Founder of Keoly · Barcelona, 2026
After six years of chronic digestive pain and countless medical tests with no answers, I solved my own health by changing everything at once: sleep, nutrition and movement. Not one. All three. I built Keoly because the app I needed did not exist. Everything I write here comes from that journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can one app really track everything about my health?
+
Most apps track one thing well. Keoly was built to track the three things that matter most together: sleep, nutrition and movement. The insight is that these three are not separate problems — they are one system. If you slept badly, your appetite hormones change. If you did not eat well, your workout suffers. Keoly sees all three and adapts accordingly. You do not need ten apps. You need the right three pillars in one place.
Does AI meal planning actually work for weight loss?
+
Yes — but the mechanism is different from what most people expect. AI meal planning does not just help you eat less. It helps you eat in a way that regulates sleep (which controls hunger hormones), supports your training recovery, and reduces the decision fatigue that makes people reach for processed food at 8pm. Sustainable weight loss comes from balance across all three pillars, not just calorie restriction. That is what the research consistently shows, and what I experienced personally.
How much time does tracking my health actually take?
+
With three separate apps (MyFitnessPal + Strava + a sleep app), the average person loses about 60 to 75 minutes per week — not just logging, but mentally trying to connect the data across platforms. With an integrated system like Keoly, that drops to under 10 minutes per week because the connections happen automatically. The goal is friction-free — your health should run in the background, not consume your attention.
Should I buy a smartwatch to start tracking my health?
+
No — not yet. The biggest mistake people make is buying a device before building the habit. A €400 smartwatch does not create discipline. Start by tracking manually for 30 days. Learn what data actually matters to you. Then, if you want to automate the data collection, a wearable adds real value. Otherwise it is just an expensive step counter that you stop looking at after three weeks.
Can the AI meal planner handle my dietary restrictions?
+
Yes. Keoly's meal planning handles gluten-free, lactose-free, vegan, vegetarian, Mediterranean and many other dietary approaches. I built this partly from personal experience — six years of digestive issues taught me that food is not one-size-fits-all. The AI adapts not just to your restrictions but to your recent sleep and training data, so recommendations are contextual. If you had a hard training day, it suggests recovery-focused nutrition, not a generic 2,000-calorie plan.
What is the Pono Score and how does it work?
+
Pono is a Hawaiian concept meaning perfect harmony and balance. The Pono Score is a single daily number that reflects the balance across your three pillars — sleep quality, nutritional choices and movement consistency. It does not reward maximising any one area. It rewards balance. A night of poor sleep lowers your Pono Score even if you hit all your nutrition targets — because an imbalanced system is not a healthy system. Most users say it takes one or two days to shift their mindset from tracking individual metrics to chasing overall balance. Once they make that shift, it feels liberating.
Is Keoly worth it compared to free apps?
+
The free tiers of MyFitnessPal, Strava and similar apps are heavily limited — constant ads, restricted features, and no integration between platforms. Keoly Ola at €6.99/month replaces all three and adds features none of them have (AI coaching, leagues, integrated analysis). Annually at €69.99 it costs less than one year of MyFitnessPal Premium alone. And there is a referral option: invite five friends per month and keep Keoly entirely free. The 7-day trial requires no credit card — so there is no risk in trying.
How do I start without getting overwhelmed?
+
Pick one pillar. Just one. For most people I recommend starting with sleep — because improving sleep quality has the fastest and most noticeable impact on everything else (energy, appetite, motivation to exercise). Track your sleep for two weeks. Notice patterns. Then add nutrition. Then movement. The biggest mistake is trying to optimise all three on day one. Your brain has limited willpower. Use it on one change at a time, let it become automatic, then layer the next one.
