This page contains concise product and Help information used by NourishBot to answer questions about NourishNot. It is a retrieval source, not a substitute for professional care or the full Help Centre.
NourishNot is a craving- and hunger-awareness app. It helps users pause before eating, record relevant context, and notice recurring patterns involving mood, sleep, habits, time, and environment. Its purpose is awareness rather than judgment.
Learn more: Getting Started
The Apple Test asks, “Would I eat an apple right now?” It is a reflection prompt that may help someone pause and consider whether physical hunger is part of an urge. It is not a medical or diagnostic test. Yes and No are not good or bad answers.
Learn more: The Apple Test
Yes means the simple test food feels appealing. That may be a sign of physical hunger, but it does not prove physiological hunger or determine what the user should do next.
No means the simple test food does not appeal in that moment. A specific craving, emotion, tiredness, routine, comfort, or surroundings may be influencing the urge. No does not mean the user cannot or should not eat.
NourishNot intentionally allows one Yes check-in per hour to keep the history meaningful. If Yes was recorded too recently, the app shows approximately how long remains. No is still available during the cooldown.

No. Basic NourishNot use is available anonymously without a traditional login. Connecting a Google account for history protection is optional.
Open Account and choose the Google history-protection option. Select the Google identity you want to use. Google verifies the connection; NourishNot manages the protected NourishNot history.
Learn more: Protecting Your History
Protect history before losing access to the old installation. On the new phone, install NourishNot, open Account, select the same Google identity, and follow any restore confirmation. Keep a reliable network connection while restoration finishes.
Learn more: Restoring History on Another Device
If protected history exists and the current installation also has activity, NourishNot may show “We found your NourishNot history” and offer a restore choice. A successful restore keeps the protected history and adds appropriate current activity so the histories stay together.
It reconnects the installation to the protected NourishNot history, combines supported current activity where safe, adopts the protected history identity, and records future activity with it. Synchronization may take a short time.
Cancel leaves the current installation’s local history and account state unchanged. The user can return to the restore choice later.
Google helps verify the account connection. NourishNot manages the NourishNot history; Google is not presented as the storage location for that history.
Anonymous history that was never protected may not be recoverable after uninstalling, clearing app storage, resetting the device, or otherwise losing all local installation state.
Protected devices can remain connected separately to the same protected history. Restoration and screen refreshes may take time, so this should not be treated as guaranteed instant live synchronization between devices.
No. Signing out disconnects the protected session on that device. The protected account and history remain saved so the user can sign in again. Data deletion is a separate action.
Open Sleep from Wellness, choose a date in the Sleep Log calendar, adjust Hours and Minutes, select a restfulness rating, and choose Save. Hours move by one and minutes move in 15-minute steps.
Learn more: Logging Sleep
Open Sleep Log and select the saved date. Adjust Hours, Minutes, or the restfulness stars, then choose Save. Cancel leaves it unchanged. Remove deletes the saved entry for that date.
Hours change by exactly one. Minutes cycle through 00, 15, 30, and 45 with hour rollover. For example, 8h 45m plus 15 minutes becomes 9h 00m. The controls stop at the app’s allowed minimum and maximum.
The one-to-five-star control records the user’s own rating of how restful that sleep felt. More filled stars represent a higher self-reported restfulness rating. Tapping the selected star again can clear the rating before saving.
No. Sleep is entered manually. NourishNot does not currently integrate with Health Connect or automatically read sleep from a wearable.
Supported protected history includes Sleep. Some older history may be reconstructed from daily summaries, so useful totals may return even when every original event detail is unavailable.
Daily Mood records an overall view of how a particular day felt. It can contribute to Reports and pattern summaries.
Learn more: Logging Daily Mood
An emotion selected after No describes that specific urge or moment. Daily Mood describes the day overall. The two can be different and neither automatically explains the other.
Open Mood Log and select the historical date. The mood saved for that date is shown with a visible checkmark, not color alone.
