Hangry Timer User Manual

This manual covers the English interface of Hangry Timer 1.0 for iPhone and Apple Watch.

Quick start

1. On first launch, tap Continue and choose a diet plan.
2. Read the safety guidance, then tap Start Hangry Timer.
3. Open Today and tap Start Timer.
4. Follow the time remaining and target end time. Log water, protein, and meals when needed.
5. When you are ready to eat, or if you feel unwell, tap End Timer.
6. With Pro, review your rhythm in History and Challenges.

Stop your diet plan regardless of the target if you feel dizzy or faint or experience severe shaking, cold sweats, confusion, persistent pain, or vomiting. Seek appropriate help when needed.

Navigation

• Today — Start and end the diet timer, follow its progress, and log water, protein, and meals. Hangry Vault and the ten-minute Pause require Pro.
• History · Pro — See your streak, completed sessions, seven-day chart, calendar, and recent sessions.
• Challenges · Pro — Review your plan, weekly challenges, trophies, and Breather.
• Settings — Change the plan, notification preference, safety and data information, or erase all data. The Late-Night Snack Budget and Siri controls require Pro.

1. First-time setup

Choose a diet plan

You can change the plan later at Settings → My Plan → Diet Plan. A new selection applies to the next session. It does not change the target end time of a timer already in progress.

Set the Late-Night Snack Budget · Pro

After activating Pro, open Settings → My Plan → Late-Night Snack Budget. Choose your typical daily late-night snack budget from ₩0 to ₩50,000 in ₩1,000 steps. Hangry Vault uses this amount only to calculate a motivational savings estimate. No purchase, transfer, or real saving takes place. Onboarding does not ask for this amount; the app starts with a ₩12,000 default that you can change here.

Notifications

The app may request notification permission after onboarding. If allowed, it can schedule local notifications at the 4-, 8-, 12-, and 16-hour progress milestones that fall before your selected target, plus the target end time. Denying permission does not prevent you from using the timer or logs.

2. Start and end the diet timer

Start

1. Open Today.
2. Confirm the plan shown on the timer card.
3. Tap Start Timer.

The target end time is calculated from the moment you start. The timer shows:

• Active plan
• Time remaining in hours, minutes, and seconds
• Circular progress
• Current progress guidance
• Target end time

The recorded start and target end times remain in place when the app is closed or the iPhone screen is off. The timer catches up to the actual elapsed time when you return.

End

1. Tap End Timer on the active timer.
2. Confirm by tapping End Timer again.

A session ended early remains in History with its actual elapsed time, but only sessions that reach the target count as completed sessions and toward the completion streak. End the timer whenever your body tells you to do so.

The app does not automatically close a session at the target time. It displays Goal Reached until you end the timer, so the record reflects when you actually finished.

3. Progress guidance

The active diet timer uses these elapsed-time bands:

These labels simply divide elapsed time into easy-to-read ranges. The app does not measure glucose, metabolism, fat use, or any other biological value.

4. Log water, protein, and meals

The Today’s Log area contains Water, Protein, and Food. Tap any tile to open Quick Log; you can switch the log type at the top.

Water

Tap Water, then choose 250 mL, 350 mL, 500 mL, or 750 mL. The amount is immediately added to today’s total.

If you added the wrong amount, use Edit Today’s Total on the same screen and tap Save Total.

Protein

Tap Protein, use the stepper to choose 5 g to 200 g in 5 g steps, then tap Log.

If you added the wrong amount, use Edit Today’s Total and tap Save Total. Protein stored in a food entry remains included; open that food entry to correct its protein value.

Food

Tap Food, enter the food name, and choose Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snack, or Other. Check the time, then optionally add a serving description, calories, carbohydrates, protein, fat, and a note. Leave any nutrition value blank when you do not know it, then tap Log Food.

Saved items appear under What You Ate Today, sorted by time. Tap an item or its More menu to edit every field or delete that item. With Pro, you can also open, edit, or delete older items under History → Daily Log. Protein entered with food contributes to today’s protein total. A new daily log starts when the calendar day changes; use Erase All Data only when you intend to reset the entire app.

5. Take a ten-minute Pause · Pro

An active diet timer shows Take a 10-Minute Pause inside Today’s Coach. Without Pro, the button opens the Pro screen.

1. Open the button and tap Take a 10-Minute Pause.
2. If appropriate, tap Log 250 mL Water to log a glass of water.
3. Notice how you feel while the timer runs.
4. Tap Completed to continue, or End Timer to end the timer.

You do not need to complete ten minutes if you feel unwell. Stop immediately when needed.

