Your week: a recap designed to welcome you back

Most weekly summaries are report cards. Ours is built for the person who had a rough week — with the headline that's actually true, and no guilt in the copy.

Weekly summaries are where a lot of tracking apps quietly become unkind. The email arrives Sunday night: you logged 3 of 7 days, you exceeded your goal 4 times, your streak is broken. It’s accurate. It’s also the exact message that makes someone close the app for good.

We built “Your week” with the opposite goal: it should be safe to open after a bad week. Here’s how that shapes it.

The headline picks the strongest true thing

Every recap leads with one sentence, chosen in a strict order of what’s real:

  1. Weight moved — “Down 1.3 lb this week, logged 5 of 7 days.” If the scale moved, that’s the news.
  2. Protein consistency — “Protein floor hit 5 of 6 logged days — muscle says thanks.” For anyone protecting muscle through a deficit, this is the win that matters.
  3. On-target days — “4 days landed within 10% of your target. Steady week.”
  4. Plain steadiness — “5 of 7 days logged, averaging 1,790 cal.”

Notice what’s not on the list: anything about what you didn’t do. A skipped day is a day with no data, not a zero to be scored against you.

Quiet weeks get a different recap entirely

If a week has one logged day or none, there’s no stat grid, no averages, no red numbers. There’s a sentence: “A quiet week in the log — that happens. Tomorrow morning is a fresh page.” And a note that one tap on “Copy yesterday” or a quick sentence in Describe restarts the picture.

That’s the whole recap. It doesn’t ask you to feel bad; it makes coming back feel small. That’s not softness for its own sake — retention research is brutally consistent that lapse-shaming ends habits, and our own numbers agree.

Discovery of the week

A small thing people have told us they love: the recap surfaces the first-ever food you logged that week and how many times you came back to it. “Discovery of the week: Leo’s Chicken Gyro — logged 3×.” It’s a little celebration of your actual food life, not your compliance.

The GLP-1 line, and where it stops

If you log doses, the recap adds one observation: your average intake on dose days versus other days — “1,420 on dose days vs 1,780 on other days; appetite ran lighter on shot days.” It’s your own pattern, shown back to you. It’s not advice, it never mentions the dose itself, and it doesn’t appear when the gap is inside the noise. Knowing your pattern is useful; being told what to do about it is a line a passive log should not cross.

Sunday’s data, Monday’s recap

Recaps cover the last completed Monday-to-Sunday week and land Monday morning — a “Your week is ready” nudge for anyone who allows notifications, quiet weeks excepted (we don’t push at someone to tell them they didn’t log). Open it, share it if you’re proud of it, dismiss it if you’re not. It’ll be there again next Monday either way.

A good week deserves a highlight reel. A hard week deserves a soft landing. Both deserve a next week.