Yes. Select the date and choose a different mood to save it for that date. An existing date also offers Remove Entry.
AI Coach is an in-app feature that generates calm prompts for reflection about cravings, habits, patterns, or difficult moments. Its responses can be incomplete or mistaken.
Learn more: AI Coach
It can help a user slow down, explore possible influences around an urge, reflect on recurring habits or patterns, and consider what they might try next.
AI Coach is not a doctor, dietitian, therapist, crisis service, or emergency service. It does not diagnose conditions or replace professional care.
A network or service failure may prevent a response. Check the connection and use Try Again, Retry, or the resend action if shown. The original message can be retried without retyping, but retrying may still fail while the service is unavailable.
During AI Coach conversation, the Coach may recognize a pause, insight, or intentional reflection as a Mindful Moment. The user can view its explanation or dismiss it. Recognition is AI-generated and is not a clinical assessment.
Learn more: AI Coach
A Mindful Day begins with at least one meaningful recorded check-in and no recorded non-hunger eating urge for that day. A day with no recorded data is not automatically counted.
Learn more: Frequently Asked Questions
Reports summarize recorded check-ins and available information such as hunger responses, urges or emotions, sleep, Daily Mood, Water Breaks, and context. They show observations and possible patterns, not causation or diagnosis.
Learn more: Understanding Reports
Reports depend on what was recorded in the selected period. Missing dates or inputs produce partial history, and a blank day does not necessarily mean nothing happened.
Some older history may be rebuilt from daily summaries. Useful totals can be restored even when exact event time, individual context, or precise historical location is unavailable. This can make older hourly, weekday, time-band, or location views less detailed.
No. NourishNot’s core features work without location.
Learn more: Location Sharing
Turn on Location Sharing in NourishNot Settings and allow Android location permission. Both controls must allow access before NourishNot can use device location. Android may offer approximate or precise permission.
Turning the in-app setting off stops new approved location operations. It does not automatically delete location information already saved or included in older history; deletion is a separate action.
No. Android may provide approximate or precise location depending on the permission chosen, and NourishNot uses the device’s available location only when its own Location Sharing setting is on. The app may attach that context to new urge activity or use it to set a current Home Location.
A Water Break is a user-recorded pause represented as a glass of water. Logging it records one event for the current local date; it does not measure water automatically.
Each successful tap records one Water Break event and increases that day’s count by one. The confirmation shows the daily glass count. If online updating fails after the local save, the app says it was saved on the device but could not update the online record.
Awards recognize supported milestones and recorded activity in NourishNot. Availability can vary by award category, PRO access, and app version.
Yes. Restored history can cause previously earned Awards to reappear or refresh while NourishNot reconciles supported historical activity.
Learn more: Troubleshooting
Confirm Reminders are enabled in NourishNot Settings, Android notifications are allowed, and the Reminders notification channel is not blocked. On supported Android versions, normal reminders also require exact-alarm capability when prompted. After a restart, time-zone change, or app update, open NourishNot and review reminder status if needed.
A Sleep reminder can be snoozed for one hour up to the available retry limit. A device restart does not preserve a temporary snooze, although enabled reminders are reconciled after supported device lifecycle changes.

No. NourishNot states that app Usage Analytics is not sold or used for advertising or targeting, and the Privacy Policy does not describe selling personal information.
No. NourishNot does not show advertising.
Basic anonymous app use does not require a traditional NourishNot account or manually providing a name or email. Optional Google history protection uses the selected Google identity to verify the protected connection. Contact and waitlist forms request information only when the user chooses to submit them.
Google Analytics is used on NourishNot websites to understand page visits, referrals, device and browser information, approximate geographic information derived from IP address, and general site performance. This website analytics is separate from the app’s optional Usage Analytics setting.
No. The app Usage Analytics preference and website Google Analytics are separate controls. Changing the in-app preference does not change analytics behavior in a web browser.