6. Understand Hangry Vault · Pro

The Vault shows an estimate for the active timer and a cumulative estimate from ended sessions.

• While the timer is active, the amount is the Late-Night Snack Budget multiplied by current progress.
• When a session ends, its progress-based amount contributes to the cumulative estimate.
• One session is capped at 100% of its target for this calculation.
• With no active session, the card tells you that the next session can add to the Vault.

For example, a ₩12,000 budget at 50% progress displays an estimate of about ₩6,000. This is a habit indicator, not an account balance, spending record, or financial service.

Change the budget under Settings → My Plan → Late-Night Snack Budget.

7. Read History · Pro

Overview

• Streak — Your current rhythm based on completed targets and eligible Breathers.
• Completed — The number of sessions that reached their target.
• Vault — The cumulative savings estimate from ended sessions.

Seven-day chart

The bar chart shows actual recorded hours for each of the last seven days. A bar is accented when it reaches the duration of your selected plan.

Consistency calendar

• Green check — Target completed
• Blue moon — Breather
• Empty circle — No qualifying record

Daily Log

Recent logs are grouped by date with the food count, daily water and protein totals, and any entered calories. Days with only water or protein are included. Tap a food item or open its More menu to edit the name, meal type, time, serving, nutrition values, and note, or to delete that item.

Session history

The ten most recent sessions show the start date, start and end times, and actual duration. A green check circle marks a completed target; a gray dashed circle marks an early end. Individual sessions cannot be edited or deleted in version 1.0.

8. Challenges, trophies, and Breather · Pro

Challenges

Trophies

• First Start — One active or ended timer session
• 3-Day Streak — A streak of at least three days
• ₩50K in the Vault — A cumulative estimate of at least ₩50,000

Trophies unlock automatically when their conditions are met.

Breather

A Breather is for a planned break due to travel, a social meal, or how you feel.

1. Make sure the diet timer is not active.
2. Open Challenges and tap Take Today Off.
3. Confirm with Take Today Off.

You can use one Breather per calendar week. It cannot be undone. It does not add a completed session or timer duration, but it can protect the continuity of your streak.

9. Widgets, Live Activities, Dynamic Island, and Apple Watch · Pro

These system extensions require Hangry Timer Pro. Without Pro, widgets and the Apple Watch companion show an option to open or activate Pro instead of timer details.

Home Screen widgets

Touch and hold an empty area of the Home Screen, choose Edit → Add Widget, search for Hangry Timer, then add a small or medium widget.

Lock Screen widgets

Touch and hold the Lock Screen, choose Customize, open the widget area, and add the circular or rectangular Hangry Timer widget.

The widget shows timer status and remaining time. iOS controls widget refresh timing, so a newly started or stopped state can take a moment to appear. Open the app once and wait briefly if the widget looks stale.

Live Activities and Dynamic Island

With Pro active, starting the diet timer automatically starts a Live Activity when supported by the device and system settings. It appears on the Lock Screen and in Dynamic Island on compatible iPhone models. Ending the timer closes the Live Activity.

If it does not appear, check iPhone Settings → Hangry Timer → Live Activities, confirm the timer is active, and try starting a new session.

Apple Watch companion

With Pro active on the paired iPhone, the Apple Watch companion shows the current plan, remaining time, streak, and estimated Vault amount. It can send Start Timer or End commands when the iPhone is reachable. If the Watch shows the Pro screen or does not update, open Hangry Timer on the paired iPhone once and keep the devices nearby.

10. Siri and Shortcuts · Pro

The app provides Start Timer and End Timer actions with Pro. Open the Shortcuts area in Settings or Apple’s Shortcuts app to find them.

Example English phrases include:

• “Start a diet timer with Hangry Timer”
• “Start the timer with Hangry Timer”
• “End the diet timer in Hangry Timer”
• “Stop the timer in Hangry Timer”

Available phrases can vary with the system language and app display name. The action may open Hangry Timer to complete the command. If Siri cannot find it, launch the app once and check App Shortcuts in the Shortcuts app.

11. Settings

• Diet Plan — Choose one of the four plans for future sessions.
• Late-Night Snack Budget · Pro — Set the amount used by Hangry Vault.
• Diet Timer Reminders — Enable or disable progress-milestone and target-end notifications.
• Live Activity & Siri · Pro — Open the Pro screen when Pro is not active; after activation, Settings shows the automatic system status and the Shortcuts link.
• Safety Guide — Review stop signals and cases that require professional advice.
• Data Use — Review local storage and privacy behavior.
• Share App — Open the iOS share sheet.
• Version — Check the installed version.

