The credential **fields** appear on every platform; the **fetch button** only where it can work. That split is the point, not an oversight: the panel sends no CORS headers so a browser cannot call it, but the desktop app is where a password is most likely to be typed, and the credential syncs — so hiding the fields on web would mean the phone could only ever be set up by typing on the phone. On web the button is replaced by a line saying why, and noting the login still reaches the phone from there. The section says the password is stored and synced in plain text rather than implying otherwise. The button disables itself while a fetch is in flight, so an impatient double-tap cannot pay a second login plus three requests against a third party. The result line says dishes were added to the **food bank** and that the user still logs them when eaten — the wording carries the delivered-is-not-eaten rule to the one place a user actually reads. `settings_screen.dart` was already at 247 of its 250-line budget, so the section owns its own leading divider and the fetch handler lives beside it; the screen spends one line on it. 678 Dart tests.

diet_guard
A log-to-unlock gate: locks the desktop until a meal is logged once a meal slot (08:00 / 12:00 / 16:00 / 20:00) has elapsed without one, and tracks a sealed daily calorie/macro budget.
Install
bash install.sh
This installs the package + dependencies into system Python's user
site-packages (the systemd service runs /usr/bin/python directly, not a
venv — see CLAUDE.md), installs the systemd user timer, seals your daily
budget, and locks the budget file immutable.
Usage
python -m diet_guard init # one-time: compute and seal today's budget
python -m diet_guard gate --demo # test the lock window (safe, closeable)
python -m diet_guard averages # weekly/monthly average kcal vs budget
Averages
averages prints the mean kcal/day for this week, last week, this month and
last month, each labelled under / slightly over / very over.
Three rules make the number honest, and all three are mirrored in the phone app and the gate's History tab:
- the mean is over logged days only -- a day you forgot to log is not a zero-calorie day, and averaging it in as one would make every gap in the log read as "well under budget";
- the yardstick is the mean of the budgets that applied on those same days,
not today's budget, so editing the budget never retroactively reclassifies a
past week (same reason the calendar uses
.budget_history); - today is excluded -- every period ends at yesterday, because a half-logged today drags the mean far enough to flip the band. On a Monday "this week" therefore reports no logged days yet rather than a flattering number.
The band boundaries are the calendar's own (at or under budget / up to 20% over / more than 20% over), so a period and its day cells can never disagree about what "over" means.
The timer runs the gate automatically every ~30 minutes; no manual invocation is needed once installed.
MCP server
An optional Model Context Protocol server
lets an MCP client (Claude Code and its subagents) query today's intake and log
meals as typed tools instead of shelling out to the CLI. It runs in its own
venv (~/.venvs/diet-guard-mcp) so the mcp SDK never touches the
dependency-light system/CLI python path.
Tools:
get_status— today's consumed kcal + macros, the consumption band (on track/approaching limit/OVER BUDGET, or none when no budget is sealed), plus due / logged / current meal slots.list_today— today's logged meals (description, kcal, macros, source, slot).get_slots— the day's fixed meal slots and the current one.get_averages— average kcal/day for this/last week and this/last month, each with its band (under/slightly_over/very_over). Returns the intake and the band only — never the period's average budget.log_meal(description, grams=, kcal=, protein=, carbs=, fat=, slot=, confirm=False)— gated write: withconfirm=Falseit previews the resolved nutrition and target slot and mutates nothing; onlyconfirm=Trueappends the entry. The gate is intrinsic — never add this tool to a permission allowlist, since a client's auto-approve mode would otherwise bypass the human confirmation.
The read tools deliberately never expose the raw daily budget number (only the
qualitative band), nor the sealed .budget file, the shared HMAC key, or the
sync token — the budget stays hidden by design.
Setup:
bash scripts/setup_mcp.sh # create the venv and install diet_guard[mcp]
Then restart Claude Code in this repo and approve the project MCP server
(registered in .mcp.json).
Development
python -m venv .venv && .venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
.venv/bin/pre-commit install && .venv/bin/pre-commit install --hook-type pre-push
.venv/bin/python -m pytest diet_guard/tests/ --cov=diet_guard --cov-branch --cov-fail-under=100
