Everything your day touches, in one journal

Cendaya is a private, holistic life tracker: mood, journal, meals and health vitals in one place, written into a short story each night. Here’s what that means in practice.

AI meal analysis

Snap your plate — Cendaya knows it's laksa

Photograph your meal and AI estimates calories, protein, fat and carbs in seconds. The recognition is tuned for Southeast Asian food specifically — nasi lemak, laksa, pho, adobo, som tam, rendang, char kway teow — with hawker-portion calibration instead of Western serving-size guesses.

Every item can carry an optional halal flag, and you can tap any analysis to correct it. Estimates stay honest: they're there to help you notice patterns, never to judge a single plate.

  • Calories, protein, fat and carbs from one photo
  • Hawker-portion calibration, not Western defaults
  • Optional halal flag per item
  • Tap to correct — your log stays yours

The nightly story

Wake up to your story

This is the heart of Cendaya. Every night, AI reads your day — what you ate, how you moved, how you slept, how you felt — and writes it into a short, warm journal entry in your own language. Not a report. A story.

It's waiting for you in the morning: a gentle check-in over coffee before the day begins. Written for you, from your day.

You gave today more than you noticed. The laksa was worth it, the afternoon slump passed, and that late walk quietly set you up for a better night.

Health vitals

Your body's numbers, no manual logging

Cendaya reads sleep, heart rate, steps, workouts and energy burn from Apple Health on iOS — and Health Connect on Android next. Vitals sync quietly in the background and flow straight into your story and your energy balance.

You never type a step count. The numbers are context for your story, not homework.

  • Sleep, heart rate, steps, workouts, energy burn
  • Apple Health today, Health Connect next
  • Synced automatically, woven into your story

Mood & journal

Your story starts with one line

A gentle daily check-in — how are you feeling right now? — takes two taps. Add a line of journal when you feel like it; skip it when you don't. There are no streaks to break and no guilt waiting on quiet days.

Whatever you give it, the nightly story weaves in. One honest line is plenty.

Energy balance

Intake vs burn, at a glance

Meals on one side, movement and resting burn on the other. Cendaya's energy-balance view shows how your days actually add up — what fuelled a good afternoon, what a long walk quietly did for the evening.

It's a glance, not a spreadsheet. The goal is a feel for your rhythm, not an accounting exercise.

Routines & observances

Reminders that celebrate, never nag

Supplements anchored to real meals — a "with food" reminder is confirmed the moment you save lunch, not at an arbitrary clock time. Movement routines complete themselves from your day's workouts. Done is noticed and celebrated.

Observances are handled with quiet care: mark Ramadan fasting or vegetarian days (lunar 1st & 15th, Lent) and Cendaya adapts — meal chips become suhoor and iftar, reminders move to your eating window, and nothing prompts you to eat while the sun is up. You opt into practices, never a religion label, and the AI only ever sees "user is fasting today".

  • Supplement reminders confirmed at meal-save
  • Movement that counts itself done from workouts
  • Ramadan fasting, vegetarian days and Lent, computed on-device
  • Practice-level opt-in — never a religion label

Private by design

Your life stays on your device

Your journal, meals, moods and vitals live in a local database on your phone — local-first, not cloud-first. Lock the app with Face ID or fingerprint. Export everything as JSON whenever you like, or delete it all in a single tap.

AI requests are proxied so no API keys or identities travel with your data, and regional data residency (Singapore hub, in-country options) keeps data close to home under a consent model built for local privacy laws.
