Join with a codeThe time from deciding to log something to seeing it in your diary, measured in the Loopa apps. This page publishes the figures together with the method and exactly what a measurement contains.
Loopa times each log from the moment you start it to the moment the entry is on your screen. It also splits out the network wait and the server time.
The published figure. The clock starts when you commit to logging: tapping the camera, opening the scanner, reaching for a saved meal, typing the first letter of a search. It stops when the entry is on your screen. On some methods most of that time is you choosing, reading or typing.
From saving to the server acknowledging it. An entry drawn before the network answers is already on your screen, so its total has no network wait inside it.
The time the server spends saving your entry. The server reports it, and recent app versions record it.
App processing time on its own is not collected. Time on the device is the total minus the network wait, and on the slower methods it still includes your own choosing and typing.
The quickest methods by typical time: a glass of water, under 0.1 s; a supplement you take, under 0.1 s; a body measurement, under 0.1 s. The table is sorted by the 9-in-10 time. Methods marked "includes your choosing" start the clock before you have decided what to log.
Completed logs only, 20 August to 15 September 2026. Logarithmic scale.

Each total splits into time on the device, the wait on the network and the time on the server.

Yes. The quick-log button starts the clock before you have picked what to log, so the same method reads slower from there.
| Method | Where it started | Typical | 9 in 10 |
|---|---|---|---|
| A food you searched for | Started inside the screen | 25 s | 1 min 37 s |
| A food you searched for | Started from the quick-log button | 40 s | 2 min 59 s |
| A vitals reading, such as blood pressure or glucose | Started inside the screen | 0.1 s | 3.9 s |
| A vitals reading, such as blood pressure or glucose | Started from the quick-log button | 4.4 s | 74 s |
| A weigh-in | Started inside the screen | 9.6 s | 23 s |
| A weigh-in | Started from the quick-log button | 8.4 s | 21 s |
Timings and how the log was made. A measurement has no field for what you ate, what you weigh or anything you typed.
A measurement has no field for what you ate, what you weigh, a reading, a note or anything you typed, and the server discards a measurement whose method or starting point is not on its list. Measurements are deleted after 90 days, deleted with your account, and included in the account export under Your Data. The figures on this page are aggregates with no account or device identifiers.
Not from a setting in either app. Measurements are deleted after 90 days, and with your account.
Contact us to ask for your measurements to be deleted.
From completed logs only, as percentiles of the end-to-end time.
Nearest rank over the sorted times: the typical figure is the median, and "9 in 10" means 90% of completed logs were at least that fast.
Every figure is timed from logs that completed, so a quick failure can never make a method look fast.
A clock on the phone that ignores changes to the time of day. On iPhone it pauses while the phone sleeps; on Android it keeps running. Anything over 10 minutes is treated as someone who walked away and is not stored.
In the Loopa iPhone, iPad, Android and web apps. Most logs in this window were made on iPhones released in 2024 or later, so times on other devices can differ.
This page covers 20 August to 15 September 2026, read on 16 September 2026. The next window will be published with its own dates.
Answered from the same measurement.
"Feels fast" is not a claim anyone can check. A measured time with its dates and its method is, and it can be compared with the next measurement.
The gap between committing to log something and seeing it on your screen: from the tap on the camera, the scanner opening, the saved meal chosen or the first letter of a search, to the entry appearing. The network wait and the server time are recorded separately.
Because the clock is running on you for most of it. A search took 28 s typically, and almost all of that was spent before the save: reading results and choosing. The network wait on the same logs was 0.1 s. A glass of water, which is one tap, was under 0.1 s typically.
No. A measurement holds your account, the app, the logging method, where it started, the timings, whether it worked, the app version, the device model and two timestamps. There is no field for food, weight, readings or anything you type, and the server discards a measurement with a method it does not recognize.
Not today: neither app has a setting for it. Measurements are deleted after 90 days and with your account, your own are in the account export, and you can ask us to delete the ones stored for your account.
Typical times in this window, fastest first: a glass of water, under 0.1 s; a supplement you take, under 0.1 s; a body measurement, under 0.1 s; activity you log yourself, 0.2 s; a meal you saved, 0.2 s.
