8:02 AM

Breakfast.

You planned Overnight Oats on Sunday. You eat it. You tap it once — and 410 calories, 18g of protein, 52g of carbs and 9g of fat are logged.

12:40 PM

Lunch.

The Caesar wrap was already on the plan, so the app already knows what's in it. One tap. You have still not opened a food diary.

7:15 PM

Dinner. Done.

The day closes at 1,590 calories with 610 to spare — and Apple Health already has every gram of it.4

Get the highlights.

Two million barcodes. Zero bars of signal.

The USDA food database ships inside the app. Scanning never asks the internet for permission.1

A recipe is a link, a photo, a paste, or a thing you said.

All four go in the same way, and come out as ingredients, steps and macros.

Tick a meal off. The macros are already logged.

You told it what you were going to eat. Eating it is the whole of the work.

“Can I eat this?” An actual answer.

It ranks your own recipes against the macros you have left, and tells you what misses by how much.

Six schemes. Pick your dark.

The whole app restyles — every tile, every surface, every label. Your accent and your macro colours carry across all of them.

Donuts — four gauges, one per macro. The default.

barcodes, already on your phone.

The whole USDA food database ships inside the app — every packaged product, its nutrition panel, its serving size. Scanning doesn't ask the internet for permission.

Scan a label in a basement freezer aisle, on a plane, or in a shop with one bar of signal. The answer comes back instantly, because it was never anywhere else.1

Add a recipe however you happen to have it.

A link someone sent you. A photo of a cookbook page. A wall of pasted text. Or a thing you say out loud.

From a link

Paste any recipe URL. The page is fetched and pulled apart into ingredients, steps and macros.

From a photo

Point the camera at a cookbook, a handwritten card, or a printout on the counter.2

From a mess of text

Paste it exactly as you found it. Ingredients, quantities and steps get sorted out for you.

Out loud

Say the recipe. It's transcribed and structured while you talk.

"Chicken thighs, forty minutes at four hundred, with the lemon rice…"

“Can I eat this?”

The question you actually ask at six o'clock. Tap it, and the app takes the macros you have left and ranks what fits — your recipes, and what's already in the kitchen.

Nothing fits? It says so, and tells you by how much you'd go over. It never makes the number up.

It's your kitchen, not a server.

No account to make. Nothing to sign into. Your food lives on your devices and syncs through your own iCloud.

Apple Intelligence, on device

Pick it and the text features — reading a recipe, understanding a spoken food log — run on the phone. No key, no account, nothing sent anywhere.2

Apple Health, kept honest

Calories, protein, carbs, fat and fiber are written to Health. Edit a meal a week later and it reconciles what it wrote — no duplicates, no drift.4

Your iCloud, and a week you can share

iPhone and iPad stay in step through your own iCloud. Hand a week's plan to someone else and you'll both see the same one.

Questions? Answers.

Does scanning work without an internet connection?

Yes. The USDA food database — 2,007,565 foods, 1,993,975 of them with a barcode — ships inside the app and is queried on the device itself. If a product isn't in it, the app falls back to looking it up online via Open Food Facts, and that part does need a connection.

Do I need an AI API key?

Not for the text features. Choose Apple Intelligence and parsing a recipe, reading a spoken food log, or tidying a shopping list all run on device, with no key and no account. The features that read photographs — a recipe from a cookbook photo, a wine label, a receipt — do need a Claude or Gemini API key of your own, because Apple Intelligence can't analyse images yet.

Where does my data live?

On your device, and in your own iCloud if you want it on more than one. There's no account to create and no server of mine for it to sit on. You can export everything to JSON whenever you like.

Do the macros really log themselves?

If the meal was planned, yes — ticking it off logs its calories, protein, carbs, fat and fiber, and writes them to Apple Health. For anything unplanned you scan a barcode, say what you ate, or type it.

Can more than one person use it?

Yes. Each person gets their own targets and their own day, so nobody has to share a calorie budget. You can also share a week's plan with someone else through iCloud.

What does it cost, and when can I get it?

It isn't released yet. When it is, it's part of AlexApps — $2.99 a month or $29.99 a year, which covers every app in the bundle, including the ones that come later.5

Keep exploring AlexApps.

  1. Offline scanning covers the 1,993,975 barcoded products in the USDA FoodData Central database bundled with the app (2,007,565 foods in total). Products not in it are looked up online through Open Food Facts, which requires a connection.
  2. Apple Intelligence runs on device, needs no API key and no account, and handles the text features. Features that analyse photographs — recipe from a photo, wine label scanning, receipt scanning — require a Claude or Gemini API key that you supply.
  3. Requires iOS 26 on iPhone or iPad.
  4. Apple Health and iCloud sync require your permission and your own iCloud account.
  5. Meal & Grocery Tracker is not yet released. Pricing shown is the AlexApps subscription: $2.99 per month or $29.99 per year.
