Food is a calorie tracker and a recipe book in one app, built around a deliberate omission: there is no crowd-sourced food database.
Every big tracker has one, and every one of them is full of duplicates, wrong entries and confidently mislabelled portions. You end up searching a list of near-identical results and picking one that is probably wrong.
Food asks you to add a food once, from the label in front of you. After that, logging it is a single tap — and it is right, because you entered it. Your library gets more useful the longer you use it, instead of noisier.
What it does
A library that is yours
Add the foods you actually eat, once, with the numbers from the packet. Logging them afterwards is a tap. Most people eat the same forty things, so the library stops growing within about a fortnight.
Recipes that do the arithmetic
Build a recipe out of foods you have already added and it works out the per-serving numbers for you. Log the serving, not the ingredients, every time after.
Today, by meal
The home screen shows where you are against your targets, broken out by meal, so you know what you have left before you decide on dinner rather than after.
No barcode theatre
No barcode scanner, no photo recognition, no AI estimating what is on your plate. Those features demo well and quietly guess. Typing a number off a label takes ten seconds and is correct.
Nobody here can read it
Food encrypts everything on your device before it syncs, with a key derived from your password that never reaches us. What our server stores is a blob we hold no key to. How that works.
Written on this
Food questions
- Why is there no food database?
- Because shared food databases are wrong often enough to make the totals meaningless, and it is impossible to tell which entries are the wrong ones. A small library you entered yourself is more accurate than a large one you did not.
- Is it a lot of work to set up?
- The first week is the work. Most people eat the same few dozen things, so by the second week you are mostly tapping items you have already added. That is the trade: a little effort up front for numbers you can trust afterwards.
- Can you see what I eat?
- No. Your log and your recipes are encrypted on your device before they sync, with a key derived from your password. We hold nothing that could open them.
