Using Rubric on the Web
Using Rubric on the Web
The Rubric web app is available at app.rubric.fit. It provides full access to the Coach, dashboard, and protocols, with some platform differences from iOS.
Getting Started
Navigate to app.rubric.fit and sign in with the same Google or Apple account you use on iOS. The web app adapts to your screen size: phone-width browsers show a familiar tab layout, while tablet and desktop widths switch to a top navigation bar with more room for content.
Feature Comparison
| Feature | iOS App | Web App |
|---|---|---|
| Text food logging | Yes | Yes |
| Voice food logging | Yes | Yes (Chrome and Edge) |
| Photo food logging | Yes | No |
| AI Coach conversations | Yes | Yes |
| Dashboard and scores | Yes | Yes |
| Protocol management | Yes | Yes |
| Weekly transcripts | Yes | Yes |
| HealthKit sync | Yes | No |
| Push notifications | Yes | No |
| Siri commands | Yes | No |
Voice input on the web requires a browser that supports the Web Speech API, such as Chrome or Edge. Other browsers will show a text-only input.
Web-Specific Features
The web app has a few features that work better than their mobile counterparts:
- Enter to send in Coach chat. Press Enter to send a message; Shift+Enter inserts a new line. The hint text in the input field reminds you.
- Copy buttons on Coach responses, score breakdowns, and transcript URLs. One click copies the content to your clipboard.
- Text selection on Coach responses. Select and copy any portion of a response, which is harder to do precisely on a phone.
- Two-pane layout on wider screens. Desktop widths show the input terminal and journal side by side, reducing navigation.
What Is Different on Web
No health data sync. The web app cannot access Apple HealthKit. It displays data that has already been synced from your iPhone. If you have not opened the iOS app recently, your web data may be stale. Open the iOS app and pull to refresh to update.
No camera. Photo logging requires the iOS app. Use text or voice logging on the web instead.
No push notifications. Daily audit and weekly report notifications are delivered to your iPhone only. The web app will not alert you.
When the Web App Is Most Useful
- At your desk, when you want a larger screen for Coach conversations.
- Copying text: Coach responses, score breakdowns, or transcript URLs into notes or messages.
- Reviewing your dashboard, transcripts, or protocol history without picking up your phone.
- Logging meals via keyboard when your phone is charging or out of reach.
