Aahar opens on today. The ring and the big number show how many calories you've logged for the day; set a daily goal to see how much is left. Move between days with the ‹ › arrows.
Tap the ✎ on any logged item to change its amount, or ✕ to remove it. Everything saves automatically.
The Add food screen has your quick-add fields at the top, then Aahar's own curated library (this grows over time — see below), then — if you've added a free USDA API key in Settings — a USDA FoodData Central section searching 300,000+ foods. Type 3+ letters to search both at once.
If a food isn't in Aahar's library or USDA's database, add a free Groq API key in Settings, then tap ✨ Generate "…" with AI at the bottom of the search results. Aahar asks AI for calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber and a micronutrient estimate for that food, and saves it to your own library — it'll show up with an AI badge in future searches (even offline), so you only ever generate a given food once.
After picking a food, choose how you measured it: serving, number (e.g. "2 blueberries" — tell Aahar roughly how many grams one item is, or leave the default guess), gm, oz, lb, ml, L, tsp, tbsp, or cup. The calorie and macro totals update live as you type.
USDA figures are read straight from FoodData Central per 100g (their standard basis) and converted using the unit you pick. AI-generated figures are Groq's best estimate, not a lab measurement. Both are useful references but, like all figures here, approximate rather than exact for your specific item.
12:12 — 12 hours fasting, 12 hours eating. The gentlest option, often just overnight (e.g. sleep 8pm–8am). A good place for beginners to start.
16:8 — 16 hours fasting, an 8-hour eating window (e.g. 12pm–8pm). The most common intermittent fasting schedule.
18:6 — 18 hours fasting, a 6-hour eating window. A step up once 16:8 feels easy.
20:4 — 20 hours fasting, a 4-hour eating window (sometimes called the "Warrior Diet" style). More advanced; break the fast gently.
OMAD — One Meal A Day, roughly a 23:1 split. Your one meal needs to be balanced and cover your day's nutrition.
Custom — pick any number of fasting hours that suits you.
Pick a plan from the dropdown on the fasting card — this sets your daily goal. Tap the ⓘ next to the "Intermittent fasting" label any time for a quick reminder of what your selected plan means and general fasting tips.
Tap Start fast when your eating window closes. The ring fills as you approach your goal; tap End fast to log it. If you reach your target hours, that day is automatically marked complete. Fasting can only be started or stopped on today — past days show a read-only summary.
Tap the ✓ button next to Start/End fast to manually mark (or unmark) the day you're viewing as a completed fast — handy if you tracked it another way. A green ✓ next to the date at the top means that day is complete. Your streak counts consecutive completed days.
In Settings → Fasting reminders, turn on a start-fast, break-fast, and/or log-a-meal reminder and set a time using the time picker. Tap Enable for browser notifications — these fire automatically every day at that time while Aahar is open in a tab.
For reminders that work even when Aahar isn't open, tap Add reminders to your calendar to download a .ics file with daily-repeating events — import it once into Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar and it keeps notifying you every day.
In Settings → Your profile & nutrition targets, enter your sex, age, height, weight, activity level and goal (lose / maintain / gain). Aahar estimates a daily calorie, protein, carb, fat and fiber target using the Mifflin-St Jeor formula, your activity level, and a protein target of about 1.6g per kg of bodyweight.
The Nutrition targets card on the main screen fills in as you log food — bars show how close you are to each macro target for the day you're viewing.
Chips like Iron, Calcium, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, B12, Potassium and Omega-3 each show the recommended daily amount for someone with your sex and age (e.g. "Iron · 18mg/day needed") and light up green once you've logged at least one food that's a good source of that nutrient that day. This is a simple coverage check against a standard reference amount, not a precise milligram count of what you actually ate.
Below the chips, Aahar suggests specific foods from the library to add if you're short on a macro or missing a nutrient for the day — e.g. "low on protein — try paneer, dal, or chicken breast."
These are general estimates for a healthy adult, not medical or dietary advice. If you have a medical condition or specific nutrition needs, please check with a doctor or dietitian.
Tap 🏃 Add activity next to Add food. Pick from common activities (walking, running, yoga, weight training, and more) and enter a duration — Aahar estimates calories burned using a MET value (a standard exercise-intensity measure) × your body weight × time. You can also use Quick add to type a name and a calorie figure directly, e.g. from a fitness watch.
Calories burned are subtracted from what you've eaten to give your net calories for the day — this is what's compared to your goal, shown in the "kcal left" chip, and used to award the day's ⭐ on the Calendar.
Set a target weight in Settings → Your profile. It doesn't change your calorie target by itself (your Goal and weekly rate do that) — it's used by the Dashboard to show progress and a rough time estimate.
Tap the 📊 icon for an overview: your weight trend against your goal weight, current streak and total stars, a 7-day calorie bar chart, and a few plain-language recommendations based on your recent logging (like whether you're tracking above or below target, or low on protein). Log your weight from the Dashboard any time to update the trend line — each entry is saved with its date so you can see it change over time.
Tap the 📅 icon in the top bar to see a month view with your streak and stars.
A day earns a star when you've logged at least one food item and your total calories for that day are at or under your calorie target. Your target comes from your Settings → Goal calorie value if you've set one, otherwise from your nutrition profile's calculated target.
Your current streak counts consecutive days (ending today) with a star. It resets if a day is logged over target, or if a day has no entries at all. The calendar also shows your best streak ever and your total stars earned.
Each date shows the day number, a small calorie total if you logged anything, and a ⭐ badge if that day hit your target. Tap any day to jump straight to it in your log.

Your fasting plan, streak, nutrition profile, targets, reminder settings, USDA API key, Groq API key, and any AI-generated foods are all part of the same encrypted log, so they sync automatically too — no extra setup needed for them.
