Customizing Your Diary Categories
Your Kanvie diary helps you track everything that matters, from meals to workouts to body stats, and groups them all together into categories. While we provide default categories, you can customize them so your diary reflects your personal routine, whether you're a casual fitness enjoyer or a serious athlete.
