Daily logging
Your usual,
three taps away.
Foods you often eat at this hour come first. Pick one, check the amount, add it.
- A million foods, on your phone.
- USDA and Open Food Facts are stored on your iPhone, so search and barcode scanning work without a signal.
- A missing food becomes your food.
- Read its Nutrition Facts from a photo or type them in, check the values, and keep it for next time.
- Notes, where they belong.
- Add a line to a food or to the day when you want more than numbers.
From protein to potassium
See where the
fiber came from.
Open any reported nutrient to see which foods supplied it. Follow the same trail for protein, sodium, iron, or vitamin C.
- Your daily picture.
- Calories, protein, carbs, fat, and fiber, measured against targets you choose.
- The finer detail.
- Vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, caffeine, alcohol, and the water in food, wherever the source reports them.
- Honest about gaps.
- An unreported value shows as “—”, never as zero, and each total says how many foods contributed.

Breakfast, logged before
the coffee cools.
A usual breakfast food joins the day's log, then the nutrient detail opens.
Read what happens in the demo
The app brings the foods usually logged at breakfast to the top. A latte is added in three taps. Adding a second cup combines both cups into one food row. The full nutrient list shows the day's reported nutrients, including fatty acids. Opening vitamin C shows the foods that supplied it, with broccoli first.

Private iCloud sync for your log and settings is coming in the next beta update and will be included at launch. We can't access it. Shared Foods checks a barcode against foods other people shared. Online Label Reading sends package photos to be read, and saving a food read online with a barcode submits it for review. Neither sends your log.

A few useful answers.
Is every feature free?
Yes. Food search, barcode scanning, nutrient detail, notes, and exports are all free. Calorie Tape has no ads, and you don't need an account to use it.
How do I try it?
Open the beta link on your iPhone. Apple will help you install TestFlight, then Calorie Tape. You'll need iOS 27 or later. The beta is open internationally; the packaged-food catalog covers the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.
What if a barcode isn't found?
Add your own food by typing the package's Nutrition Facts or reading its label from a photo. Check the values before saving. You can also choose to look up foods shared by other people online.
How complete are the nutrient totals?
It depends on the food's source. USDA generic foods include vitamins, minerals, and more; packaged foods usually carry only what's on their label. The full nutrient breakdown shows how many foods reported each total. A missing value stays unknown.
Can I use Apple Health?
Yes, if you turn it on. Calorie Tape can save the foods you log and their nutrients to Apple Health, or read your active energy to show beside what you ate. You choose the permissions. Health data isn't sent to Calorie Tape's servers.
Can I sync or share my log?
Private iCloud sync for your log and settings is coming in the next beta update and will be included at launch. It uses your private iCloud account when you're signed in; we can't access it. You can already export chosen days as text or a spreadsheet.
