Frequently Asked Questions
Everything about how the app works, what makes it different, and how plans & profiles work — for your whole family, humans and pets, in one place.
How It Works
Three steps. First, you log what you eat — down to the ingredient — plus how you feel: symptoms, energy, skin, digestion, mood. It takes just a few minutes a day. Second, you keep tracking. Many food reactions are delayed — they can show up three to seven days later — which is exactly why guesswork fails and a tracked timeline works. Third, the app surfaces the patterns, and at Day 45 your AI-driven Pattern Modeling Reports unlock to highlight the connections you'd never spot by eye, including those delayed reactions.
You don't count calories, fat or protein — we're not a nutrition tracker. But amounts matter: sensitivities are often dose-dependent — a little might be fine while more, or the same food day after day, tips you over. So note roughly how much you ate, along with your lifestyle and how you feel, and the app finds the links.
Because the trigger could be any single ingredient — and to find it, the app needs to see it come and go. Take our founder, Kristina: her peppered morning scrambled eggs seemed to bring on knee swelling — but was it the eggs, the butter, the salt, or the pepper? The giveaway came when she switched to boiled eggs, which she doesn't pepper, and the swelling stopped. The flare tracked the pepper, not the eggs. Logging each ingredient — not just "eggs" — is what lets the app catch that, so you change the one thing, not your whole diet.
Only the first time. Once you've built a meal with its ingredients, you can copy it into any future day — tomorrow, next week, whenever — and just tweak an ingredient or a portion if something changed. A repeat meal logs in seconds, not a re-type of every ingredient. Most people eat a fairly repeating rotation, so the effort drops off fast. To copy, just tap the copy icon next to any meal — it duplicates the entry, then you set the new date and adjust anything that's different.
No problem — nothing's locked in. Every entry has an edit icon (the pencil) to change it, and a delete icon (the bin) to remove it. Fix a wrong portion, correct an ingredient, or delete the entry entirely.
No — just log the changes. For a one-off symptom, log it with a start and an end. For an ongoing one, start it and leave it active, updating the severity only when it shifts. You don't need to mark every good day or bad day: if your severity moves by 2 or more points — up or down — log it, and the app carries your last reading forward across the days in between. (Prefer the routine, and like seeing a full day-by-day graph? You're welcome to log every day too — entirely up to you.)
Because patterns need enough data to be real. Delayed reactions can take three to seven days to show up, and the modeling needs to see the same thing happen more than once before it'll call it a pattern rather than a coincidence. Show you less than that and it's just a guess dressed up as an answer. So reports unlock at Day 45 — the minimum — and complex patterns can take up to around 90 days as more data builds.
It's diet-agnostic — carnivore, animal-based, AIP, elimination, keto, low-FODMAP, Mediterranean, or no specific diet at all. It works for what you eat, however you eat.
Yes — your data is yours, and you can export it anytime. Data portability is one of the ways we've built the app to be GDPR-compliance-ready.
What Makes Us Different
Two things. One — it's built for your whole household, people and pets, from the ground up. Every profile is species-aware, so your dog's profile isn't asking about migraines, and yours isn't asking about paw-licking. Two — instead of counting calories, it connects what you eat (and your lifestyle) to how you feel, using AI-driven modeling to surface the links — including delayed reactions days later. No other tracker does both species.
An allergy test looks for allergies — immediate immune reactions. It's not built to catch intolerances and sensitivities, which are different: often delayed, dose-dependent, and invisible to a panel. That's the gap we fill — tracking your food and symptoms over time surfaces the patterns a test isn't even looking for. (A tracking tool, not a diagnosis — it doesn't replace medical testing.)
Those are calorie and macro trackers — they count calories and nutrients. We track what you eat and how you feel, then find the connections between the two — and we do it for pets too, not just people.
Most are built around a single person — Bearable, for example, is one person per account, so a second person needs their own (and their own subscription). We're multi-species from the ground up: people and pets, each under one account, each profile tracking only what's relevant to it. Tracking your dog's triggers and your own would otherwise mean two apps and two subscriptions.
A paper diary can't catch a reaction that hits five days after the food. The app correlates across time and uses AI-driven modeling to surface the delayed links a human eye misses — connecting what you ate days ago to how you feel today.
Plans & Profiles
Yes — 14 full days with complete access to every feature. No credit card required to start. You'll only be asked to choose a plan if you decide to continue after Day 14.
On Day 15, you'll be invited to pick a plan. If you choose not to subscribe, your data stays safe — you just won't be able to add new entries until you subscribe.
Yes — one account holds multiple profiles, any mix of people and pets, each with its own species-aware tracking. See the plans on the pricing page for how many active profiles each one includes and how switching works.
You pay for the profiles you keep active — only for what you're actually tracking. Flying Solo covers 1 active profile, Duo 2, Little Pack 3 (need more? just ask). One account holds your whole household — set up as many profiles as you like and switch which one's active anytime.
No. On Flying Solo you keep one profile active and switch to another when you genuinely move on — say you've finished one pet's elimination cycle and you're starting the next. Your first profile's history is saved; you pick up the second where you left off. (Each switch has a 48-hour hold — it's for real transitions, not flipping back and forth. To track two at once, add an active profile.)
Then you keep both profiles active and choose the plan that matches how many you track in parallel — Duo for two, Little Pack for three. You only ever pay for the level you actually need: switch on Flying Solo when it's one at a time, or step up a plan to run several active at once.
There's a 14-day free trial (no card), but no forever-free plan — on purpose. Free apps usually pay the bills another way: selling your data or running ads. We'd rather not do either — your data is yours, and we don't sell it. A small subscription also helps keep our community clean — enough to keep most bots and spam out, so the people you're talking to are real.
Yes. No contracts, no cancellation fees. You can cancel from your account settings at any time. If you cancel an annual plan, you'll keep access until the end of your billing period.

Food Sensitivity Tracker is a tracking and pattern-discovery tool. It does not provide medical or veterinary advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult your healthcare provider or veterinarian before making dietary changes.
