Lá Nua · a new day

You don't have to lose three stone. You only have to get through today.

Weigh in with your morning coffee. Take note of what you eat and your activity. Try to come in under your number if you can but whether you do or not, at the end of the day let it go — because tomorrow is a new day.

How it works
Three small things, morning to midnight.
01Morning
Step on the scale
Once, before breakfast. Put the number in and walk away. It'll bounce around — water, salt, a bad night's sleep — so don't read anything into one morning. The trend line sorts the noise out for you.
02Through the day
Take note of what you eat
And your activity. This isn't confession, it's just keeping the books. You get a daily number to stay at or under; look your food up, log it, and you always know where you stand. It takes seconds, and it's the habit that does the real work.
03Midnight
Let the day end
Whatever kind of day it was, it ends at midnight. If you've had a bad day, don't sweat it. Tomorrow is always a fresh start.
Ethos

Lá Nua is Irish for a new day — and the app means it literally.

Most of us don't fail at losing weight because we're weak. We fail because the job looks enormous. Months of being good. Years, maybe. And the first bad day feels like proof it was all pointless — you have the takeaway, a voice says well, that's this week ruined, and by Friday you've stopped getting on the scale because you'd rather not know.

Lá Nua is built against that voice. There is no week to ruin. There's no streak to break and no plan you're behind on. There is only today: one weigh-in, an honest note of what you ate and what you moved, and then sleep. Tomorrow the slate is clean — not as a reward, but because that's simply how the app works.

Put enough todays together and the line drifts down. That's the entire method. One day at a time.

Tús maith leath na hoibre.
A good start is half the work — and you get a fresh start every morning.
A note from the maker
"I built this for myself, because it's the only way that has ever worked for me. If it helps you too, it's yours."
Made slowly
What the app asks of you
And what it will never do.

Each day

  • A weigh-in with your morning coffee
  • A note of what you eat, and what you do
  • That's today done. Tomorrow it'll ask again.

Never

  • Nag you with notifications
  • Shame you for yesterday
  • Turn your day into a game
Yours, and only yours
Private by design — not just by promise.

What you log — your weigh-ins, your food, your movement, your journal and your medication — is end-to-end encrypted. It's encrypted on your device, with a key that comes from your password and never leaves you, before it's ever sent to us. We keep only data we can't read. Not us, and not anyone who ever got hold of our servers, can see your record — only you can, on your device. How that works →

The app, in its own words
"Today's done. It was only ever one day. See you in the morning."
That's the strongest language it will ever use with you.
Start tomorrow morning. Or today, if it's early enough.
