Something broken? See known issues first.

Food

Log what I ate
Scan a barcode

In the log sheet, tap Scan a barcode and hold the barcode inside the frame. The camera works on the phone; nothing from it is stored or sent. The barcode itself is looked up at Open Food Facts.

Not found? Create the food yourself: a photo and the values from its label.

Dishes and my own foods

A dish is a few foods you eat together — your usual breakfast, a home recipe. Find them under Dishes in the log sheet. On Today, long-press a meal’s heading to copy it or to make a dish from it.

Daily targets

Upwell works out daily energy and macro targets from your goal, your body numbers and your weight trend. Change them in You › Targets.

The targets are estimates for a healthy adult, not medical advice. Pregnant, ill, or under 18? Ask a doctor before eating less.

Body and training

Weight and body

Tap You › Weigh in. Upwell draws a trend through your weigh-ins, so one heavy morning does not move it much. Weigh-ins from Apple Health come in by themselves (Apple Health).

Gym: workouts, routines, programs

Finished? Tap Finish workout.

Sleep

On iPhone, sleep comes from Apple Health: bedtime, wake time and time asleep, night by night. Connect it first (Apple Health).

Habits and patterns

Challenges and habits

A challenge is one change that serves your goal — for example, fewer sweet drinks. Habits are the small checkpoints on the way. Each one says why it helps; swap or leave it any time.

Reminders

Turn them on in You › Reminders & check-ins and allow notifications. Reminders are scheduled on your phone; nothing is sent to show them.

Insights and patterns

Insights draws your days as trends, and finds Patterns across areas — for example short nights and eating more.

A pattern shows that two things happen together, not that one causes the other. It is a hint to look at, never a diagnosis.

Connections

Apple Health and Health Connect
Sync and my account

An account is optional; Upwell works fully without one. With an account, You › Account › Turn on sync keeps a copy of your diary on our server in Germany, for your other phones. Photos and Apple Health readings stay on the phone.

Forgot your password? See Support.

Friends and share links

Share what you choose with a friend, or send a share link. Each choice can be taken back at any time.

Friends are not on for everyone yet; if you do not see You › Friends, it is coming.

Your data

Export my data
Delete my account

You › Account › Delete account, then confirm. What is deleted and what is kept: Delete your account.

Privacy in short

Everything else: the privacy policy.

Usage statistics

Off unless you turn it on. When on, the app counts which features are used — say, “a food was logged by scan” — under a random id that is not your account. Never a food, a number, your weight or anything you type.

Turn it on or off in You › Data & privacy › Share usage stats. Turning it off deletes what was sent. Details: privacy policy.

The app

Language

Upwell speaks English and Ukrainian. It follows your phone’s language; to choose, open You › Settings › Language.

Help & feedback in the app

You › Help & feedback: pick Bug, Idea or Question, write a few words, and add an email if you want a reply.

Offline, the same can go by email to support@upwell.page.
