English, Bulgarian, German, Greek, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Turkish, Ukrainian, Arabic and Hindi. It follows your phone's language, and you can pick another in Settings → Language.

Nothing to do. The first time you open the new version, your diary, food photos and chats with your coach move over on their own. They're read from your phone, so update the app rather than reinstalling it.

Search the food library, scan a barcode, or pick a recipe or one of your own foods. With Premium, you can also snap a photo of your plate, type or say what you ate and let Quick Add log it, or just ask your coach to log it for you.

Yes. Make your own foods, meals and recipes, and keep your favorites close. You'll find them in Settings → Foods and Settings → Recipes.

Yes. Add meals and workouts to any day ahead, then check them off when you eat or train. With Premium, plans fill your days for you, and your coach can plan the next few days with you.

Yes, both ways, once you connect them. Weigh-ins, workouts, steps, sleep and more come in, and the meals you check off, water, weigh-ins and finished workouts go out.

Answer questions about your food and training with your own numbers, plan your next few days, react when you log a meal or finish a workout, and review your week with you. It can make the changes for you, and while Ask before changes is on, it asks first. It keeps notes about you, so it remembers what matters, and you can read and delete them in Settings → AI Coach → Journal.

Whoever you'd listen to. Max is a calm personal trainer, Payne a drill sergeant, Ada a sports scientist, Sunny your best friend, Marcus a stoic, Brody a gym bro, and Betty a grandma who's sure you're skipping protein. They know the same things and differ in how they say them. You can switch in Settings → AI Coach.

Only what you allow. Before you start, the app shows what your coach can see, all switched on, and you can switch any of it off then or later. It gets your messages and recent chat, the photos and recordings you add, and those parts of your diary, which can include health data, when you use it and for its reactions and weekly reviews. Progress photos are never sent.

No. The AI providers we use don't keep your requests and never train on them.

Premium includes a weekly AI allowance, which starts over every Monday. Settings → AI Coach shows when it resets. If you use your own OpenRouter key instead, there's no allowance and OpenRouter bills you.

No. Your diary lives on your phone, and your backups are end-to-end encrypted before they leave it: we store them, but we can't open them. Only what you choose to send, like a public link or a message to your coach, can be read on its way.

With Premium, your diary backs up on its own from your first entry, end-to-end encrypted, and syncs between your devices. Restoring a backup is free. You can turn backups off or delete them in Settings → Backups.

While you still have one of your devices, you can see it or change it in Settings → Backups. If you lose all your devices and the password, nobody can open the backup, including us, so keep it somewhere safe.

Settings → Local Data → Export diary saves everything as a .eatnlift file. Keep it anywhere, and bring it back later with Import diary. The file isn't encrypted, so keep it safe.

Settings → Profile → Delete account. Your backups, links and friends go with it, and your diary stays on your phone. You can also email us at [email protected]. Deleting your account doesn't cancel Premium.

Send a friend a private link. Once they accept, you see each other's streaks and the days you choose to share. Private links are end-to-end encrypted, and Friends is free.

A page anyone with the link can open, such as eatnlift.com/u/your-handle, with your streak and what you choose to share. It isn't encrypted. Stop it at any time and it's gone.

Yes. Send a share card, a picture of your meal, day or workout, anywhere you like, for free. With Premium, you can also send a link that adds a copy of a meal, a day, a workout, a recipe or a plan to someone else's Eat & Lift. Anyone with the link can open it, without an account.

The AI coach, with seven to pick from, and what's built on it: meal and label scanning, Quick Add by voice or text, plans and weekly reviews. Plus encrypted backups and sync, share links, and time savers like copying a whole day.

In your App Store or Google Play subscriptions, at any time. Premium keeps working until the end of the period you paid for, and your diary stays as it is.

Make sure you're signed in to the same Apple or Google account you bought it with, then tap Settings → Restore Purchases.
