''One of three ways to use Loopa. See also [[Using the iOS app]] and [[Using the Android app]].''

'''Desktop''' — Loopa in a web browser on a Mac, Windows PC, or Linux machine — is the '''most complete''' of the three. Everything the apps do, the browser does, and a few things live only here: the [[Meal planner|Planner]], the printable [[The full report|Report]], data '''Export''', and the full [[Settings]] form. If you are setting up your profile for the first time, or doing anything fiddly, do it on desktop.

'''Desktop''' is Loopa in a web browser on a Mac, Windows PC, or Linux machine, and it is the '''most complete''' of the three. Everything the apps do, the browser does, and a few things live only here: the [[Meal planner|Planner]], the printable [[the-full-dossier-report|Report]], data '''Export''', and the full [[Settings]] form. If you are setting up your profile for the first time, or doing anything fiddly, do it on desktop.
No install, no download. Sign in at your community's address in any modern browser.
== The two-level menu ==
Every health page carries the same navigation: a '''primary row''' of eight sections, and beneath it a '''secondary row''' of whatever the current section contains.
The eight primary sections:
+
* '''Dashboard''' — [[Your dashboard]], the day at a glance.
+
* '''Log''' — everything you record. See below.
+
* '''Nutrition''' — the food tools: [[Meal photo AI|Meal photo]], [[Meal planner|Planner]], [[My Meals|My meals]], ''What to eat'', and ''Food preferences''.
+
* '''Trends''' — [[Weight forecast|Forecast]], [[Trends and charts|Trends]], and ''Export''.
+
* '''H³''' — the habit helper. See [[Habits (H³)]].
+
* '''Photos''' — [[Progress photos]].
+
* '''Report''' — [[The full report|the full report]].
+
* '''Settings''' — [[Settings]] and [[Reminders]].
−
* '''Dashboard''' opens [[Your dashboard]], the day at a glance.
−
* '''Log''' is everything you record. See below.
−
* '''Nutrition''' holds the food tools: [[Meal photo AI|Meal photo]], [[Meal planner|Planner]], [[My Meals|My meals]], ''What to eat'', and ''Food preferences''.
−
* '''Trends''' holds [[Weight forecast|Forecast]], [[Trends and charts|Trends]], and ''Export''.
−
* '''H³''', the habit helper. See [[Habits (H³)]].
−
* '''Photos''' opens [[Progress photos]].
−
* '''Report''' opens [[the-full-dossier-report|the full report]].
−
* '''Settings''' holds [[Settings]] and [[Reminders]].
=== What's under Log ===
The Log row shows '''only the trackers you have switched on''', so your menu is shorter than the full list below. Turn things on and off in [[Settings]].
+
* '''Food''' — [[The Food log screen|the food log]] (needs food tracking on)
+
* '''Nutrients''' — [[Micronutrients|your nutrient breakdown]] (needs food tracking on)
+
* '''Weight''' — [[Weight tracking]]. '''Always shown''' — it is the core of the app.
+
* '''Vitals''' — [[Vitals tracking]]
+
* '''Measurements''' — [[Body measurements]]
+
* '''Activity''' — [[Activity tracking]]
+
* '''Water''' — [[Water tracking]]
+
* '''Supplements & Meds''' — [[Supplements and medications]]
+
* '''Cycle''' — [[Cycle tracking]]
+
* '''Fasting''' — [[Intermittent fasting|the fasting timer]]
−
* '''Food''' opens [[The Food log screen|the food log]] (needs food tracking on)
−
* '''Nutrients''' opens [[Micronutrients|your nutrient breakdown]] (needs food tracking on)
−
* '''Weight''' opens [[Weight tracking]]. '''Always shown''', because it is the core of the app.
−
* '''Vitals''' opens [[Vitals tracking]]
−
* '''Measurements''' opens [[Body measurements]]
−
* '''Activity''' opens [[Activity tracking]]
−
* '''Water''' opens [[Water tracking]]
−
* '''Supplements & Meds''' opens [[Supplements and medications]]
−
* '''Cycle''' opens [[Cycle tracking]]
−
* '''Fasting''' opens [[Intermittent fasting|the fasting timer]]
'''Blood glucose''' and '''INR''' are opt-in and start switched '''off''', so nobody gets clinical trackers they did not ask for. Switch them on in [[Settings]] and they join the Log row. See [[Blood glucose]] and [[INR and blood thinners]].
== The + Log button ==
+
The '''+ Log''' button sits at the top-right of every health page and opens a '''drawer''' — a panel that slides in from the right — so you can record something without leaving the page you are on. It has tabs for the common entries:

+
* '''Food''' — search and add straight to today.
+
* '''Barcode''' — opens your '''camera''' right there in the browser and reads the barcode live, with an on-screen frame to line the code up in. Same scanner as [[Barcode scanning]]. Your browser will ask permission for the camera the first time.
+
* '''Water''' — tap-sized amounts, and the drawer '''stays open''' with a running daily total so you can add several glasses in a row. The total turns green when you reach your goal.
+
* '''Weight''', '''Vitals''', '''Measurements''', '''Activity''' — quick numeric entry. Vitals shows a live classification chip as you type a blood-pressure reading, and a red note if the numbers are in a range that needs attention now.
+
* '''Supplements''' — your list as big check-off buttons; tap to mark taken. This one also stays open so you can tick several.

== Search and keyboard shortcuts ==
Two things make desktop much faster than tapping around.
+
'''Search''' — the magnifying glass beside + Log, or press `Ctrl`+`K` or `/`. Type any food, page, or tool and jump straight to it.

== What desktop does that the apps don't ==
+
* '''[[Meal planner|The Planner]]''' — build meals ahead across a week.
+
* '''Export''' — download your own data, under '''Trends → Export'''.
+
* '''The full [[Settings]] form''' — every tracker toggle, macro target, diet style, allergen and never-eat list in one place. The apps expose a subset.
+
* '''[[The full report|The Report]]''' — the long-form document, laid out to read and to print.
+
* '''Sharing''' — generate a link to show someone a slice of your data.

== Working across devices ==
+
It is one account and one set of data. Log breakfast on your phone, open desktop at lunch, and it is already there. A sensible pattern many members settle into: '''apps for logging''' (camera and barcode are in your pocket), '''desktop for thinking''' — planning the week, reading the Report, adjusting targets.
