What is the Library in the Hexis app?

What each tab in your food Library does, and when to use each one.

Use this article to understand the five tabs in your Library, so you know where to look when you're adding food to a meal.

The Library opens whenever you tap the Search bar on a meal. Your targets for that meal stay pinned along the top while you browse, so you can always see what the meal still needs.

All

Searches everything at once: the Hexis food database, your favorites, foods you've created, and meals you've saved. Start here if you're not sure which category an item belongs to.

Favorites

Everything you've favorited, grouped alphabetically. Use the chips underneath to narrow the list to Foods, Meals, or Recipes.

To favorite something, open the item and tap the heart icon.

Tip: If it's a food you have regularly, we'd suggest adding it to your favorites so it's easier to find next time.

Foods

Foods you've created yourself. Your own foods carry a marker so you can identify them at a glance.

If you work with a coach, foods they've shared with you also appear here, marked with a green arrow icon.

Create New Food sits at the top of this tab. See How do I create my own food or supplement? for the full walkthrough.

Meals

Meals you've saved, each showing how many items it contains. Tap one to add the whole meal at once. See How do I save and reuse a meal? for how to build one.

Recipes

Hexis recipes, filtered to fit the meal you're adding to. If you're in a high-carb lunch, you'll only be shown recipes that suit a high-carb lunch.

The filter icon shows how many filters are currently applied. Tap it to widen your search.

Recipes marked Master Recipe are base recipes built to work in any scenario, so they appear regardless of your filters.

Open any recipe to see its full nutritional breakdown and method.


FAQs

Why can't I find a food I know is in the Hexis database?

Try the All tab first - it searches every category at once. If it's still not showing up, you can add it yourself (see How do I create my own food or supplement?), or email us at [email protected] with the details and we'll get it added for you.

How is the Favorites tab sorted?

Alphabetically. Use the Foods, Meals, or Recipes chips underneath to narrow it down further.