NourishNot includes core features that can be used without a paid subscription. PRO is optional and is intended to add premium features.
Yes. You can use NourishNot's core check-ins and basic tracking without paying for PRO. Some beta or development versions may also provide temporary access to additional features.
Learn more: Frequently Asked Questions
No. A paid subscription is not required for basic NourishNot use. NourishNot PRO is optional and adds additional features; availability may depend on the version of NourishNot you are using.
No. You can continue using core NourishNot features without PRO. PRO is for additional premium tools and does not replace the free core experience.
Learn more: Frequently Asked Questions
NourishNot PRO is the optional premium area for additional coaching, analysis, reflection, and reporting tools. The current catalog presents AI Coach, Predictive Insights, Mindful Moments, Weekly Pattern Reports, Sleep Integration Analysis, and PRO Awards. Data Export is shown as Coming Soon. Feature availability may depend on the app version.
Learn more: Frequently Asked Questions
Free core use includes the main hunger and craving check-ins and basic tracking. Core wellness inputs such as manual Sleep entries and Daily Mood can also be recorded without a PRO subscription. The exact screens available may vary as NourishNot develops.
The current app presents AI Coach, Predictive Insights, Mindful Moments, Weekly Pattern Reports, Sleep Integration Analysis, and PRO Awards as PRO features. Data Export is listed for PRO but is still marked Coming Soon. Some development or beta versions may allow temporary access without a paid subscription, and not every catalog feature should be treated as commercially available.
Learn more: Frequently Asked Questions
AI Coach is presented as a NourishNot PRO feature rather than part of the free core experience. It may be available without payment in some beta or development versions, but that temporary access does not mean AI Coach will always be free.

NourishNot PRO subscriptions are not yet generally available through a live production purchase flow. A development or beta build may show PRO features or temporary access, but that does not mean a public subscription can currently be purchased.
Core NourishNot features can be used without a paid subscription. Final PRO pricing has not been published. When PRO subscriptions become available, current pricing will be shown in NourishNot and through Google Play.
Yes. You can use NourishNot's core check-ins and basic tracking without paying. Choosing not to pay for PRO does not prevent basic use.
Live production PRO subscriptions are not currently available, so this version does not provide a live NourishNot PRO subscription to cancel. When subscriptions launch, the current cancellation terms and controls will be shown in NourishNot and through Google Play.
You can keep using NourishNot's free core features. PRO-only features may remain unavailable unless your version includes temporary beta or development access, but your basic NourishNot use does not require a paid subscription.
No—not as an early troubleshooting step. Uninstalling, clearing storage, or clearing app data can remove local app state, especially history that was never protected. Check the relevant Help steps first and protect history before changing devices when possible.
Learn more: Troubleshooting and Restoring History
Check the network connection, confirm the same Google identity was used for protected history, and allow restoration to finish. If a completed restore has not refreshed a screen, close and reopen NourishNot once. Do not clear app data while investigating.
Check the connection and use the retry or resend action if shown. If the service remains unavailable, wait and try later.
Confirm the NourishNot Location Sharing switch is on and Android location permission is allowed. Both layers are required. Core features continue to work without location.
Open Sleep Log, select the date, adjust Hours, Minutes, and restfulness, then choose Save. Use Remove only if the entry should be deleted.
Open Mood Log, select the date, confirm the current checkmarked mood, and choose the correct mood. Daily Mood is separate from an emotion recorded after No.
Confirm the expected dates and inputs were recorded and the intended period is selected. Restored older history may use summarized information without every exact event detail.
Some local logging may remain available offline, but AI Coach, history protection, account validation, restoration, and server synchronization require connectivity. Retry after the connection is stable.
On the new phone, use the same Google identity that protected the history and follow the restore prompt. Unprotected anonymous history may not be recoverable after the original local state is lost.
Cravings can be influenced by stress, boredom, habit, sleep, food cues, routines, and other context even when physical hunger is not obvious. Hunger and cravings can also overlap.
