Everything that changed inside the app, in the order it reached you. We're building metrIQ in the open — including the parts we got wrong the first time.
The card used to show seven bars of calories eaten, which answers a question nobody asks. It now leads with how the days you’ve finished compare with what your body burned, sets that against what your plan expected, and explains the gap in one plain sentence. Today waits until it closes to join that figure, and gets a line of its own until then — so a logged breakfast never reads as a head start.
Wanting to ease off, switch to maintenance, hold a calorie number of your own or take a week off used to mean leaving the conversation — or wasn't possible at all. Now you just say so, and she works out the trade-off and shows it as a card: exactly what moves, across pace, daily calories and your finish date. Nothing changes until you accept it.
The textbook estimate of what your body burns was never quite yours. Once enough logged days and weigh-ins are behind you, metrIQ measures your real burn instead and moves your daily target to match, telling you in the chat when it does. From there you can open the working — the old estimate, what's been measured, and the days it rests on — or put that change straight back.
The pace slider promised you'd watch the numbers move, and then didn't — the faster settings all landed on the same daily target. Pace is now a share of the deficit your body can safely give, so all five settings are genuinely different, and the fastest one is your own safe maximum rather than a number picked for an average person.
Switching tabs used to sit blank for a beat and then drop the whole screen in at once. Every screen now shows its own shape immediately, and nothing jumps when your real numbers arrive.
Until now she only ever replied, which meant the weeks you most needed a coach were the weeks you heard nothing. She now notices ten things worth saying something about — your weekly check-in, a stall, a hard week after a good run, a milestone, a stretch of silence — and starts the conversation herself. One message a day at most, never during your night.
On a keyboard, Enter sends and Shift+Enter starts a new line — the way every other chat app works. On a phone it's the other way round, so Enter still gives you a line break.
With metrIQ installed on Android, the navigation was drawing underneath the system gesture bar, so the tabs looked cut off and couldn't be tapped. Every pinned part of the app now keeps out of the phone's way.
Asking Sophia for two of something from your pantry logged one, because a saved food had no way to carry an amount — and correcting her reported success while changing nothing. Amounts are now required on every pantry item, the saved serving is shown alongside it, and if a correction doesn't land she tells you instead of saying it's fixed.
The first public release. metrIQ is a coach rather than a tracker: you tell Sophia what you ate and how you trained, in your own words, and she keeps the numbers — calories, protein, your weight trend — and tells you what to do next. Everything above arrived after that day.
