TL;DR
  • The latest version of the Oura app for Android has revealed an upcoming feature that will help users track their meals.
  • The feature will also utilize AI to identify meal items.
  • Oura will use the meal and meal times data to help users figure out how their meals affect their sleep.

Update: August 16, 2024: The initial version of this article contained relevant code snippets from the Oura app. Following a legal request from the company, we have removed these code snippets. We otherwise stand by our reporting.

Oura is developing a couple of features that will make its smart rings more useful. We recently shared details about an upcoming feature that would aggregate heart rate data into six zones, making it easier to track activities and how they affect your heart rate. We’ve now spotted evidence of another feature that will let you log your meals and meal times.

An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.

Strings spotted in the latest beta version of the Oura app (version 5.3.4 beta 2) highlight an upcoming feature that will let you easily track your meals using the app. Although the feature is not active at the moment, we have an idea of how it may work on release based on the strings we’ve discovered.

The strings suggest that the new feature will let you track your meals in the Oura app to better understand how your meals and meal times affect your circadian rhythm. The feature will allow you to log meals by taking a picture, and it will utilize AI to analyze the items in your meals. You will also have the option to manually log meals without the AI analysis.

We’ve also managed to grab two screenshots of the setup UI for the feature ahead of the rollout. These screenshots mention how Oura plans to use the feature to help users eat better at regular intervals to improve their sleep.

We don’t know when Oura plans to release the feature to users. However, since code related to the feature has already made it to the app, it shouldn’t be long before it rolls out.
