How it works
You record a little as the day goes. Verlow keeps it in one place and gives it back at the end of the week in sentences. That record is useful today, and it is the context the AI companion will build on.
A day
What you did
Open a gym or calisthenics day and last time’s sets are already there, so a set you repeated needs no typing. A run, ride, swim, walk, class, pilates or yoga session takes a time, and if you like a distance and how hard it felt.
A few words
Type what you ate and save. Add a photo if that is quicker. Meals you eat often come back as one tap.
How you are
Three short questions, and three more if you want them. Answer none of it and the day still stands as a record of what you ate and did.
Your week
A written account of what you recorded, what changed since last week, and which days have nothing in them.
Training
Strength sessions keep every detail. Everything else is quick.
Gym and calisthenics
- Gym days: push, pull and legs. Calisthenics days: push, pull and full body.
- Reps and kilograms per set, timed holds in seconds, and practice time for skill work.
- Last session’s sets filled in, with a line showing what you did last time.
- Warm-up and cool-down lists for each day.
- Add exercises from a pool with photos, or create your own with a cue.
- A note on any exercise.
- Close the app mid-session and it is still there when you come back.
Everything else
- Runs, rides, swims and walks: time, distance and effort.
- Pilates, yoga and classes: time and effort. Name the class whatever your gym calls it.
- Anything else, with a name you choose.
- Log it for today or yesterday.
- The last two weeks of training on one screen.
From your watch
If your watch syncs to Intervals.icu, completed runs, rides and swims can come into Verlow on their own, marked as from your watch. Verlow can read them and nothing else. When one lands on the same day as a session you logged by hand, it is marked as possibly the same session rather than hidden.
Connecting a watch is being switched on for new testers.
What it does not do
There is no training plan, no calendar and no coach. Gym and calisthenics days come with a standard list of exercises and suggested sets and reps, which you can change. Verlow records what you did; it does not tell you what to do next.
Food
- A few words, a photo, or both. “Eggs on toast, flat white” is a complete entry.
- Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack or drink, picked for the time of day and easy to change.
- Recent meals come back as one tap.
- Delete a meal and its photo goes with it.
- Photos are private to you.
There are no calorie or macro fields, no targets, no barcode scanning and nothing to weigh. If you need macro targets, Verlow is not the right tool yet.
How you feel
One short check-in a day, on the Today screen. Every question is optional, and you can change your answers any time that day.

- Low
- OK

There is room for a note too. A question you skip is recorded as unanswered, not as a middle score.
Your gut, if you want it
Beside your food there is an optional place to note a bowel movement: how it was (fine, a bit off, rough), whether it was harder or looser than usual, and a note. It is never part of the check-in and never required. It sits next to food because that is where people most often want to look.
From your phone
On Android, Verlow can read your daily step totals and how long you slept from Health Connect, if you allow it. It reads those two things only and never writes back. They are shown as your phone’s measurements, never as your own answers, and a day without them is left blank rather than counted as zero.
Your week
Every Monday to Sunday is written up from what you recorded. You can page back through earlier weeks.
What it includes
- Your training records, the kinds of training, and the time trained where a time was recorded.
- How many days have food logged.
- How you felt and how your gut was on average, with the number and how many days it is based on.
- Bowel observations, if you made any.
- Your phone’s steps and sleep, if you allowed them.
- What is missing: days without food, days without a check-in, weeks without phone measurements.
The rules it is written by
- It compares with last week only when both weeks have enough recorded: at least three check-ins, two training records, four days of phone measurements, or three days of food, depending on what is compared.
- Logging food on fewer days is described as logging less, never as eating less.
- A day with nothing recorded is described as unknown.
- It gives no score, no cause and no advice.
Today, the weekly account is worked out by fixed rules in the app, the same way every time. The companion is the next stage: connected health, memory, contextual questions and careful interpretation, with the gaps and uncertainty left visible.
The rules it follows
It does not guess
Verlow will not tell you that dairy upset you, or that a bad night explains a heavy session. A few weeks of self-logging cannot support a claim like that, so it is not made.
It separates what you said from what was measured
Steps and sleep from your phone are labelled as measurements. How you felt is your answer. The two are never averaged into one number.
It shows its gaps
Every weekly account ends with what is missing. Three logged days out of seven are described as three logged days, not as a week.
It keeps your drafts
A half-finished session, meal or check-in is saved on your device as you go, so closing the app does not lose what you typed.
Where it runs
One account, two places: an Android app, and the same app in a web browser, which you can install to your home screen. You sign in with a code sent to your email, so there is no password to invent.
The Android app is installed from a link we send to testers. It is not on the Play Store yet.
There is no iPhone app. An iPhone version needs its own health-data integration and real testing on an iPhone, so it waits until the Android app is proven.
Your data
- Export everything you have recorded as one file, from Account, whenever you like.
- Delete your account from Account. It removes your meals and photos, check-ins, bowel observations, training, imported activities, phone measurements and the sign-in itself.
- Meal photos are stored privately and shown only to you.
- Connections to Intervals.icu and Health Connect only read, and you can withdraw them at any time.
- Your records are not sold, and they are not shared with advertisers.
Questions
- Do I have to log everything?
- No. Log what is useful to you. Days you skip are treated as unknown rather than as nothing happening.
- Does it count calories?
- No. Food is a few words or a photo. There are no calorie or macro fields.
- Will it give me a training plan?
- No. It records what you did. Gym and calisthenics days have a standard exercise list you can change, but nothing adapts to you and there is no coach.
- Does it use AI?
- Not in the private beta. Today, the weekly account is worked out by fixed rules and nothing you record is sent to an AI service. The AI companion is the next stage. Before it is switched on, the privacy page will name the service, what is sent and the control you have over it.
- Can it tell me what is upsetting my gut?
- Not today. It can show what you ate, how you trained and how your gut felt on the same days. The companion is being built to interpret more context, but it will not present a possible connection as a proven cause, and it will not diagnose.
- I wear a Garmin. Will my runs come in?
- If your Garmin syncs to Intervals.icu, yes: completed runs, rides and swims. There is no direct Garmin connection. On Android, steps and sleep can come in through Health Connect if your watch writes to it.
