ChatGPTWhy you'll stick with it
People quit when logging takes too long, feels unreliable, or does not fit real life. The research is clear — and it guides every choice we've made in how Ziva works.
Signal 01
Too much effort
23 min/day
User challenge
Traditional logging can still take 15-23 minutes per day. Search, scroll, portion dropdown, repeat.
What helps
Say what you ate in plain language. Ziva parses foods and quantities instantly with no menus.
Signal 02
Hard to trust the numbers
39% restart
User challenge
After users stop tracking, only 39% resume. Doubt the numbers once and consistency breaks fast.
What helps
Every log shows USDA match, portion assumption, and macro math. A receipt instead of a black box.
Signal 03
All-or-nothing pressure
Week 1 → 3 drop
User challenge
All-or-nothing tracking creates pressure. One missed day turns into a lost week for many users.
What helps
Conversational logging makes fast imperfect entries normal, so streaks survive real life.
Signal 04
Emotional drag
Guilt → churn
User challenge
Tracking often feels like compliance. Miss one entry and the app feels punitive instead of useful.
What helps
Ziva keeps tone supportive and helps fill gaps. No guilt spiral, no hard restart.
