block is expanded, and done or later blocks collapse to a tappable one-line summary. A busy routine that spans four or five time blocks no longer means scrolling past a wall of cards to find what you need right now. One clear focal point, one obvious next action.

Meal logging now works for every routine

Previously, meal entry only appeared inline next to time blocks that resolve to a meal time (breakfast, lunch, dinner). If your routine was built around morning or fasted supplements, there was no meal block anywhere on the Today tab, and the Nourishment section pointed you to a place to log meals that did not exist in your view.

The Nourishment section now becomes an active meal logger in that situation. Four chips (Breakfast, Lunch, Snack, Dinner) appear at the top, defaulted to the current time of day, and open the same paste-a-meal entry used with mealtime supplements. If your routine does include a mealtime block, the existing inline placement is unchanged.

Advisor action buttons now work

When the Almanac Advisor suggests moving a supplement to a different time, it shows a "Move them" action button in the chat. That button previously did nothing. The issue: your active supplements are displayed with their dose included ("Vitamin D3 2000IU"), and the Advisor echoed that exact string, which did not match the bare catalogue name the action resolver expected.

The resolver now tries several matching strategies in sequence, checking your active routine first, then the catalogue by exact name, then by name after stripping the dose. Advisor suggestions now reliably connect to the right supplement and the action completes. This matters because it is the bridge between insight and action: the Advisor can now not only tell you what to change, but help you make the change directly from chat.

How to see these changes

Open Stack Almanac. The new brand, Today screen layout, and Advisor action buttons are live immediately. The meal logging change takes effect on the Today tab if your routine has no mealtime supplements.
