Android-Specific Features

What ClapDiet does on Android, and what it does not

What ClapDiet does on Android, and what it does not do yet.

Fingerprint Login

Sign in with your fingerprint instead of typing your password:

  • Go to Settings > Security
  • Enable Biometric Login
  • Confirm with your password
  • Next sign-in uses your fingerprint
  • Your fingerprint never reaches ClapDiet. Android tells the app only whether the

    check passed.

    Camera

    The camera is used for two things: scanning the barcode on a packaged food, and

    photographing a lab report to upload. ClapDiet asks for camera access the first

    time you use one of them, not at launch.

    Notifications

    Meal reminders, water reminders, the weekly summary and critical health alerts

    are separate switches under Settings > Notifications. Three further

    switches on that screen do not send anything yet —

    Notification Settings says which.

    On Android 13 and later the system asks for notification permission once. If you

    decline it, the in-app switches change nothing until you grant it in Android

    Settings.

    Tablets

    ClapDiet runs full screen on tablets and works in split screen:

  • Open ClapDiet
  • Open recent apps
  • Tap the ClapDiet icon
  • Select Split screen
  • App Links

    ClapDiet is set up to open clapdiet.com links itself rather than in your

    browser, but this is not working yet: the final step is a small file that

    clapdiet.com has to serve for Android to verify the association, and it is not

    published. Links open in your browser for now.

    Not in the app on Android

    These get asked about often enough to be worth naming plainly. None of them

    exists today, and none has a date:

  • Google Fit / Health Connect. ClapDiet neither reads from nor writes to
  • either. Weight, water and nutrition are logged in the app only.

  • Home screen widgets. There is no ClapDiet widget to add.
  • Google Assistant. ClapDiet exposes no Assistant actions, so "Hey Google,
  • log water in ClapDiet" will not work.

  • Quick Settings tile. There is no ClapDiet tile.
  • App shortcuts. Long-pressing the app icon offers no quick actions.
  • Material You. ClapDiet does not take its colours from your wallpaper.
  • Wear OS and Android Auto. There is no watch app and no car app.
  • Location. ClapDiet asks for no location permission and holds no location
  • data.

    If one of these is what you need, tell us.
