Introducing, Josh's Food Journal
If nutrition tracking is right for you, Josh's Food Journal is a powerful tool built around your routine.
Custom Pages
Set up a dedicated space for each meal. Track your favourite foods really, really quickly, no searching required.
Genmoji
Give each food a recognisable icon. If the perfect emoji doesn't exist, try making a Genmoji or sticker.
Keypad Buttons
Use onscreen keypad buttons to quickly add multiple items directly on the page.
Precision Buttons
Use precision buttons to enter weights for multiple items without switching pages. Available in Pro.
Bookmarks
Save individual servings, recipes or set menus for easy access. Each bookmark is one less thing you'll need to find, search or scan for each meal.
Automatic Routing
Jump to a specific meal when you open the app, tap on-screen buttons, or launch iOS shortcuts.
When you open the app, it should automatically display the right meal and page. Use the Now button or an iOS Shortcut if it's already open in the background. Precision weight controls and location-based pages are available in Pro. Genmoji is a registered trademark of Apple.
Whole Foods Database
It's perfect for places with limited coverage, like the wilderness.
Search Filters
Use intelligent filters to find a specific ingredient.
Dataset Browser
Explore the dataset by tapping through categories and filters.
Data Provenance
Learn where each database item came from. Compare in-app values against the original dataset.
Weight Entry
Enter direct weights when logging foods.
Item Presets
Log using approximate weight presets, where available.
The included database is a curated collection of whole foods and ingredients, designed to fit onto your device for offline use. It won't include community contributions, packaged items or restaurant foods.
Label Scanner
Use the label scanner to log packaged foods or add recipe ingredients.
Familiar Forms
Scan a US product and see results arranged like the label. Compare, adjust, and save without jumping around.
Custom Servings
Log by weight, servings, or a share of the container. You can also count items separately from servings, without doing math.
Flexible Entry
Scan a label with the camera, or pick a photo or screenshot from your library.
Label scanning is a Pro Feature. Not all label formats are supported. The scanner makes mistakes from time to time. Verify and adjust results before saving.
Meal Prep
If you eat the same meals on rotation, you can log ahead of time. This reduces the number of times you need to open the app.
Log Ahead
Log the same meal across multiple days. Perfect for meal prep.
Copy to Date
Pick and choose the foods you want to copy across to another day.
Custom Timestamps
Save entries to custom date and timestamps.
Meal Prep, Copy to Date and Custom Timestamps are available in Pro.
Apple Health Integration
With two-way sync, you can track simple repeating foods here, and use your favourite nutrition apps to track barcodes and restaurant items.
Reads from Health
Foods logged to Apple Health from external apps count toward your goals.
Saves to Health
Data from this app flows into your preferred data analysis platform through Apple Health.
Data Export
Export daily notes and nutrition logs to CSV.
Apple Health read and write access is required to view external foods and to save data back to Apple Health. Manual CSV exports are also available.
The free tier is fast, doesn't have ads, and works offline. Pro unlocks additional features and supports independent development. Coming soon to the United States.
Thanks for stopping by, have a great day :)
