Common questions
How does Dabba Diary learn our meals?
Tell it what you cooked by tapping the mic or typing, for example "dal tadka, jeera rice and bhindi for dinner". Check the dishes it finds and save. The more you log, the better tomorrow's suggestions get.
The voice button didn't understand me.
Edit the text before saving, or just type. When you correct a dish name, Dabba Diary remembers that spelling for next time. Check that Microphone and Speech Recognition are allowed under iPhone Settings → Dabba Diary.
Do you record my voice?
No. Your iPhone turns speech into text on the device, or through Apple's speech service when that isn't available. We never receive or store audio, only the text. See the Privacy Policy.
Our dish isn't in the list.
Tap Add a dish. Check the diet and allergy details it fills in (the AI can be wrong), then save. It shows up in suggestions right away.
How do allergies work?
Dishes whose main ingredients include an allergen you've listed are never suggested. Tags cover main ingredients only, so always check garnishes, spice blends and packaged foods yourself. Allergies you type under "Other" are saved as a reminder but not filtered. Kids' tiffin suggestions skip peanuts and cashews when "School is nut-free" is on. Dabba Diary isn't medical or nutritional advice. In an emergency, call 911.
How do I change the reminder time or turn it off?
Go to Settings → Reminder.
How do I share the plan with my family?
On Home, tap Share plan, then pick WhatsApp, iMessage or any app. We don't see who you send it to.
How do I see or fix what Dabba Diary knows about us?
Open What we know or Settings. To get a copy of your data, email us and we'll reply within 30 days.
How do I delete my account?
In the app, go to Settings → Delete account and confirm. This deletes your family's data, your profile and your sign-in. If you used Sign in with Apple, Apple asks you to confirm once more. Can't open the app? Email hello@bumbibeelabs.com from your account's email address and we'll delete it for you. Details on backups are in the Privacy Policy.
How do I stop your emails?
Tap Unsubscribe at the bottom of any email, or write to us. We stop within 10 business days. Account emails (like password resets) still come when you ask for them.
Beta feedback
In the TestFlight app, or by taking a screenshot in Dabba Diary, use Send Beta Feedback. You can also email us. Apple passes us your comments and screenshots, plus your device details. Please don't put other people's private details in screenshots.
Do you support vegan, Jain, no onion or garlic, gluten-free and fasting days?
Yes. Choose your diet during setup or in Settings, and add anything else under Foods we avoid (for example beef, pork or mushroom). Gluten-free? Check your hing (asafoetida), since many brands contain wheat flour.
Halal or kosher?
Dabba Diary suggests dishes, not where to buy ingredients, so it can't check how meat is sourced. Buy from the shops you trust.
Is Dabba Diary for kids?
No. It's for adults (18+) planning family meals. Children appear only as a nickname and age band that a parent enters.
