Language and Units

The app's languages, regional food vocabulary, the first day of the week, and switching between metric, imperial, kcal, and kJ.

Language

Gravl Macros is available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. By default it follows your phone's language (falling back to English); to pick explicitly, go to Profile → App preferences → Language. Your choice syncs with your account, so a second device follows along.

Spanish speakers get one extra option: food vocabulary. It offers three choices — Automatic, which follows your phone; General Spanish; and Argentina. The two variants name foods the way you actually say them — the interface language stays the same, but searches and results use your region's words.

Food names in the catalog are translated continuously; an occasional brand-new item may briefly show its English name the first time it appears.

Start of the week

Profile → App preferences → Start of week sets the day each week begins on: Monday (the default), Sunday, or Automatic, which follows your phone's region. It changes how weeks are drawn and added up across the app — the day strip, the weekly budget, the water rail, the calendars, and the weekly bars in long charts. Your choice syncs with your account.

Two things keep their own day: your check-in day, and the streak freeze, which always comes back on Monday. Switching mid-week moves the weekly budget's window, so what's left for the week is counted again from the new first day; your logged food and your targets don't change.

Units

In Profile → App preferences → Measurements and units you control:

  • Units — metric (kg, cm) or imperial (lb, ft/in);
  • Energy unit — kilocalories (kcal) or kilojoules (kJ).

Changes apply everywhere immediately — targets, diary, charts, and history are displayed in your chosen units. Nothing is converted destructively: switch back and forth freely, your data is stored precisely underneath.
