At-Home vs. On-the-Go: How Throne Works Anywhere

Life doesn’t pause just because you’re not at home. Whether you’re at the office, traveling, or out with friends, you’ll still need to use the bathroom. Throne is designed to work with you wherever you are.

At home, your Throne device provides the richest stream of health data – hands-free, automatic, and powered by AI trained by physicians. But when you’re away, the Throne app lets you log sessions with photos or with forms, so you’ll never have gaps in your gut health journey.

What You Get With Each

Here’s a quick look at what the Throne device captures vs. what you can log in the app:

Metric Throne Device (at home) Throne App (away from home)
Stool Texture (Bristol Stool Scale) AI-classified AI-classified or form entry
Stool Frequency (how often) Automatic Manual log
Bathroom Habits AI-calculated Not available
Hydration (urine color) AI-calculated Not available
Flow Health* (urinary speed) AI-calculated Not available
*Flow Health is currently only available for users who urinate standing up. It is calculated only for those sessions.

Keeping Your Gut Story Intact

The foundation of your gut health is what we call your digestive pattern: the combination of stool frequency and stool texture.

If you’re having regular, healthy bowel movements (Types 3 & 4 on the Bristol Stool Scale), that’s a good digestive pattern.

If you’re swinging back and forth between extremes – constipation, diarrhea, or just irregular timing—you’ll see that reflected in your digestive pattern.

Even without the full richness of the Throne device, the app ensures you never lose track of these fundamentals. Your digestive pattern stays complete no matter where you go. It just takes a little more work on your end.

Think of it like wearing a WHOOP or Oura Ring: you get the deepest insights when the device is on, but you don’t lose your trend line if you take it off for a workout or a shower.

The Bottom Line

When you’re at home, Throne gives you richer, hands-free metrics. When you’re away, the app lets you log sessions so your digestive timeline stays intact. Used together, they give you the fullest picture of your gut health – no matter where life takes you.
