Non-negotiables in free
Log today. See today. Track weight. Basic macros. No ads. If those are missing, it is not a free tier — it is a demo.
Fair Premium unlocks
Longer history, richer charts, fuller sticker libraries, advanced themes. Pay for craft and depth after the habit proves itself.

Core logging stays free. Premium expands history, charts, and stickers. No ads on either side — by design.