If the app notification toggle is on but alerts do not arrive, also check iPhone Settings → Notifications → Hangry Timer, notification sounds, Focus modes, and Scheduled Summary. Turning the in-app toggle off and on again checks permission and reschedules the remaining reminders for an active session.

12. Free features and Hangry Timer Pro

These features are free:

• 12:12, 14:10, 16:8, and 18:6 diet plans and timer
• Local reminders at applicable 4-, 8-, 12-, and 16-hour milestones and at the target time
• Daily water, protein, and meal logs
• Safety guidance and basic settings

One purchase of Hangry Timer Pro Lifetime unlocks:

• History, the seven-day chart, and calendar
• Weekly challenges, trophies, and Breather
• Ten-minute Pause
• Hangry Vault
• Home and Lock Screen widgets
• Live Activities and Dynamic Island
• Siri and Shortcuts
• Apple Watch companion app

Open the purchase screen from a locked feature in History or Challenges, or from Settings → Hangry Timer Pro. The App Store shows your actual local price before purchase. Hangry Timer Pro is a non-consumable purchase with no automatic renewal; it is not a monthly or annual subscription.

After reinstalling with the same Apple Account, or when using an eligible Family Sharing purchase, tap Settings → Hangry Timer Pro → Restore Purchase. Restoration may require an App Store connection. Erase All Data removes diet records and settings, but does not cancel an App Store purchase entitlement.

13. Data storage and deletion

Timer sessions, daily water, protein and meal records, plan, Vault budget, and Breathers are stored on the iPhone. Hangry Timer uses no account, ads, behavioral tracking, developer data server, or multi-device cloud synchronization.

An app-only shared storage area lets widgets and Live Activities show the same status. Siri actions and notifications use Apple system services. When the Watch companion is installed and Pro is active, Apple’s WatchConnectivity service sends the current timer state, plan duration, streak, estimated Vault amount, and Pro status between the paired devices. It does not send meal, water, or protein history to the Watch or to HomiSoft.

To erase everything:

1. Open Settings.
2. Tap Erase All Data.
3. Confirm with Erase.

Diet timer, meal, water, protein, Vault, Breather, and settings data are removed from this device and cannot be recovered. Deleting the app also removes its locally stored app data.

14. Troubleshooting

The timer is different from what I expected

• Turn on Settings → General → Date & Time → Set Automatically.
• Manually changing the device time or time zone can affect target-time calculations.
• Changing the plan does not modify a session already in progress.

Notifications do not arrive

• Check the notification toggle inside Hangry Timer.
• Allow Hangry Timer notifications in iPhone Settings.
• Check Focus, Scheduled Summary, and sound settings.
• Turn the in-app notification toggle off and on to reschedule the remaining reminders. A progress milestone that has already passed will not alert again, so confirm it with the next session if needed.

A widget shows an old state

• Confirm that Hangry Timer Pro is active.
• Open Hangry Timer and confirm the current state.
• Wait briefly, or remove and add the widget again.
• If it continues after restarting the iPhone, contact support with the app and iOS versions.

Siri cannot find the action

• Confirm that Hangry Timer Pro is active.
• Launch Hangry Timer once.
• Check Hangry Timer under App Shortcuts in the Shortcuts app.
• Include the app name in the request.

I added the wrong log

For food, open the item under Today → What You Ate Today, or use its More menu, to edit or delete it. With Pro, older items are also editable under History → Daily Log. Correct today’s water or protein total under Quick Log → Edit Today’s Total. Completed diet sessions cannot be edited or deleted individually. Erase All Data permanently removes the entire history and should not be used to correct one item.

A Pro purchase or restoration does not complete

• Check the internet connection and App Store sign-in.
• Confirm that the Apple Account in the purchase sheet is the one used for the earlier purchase.
• Try Settings → Hangry Timer Pro → Restore Purchase again.
• If approval succeeded but the status is delayed, quit and reopen the app.
• If it looks as though you may be charged again, do not repeat the purchase before trying Restore Purchase.

15. Safety

Stop your diet plan immediately if you feel dizzy or faint or experience severe shaking, cold sweats, confusion, persistent pain, or vomiting.

Consult a qualified healthcare professional before beginning a timed diet plan if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, are an adolescent, have a history of an eating disorder, have diabetes or kidney or liver disease, or take medication that must be taken with food.

Progress guidance, coaching, challenges, and savings estimates are general habit information. They do not replace diagnosis, treatment, medical monitoring, or personalized nutrition advice.
