Your data stays yours

100% private

Ration has no account, no database and no tracker. Your meals, workouts, weight and notes are stored only on your device. Nothing is ever sent to the Ration team, so we could not read your data even if we wanted to.

• Stored only on your device
• The Ration team sees nothing
• Exactly what leaves your device
• Synced with your own Google Drive, if you want
• One file, one tap
• Yours to take away

The encrypted relay

To make a change reach your other devices in under a second, Ration passes it through a small relay (Cloudflare). It is encrypted on your device (AES-256) with a key that never leaves your devices: the relay sees only unreadable messages and keeps none of them. Google Drive remains your copy; without the relay, everything works as before.

Friends, shared lists, live location

What you choose to show a friend, a shared list or your live location during an outing is encrypted on your device before it reaches the relay: only the friend (or whoever has the link) can read it. You choose, friend by friend, what they see; your cycle, notes, Workspace and lab results are never shared. A live location only keeps “finished” once your outing ends, and anything not updated for 120 days is deleted.

Weather, maps, voice

The weather of an outing is requested from the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (MET Norway) through the relay, with your location rounded to about 1 km. Offline maps ask OpenStreetMap’s Overpass service for an area, never your track. Voice commands and dictated notes use your phone’s own speech recognition, which may go through Apple’s or Google’s servers; Ration keeps no sound except the voice notes you record, stored on your device.

Notifications

If you turn them on, your phone gets an address from its own notification service (Apple, Google or Mozilla), which Ration’s relay keeps with your phone’s language and the types you chose. A notification only says what kind it is (a kudos, a reminder…): it is encrypted for your phone, which writes the text. For reminders, the relay only knows the time and the type, never which supplement or what the meal contains. Turning them off removes the address.

The leaderboard and Ration AntiCheat

Joining is optional. The relay then keeps your username, your look, your club, your ranked XP and your likes, and for each session, outing, day of meals or weigh-in: its type, date, duration, distance and number of sets, so it can check that the XP is plausible. Never a meal, a weight, a photo or your cycle. To slow down accounts created in series, it keeps a one-day fingerprint of the connection, never the IP address. Leaving the leaderboard erases all of it.

Clubs, programs, the coach link, the planned return

A club’s wall and outings, a program sent by link and the link for your coach are encrypted on your device with a key that is in the link (or that only members have): the relay can’t read them. The coach link expires on the date you choose, and you can remove it at any time. For a planned return, your phone seals an alert for your friends that the relay can’t read and only hands over if you don’t confirm your return in time; it is erased as soon as you confirm.

RationFood AI and RationSport AI online

Only when you analyse a meal or a photo, search for a food or ask a question. The text (or the scaled-down photo) goes through Ration’s relay to a free AI service (Groq, Mistral or Cloudflare), without your name, account or log (for portions that fit you, only your calorie target, rounded); photos are never kept, and a food search already made by someone is answered from the relay’s shared cache. These free services may use the text to improve their models: don’t write anything personal. Offline, everything happens on your device.
