The daily AI-token gate was a flat 25,000/day for every provider. That cap exists to bound the OPERATOR's API bill, but a ChatGPT-OAuth (Codex) or BYOK chain egresses on the USER's own plan/key and costs the operator nothing, so gating it on the operator-cost ceiling is wrong. A single gpt-5.x reasoning turn legitimately reports 20k-40k gross total_tokens (re-sent system prompt + inventory + tool defs per round + hidden reasoning, summed across rounds), so one or two turns exhausted the flat cap and locked the user out of a plan they pay for. Classify the chain's cost owner by its primary provider via resolveDailyCap: an admin-openai primary (operator pays) keeps the operator-cost cap; every user-egress primary (codex/openai/anthropic/local) gets a generous abuse-only ceiling. Threaded into the Coach chat gate and both OCR-extract modes. Raise the operator-cost cap 25,000 -> 200,000 so the operator-key path also survives a normal day of reasoning turns, keeping gross-token accounting rather than reworking the reconcile math. Subtract cached input tokens at reconcile: the Responses-API gross total still includes prompt-cached input the user did not re-pay for. The codex client already parsed cached_tokens; sum it through the tool loop and bill total_tokens minus cached.
HealthLog
Self-hosted, privacy-first health tracking. Your vitals, your devices, your server.

Why HealthLog
HealthLog is a self-hosted health tracking app (PWA + native iOS client) that runs from a single docker compose up on a NAS, homelab, or small VPS. It brings weight, blood pressure, pulse, blood glucose, body composition, sleep, mood, menstrual cycle, and medications onto one timeline — synced from the devices you already own — and keeps everything encrypted at rest on hardware you control. No vendor cloud, no subscription, no telemetry.

Highlights
- Every vital on one timeline. Weight, blood pressure, pulse, glucose, body composition, sleep, SpO₂, mood, and cycle tracking — charted with trends, moving averages, and clinical reference ranges (ESH 2023, ADA 2024), overridable with the targets your clinician set.
- Your devices, one server. Withings, WHOOP, Oura and Polar sync over OAuth2, Fitbit connects experimentally over the Fitbit Web API, an Apple Health
export.zipfolds your full history in, and the native iOS app streams HealthKit live. A per-metric source priority decides which reading is canonical when wearables overlap. - Medication tracking that tells the truth. Flexible schedules (weekly injections, weekday-only, intervals, PRN, cyclic), a configurable intake window per dose, and a traceable dose history where every slot reads taken, late, skipped, or missed — the same ledger the compliance rate is computed from, so the percentage can never disagree with the timeline.
- AI insights you own. Daily briefing, health scores, correlations, and a conversational coach grounded in your own measurements, with proactive check-ins. Bring your own OpenAI or Anthropic key, or point at a local endpoint (Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM) so nothing leaves your network.
- Clinician-ready output. A doctor-report PDF generated client-side, a read-only HL7 FHIR R4 API, and scoped, time-limited share links you revoke after the visit.
- Private by construction. AES-256-GCM encryption at rest with zero-downtime key rotation, passkey login, server-side sessions, strict CSP — and no third-party tracking anywhere.
- Built to be lived in. Installable PWA with offline support, medication reminders over APNs, Telegram, ntfy, and Web Push, a sub-second dashboard on years of imported history, English and German end to end.

Quick start (Docker Compose)
git clone https://github.com/MBombeck/HealthLog.git && cd HealthLog
cp .env.example .env
# Generate the three secrets (each a 64-char hex string = 32 bytes):
echo "POSTGRES_PASSWORD=$(openssl rand -hex 32)" >> .env
echo "ENCRYPTION_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 32)" >> .env
echo "API_TOKEN_HMAC_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 32)" >> .env
# LAN / plain-HTTP host (NAS, homelab, Tailscale) — required, or login fails:
echo "SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=false" >> .env
docker compose up -d
Open http://localhost:3000 (or http://<host>:3000) — the first registered user becomes admin. The compose file pulls a pre-built multi-arch image (amd64 + arm64) from GHCR; no build step required.
Verify the running version:
curl -s http://localhost:3000/api/version # returns version + buildSha + builtAt
SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE=false is the one setting plain-HTTP self-hosts must set: without it the session cookie carries the Secure flag, the browser drops it over HTTP, and login silently fails. Leave it unset (or true) only when a TLS reverse proxy serves HTTPS — and then set NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL and APP_URL to the public URL first (see the self-hosting guide).
Persistent state lives in exactly one named volume (pgdata, the Postgres data dir); the app container is stateless, so backing up the database backs up everything.
NAS and homelab users have ready-made paths: Unraid Community Applications and Portainer app templates.
Self-hosting
One container hosts both the web server and the job worker by default; split them via HEALTHLOG_PROCESS_TYPE=web|worker for horizontal scale. Encrypted daily backups to any S3-compatible bucket are opt-in via the admin panel, new users join by invite link or QR code, and the stack works out of the box behind Caddy, Traefik, Nginx, or Coolify.
HealthLog ships releases roughly weekly. Pin a tag, back up before upgrades, and skim the CHANGELOG before pulling latest. The operator manual — reverse proxy, migrations, encryption-key rotation, backup and restore — lives at docs.healthlog.dev.
Native iOS app
A SwiftUI companion in public beta via TestFlight, built on the same API as the web client: live HealthKit two-way sync, medication reminders with action buttons that work without opening the app, and an on-device coach on Apple-Intelligence-capable iPhones. Code lives in MBombeck/healthlog-iOS.
Tech stack
Next.js 16 (App Router, React Server Components), TypeScript strict, PostgreSQL 16 with Prisma, pg-boss for jobs, Tailwind CSS 4 + shadcn/ui, Recharts, WebAuthn passkeys, Vitest + Playwright, multi-stage Alpine Docker image. The OpenAPI 3.1 contract for native clients is generated from the Zod schemas at docs/api/openapi.yaml.
