What changed.
Newest first. Each entry says whether it has actually reached a tester’s phone — because while Backd has no over-the-air updates, a change in the repository is not a change you have.
Build 3In the repo, not yet on a phone
Fuelling that matches what you actually carry
A week of work on the gap between a number the engine wants and a packet you can physically open.
- Doses are whole servings now. A plan that asked for twenty feeds of 17 g — a third of a gel each time — was the arithmetic running backwards. It searches what you carry instead.
- A drink can close a dose the packets cannot hit. A 45 g dose against sealed 30 g gels used to deliver 30 or 60; it delivers 45.
- A drink is no longer prompted like a feed. You sip a bottle continuously, so being asked to confirm it was always the wrong question.
- Feed rhythm is yours: smaller and more often, or larger and less often, inside the same window and the same hourly target.
- Your sweat rate is now measured per conditions, not once. A cold February measurement was planning a July race.

Charts, and a plan that tells you what it was built for
What the 67-minute run on 16 October exposed, fixed.
- Planned-versus-taken, drawn. The ring row and the intake curve.
- The app says what plan is loaded and what it was built for BEFORE you start. The 16 October run carried a plan built for 45 minutes and ran 67, and nothing said so.
- Weight in pounds or kilograms.
- A dose you miss is nudged once at ten minutes late, then left alone.
Build 1On a tester’s phone
The first real run
67 minutes, 10.5 km, 797 samples, 13 spoken cues and one fuel dose confirmed against its plan — on actual ground, not a simulator.
- Live capture from phone GPS, once a second, in the background with the screen locked.
- Spoken coaching over your music, ducking it for the cue and restoring it after.
- Fuelling prompts from a plan built before the session.
- Found and fixed on the day: music stayed quiet for the whole 67 minutes; a false "you have stopped" at 48 minutes; pace read as "6.15" instead of "6 oh 9".
