Bloating and Face Puffiness Tracker for iPhone: Find Your Personal Triggers
Step by step
- Check in each morningRate four zones on a five-point scale. Drena turns this into a Morning Score from 0 to 100.
- Tag the evening beforeChoose from salty meal, alcohol, short sleep, sat all day, flight, heat, cycle phase, carb-heavy day, hard workout, stress or crying.
- Wait for enough daysThe trigger map needs 14 days of history and at least eight mornings with and without a trigger.
- Read the mapTriggers are ranked worst-first. An effect under 3 points is shown as no clear effect.
- Run a drainage routine when you need itPick a routine for the occasion: morning, before a flight, cycle days, after a salty day, wind-down or quick fix.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Morning Score measure?
How puffy you woke up, self-reported across four zones. It is daily and not cumulative.
Why five steps instead of a slider?
People cannot honestly resolve more than that about their own face, and a slider would add false precision.
Is this AI?
No. The trigger map is a plain comparison of averages, deliberately, because 20 to 60 self-reported days cannot support a fitted model.
Does it connect to Apple Health?
Read-only, and only for weight and workouts.
Does Drena track bloating from food photos?
No. There is no food scanner and no camera analysis. You tag what happened.
What if my result is unclear?
Drena says so. Small effects are reported as no clear effect.
Is it a medical device?
No. If swelling is sudden, one-sided or painful, see a doctor.
