Eating Disorder Tracker - Nova

Nova is a gentle, private companion for eating disorder recovery and emotional wellbeing — built for people who want a softer way to track meals, mood, and the weather of the mind. No calories. No weigh-ins. No before-and-afters. Just kindness, presence, and tools that meet you where you are.

Whether you are in active recovery, exploring patterns, supporting a loved one, or working with a clinician, Nova was designed to feel like a thoughtful friend in your pocket — not another nagging tracker.

✨ WHY NOVA IS DIFFERENT
• Health at Every Size and intuitive-eating informed
• No calorie counting and no body-weight tracking
• Trauma-informed onboarding — go at your own pace
• Everything is stored privately on your device
• No accounts, no ads, no data shared with anyone

🍽️ MINDFUL MEAL LOGGING
Capture meals and snacks with a single photo, pick a feeling, and notice your hunger and fullness on a kind 1–10 scale. The optional reflection prompts help you connect food with emotion without ever turning eating into a math test.

🌙 MOOD CHECK-INS
Tap one of five soft emojis to capture how you feel, then optionally add notes on energy, anxiety, body image, and what is in the air today. Patterns appear in your Insights tab over time so you can read your inner weather.

✍️ TRAUMA-INFORMED JOURNAL
Daily morning and evening prompts help you reflect when the page feels too blank. Tag entries with what is on your mind — work, body image, family, sleep — and revisit them later. Your journal is yours; nothing leaves the device.

🌊 URGE SURFING & COPING TOOLS
When the wave of an urge to restrict, binge, purge, or self-criticise rises, Nova helps you ride it: a guided urge-surfing timer, 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, paced breathing (Box, 4-7-8, Paced), and a Self-Compassion Break based on Kristin Neff’s practice.

💧 HYDRATION & GENTLE HABITS
Sip-sized hydration tracking, customisable daily habits with gentle streaks, and recovery goals broken into kind milestones. None of it shouts. None of it shames.

📚 LIBRARY & AFFIRMATIONS
Read short, evidence-informed articles on topics like body image, intuitive eating, perfectionism, self-compassion, and shame. A swipeable affirmation deck delivers a kind sentence whenever you need one.

🛡️ COPING PLAN & CRISIS HELP
Build your own Stanley-Brown style safety plan: warning signs, internal strategies, distractions, support people, professional contacts, and reasons to live. Crisis helplines for many countries are always one tap away.

🫶 SUPPORT TEAM
Save the people who help you — a friend, a therapist, a sibling, a sponsor — with notes for each. Tap to call when you need them most.

📊 INSIGHTS YOU CAN ACTUALLY READ
Soft charts that highlight presence, not performance: how often you logged a meal, your mood patterns, your hydration trend, your gratitude streak. No goals weaponised against you.

🌿 PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN
Nova never sends your data anywhere. There is no account to create, no cloud sync, no analytics on your inner life. If you uninstall the app, the data goes with it.

⚠️ A KIND DISCLAIMER
Nova is a self-help companion, not a substitute for professional treatment. If you are struggling with an eating disorder, please reach out to a qualified clinician. Crisis resources are available inside the app.
