Getting started with Honedly

Honedly is a high-protein meal and fitness tracker with an optional AI coach. You log meals, workouts, and weight; the app surfaces what's working in your week and what to change. The whole tracker is free; Pro and Pro+ add the AI.

1. Sign up + onboarding. Register at /register and step through the onboarding wizard — sex, height, age, activity level, primary goal (lose / maintain / gain), and the rate. Honedly does the BMR + TDEE math and proposes your starting calorie + protein targets. You can override the goals if you have a target in mind.
2. Confirm your timezone. The onboarding picks an IANA timezone from your browser; your streaks, daily rollovers, and coach features all use this. Edit later from Profile if it's wrong.
3. Log your first meal. From the dashboard, tap Log meal. Free options: search the food database (USDA + curated chain restaurants), scan a barcode, or pick from your recipe library. Pro adds: snap a photo, dictate a sentence (“3 eggs and a protein shake”), import a recipe URL, scan a nutrition label, or scan a grocery receipt to fill your pantry.
4. Set a workout. Either subscribe to a built-in program (PPL, 5/3/1, Upper/Lower, etc.) from /programs and your dashboard will show today's session, or just log workouts ad-hoc as you train.
5. Install the PWA. Honedly works in the browser but is meant to feel like a native app. On iOS Safari, tap Share → Add to Home Screen. On Android Chrome, tap the install prompt that appears after a couple of visits (or use the ⋮ menu → Install app). After installing, push notifications work and the app launches full-screen with no browser chrome.
6. Optionally connect a wearable. From Settings → Integrations you can connect the wearables available on Honedly (Apple Health, Garmin .fit uploads, and the OAuth vendors listed there) to pull in sleep, HRV, recovery, and workouts. See Connecting wearables for the per-vendor walkthrough.
7. After a week, read your first Coach insight. Visit /coach. Free users see last week's insight; Pro generates a new one on demand. Pro+ also gets the daily morning brief on the dashboard.

• Weigh in at the same time daily (e.g. first thing in the morning, post-bathroom, pre-coffee). The Adaptive TDEE refit on Pro+ uses a 28-day rolling trend — daily weights make that lean cleaner.
• Log meals as you eat them, not at end of day. Five 1-minute logs are better-recalled than one 10-minute one.
• Hit protein first. The Honedly default is 1g per pound of bodyweight; if you hit that, the rest of the macros tend to fall into place.
• Don't miss every day. Streak freezes (free) auto-cover one missed day per perfect week, so the loop survives a busy Tuesday.

• Compare Free vs Pro vs Pro+ — which tier is right for you.
• Connect a wearable — for the sleep, HRV, and recovery signal Coach uses.
• Share Pro+ with a partner — one bill covers two accounts.
