## What is Moderation Mindful Food Diary?

Make mindful eating easier with one quick healthiness check-in. Add tags or a note only when they help, then see your patterns and streaks emerge over time. No calories, macros, food database, account, or ads.

A food diary should build awareness, not become homework. Moderation asks one simple question: was this meal healthy or unhealthy for you? Over time, those quick check-ins become trends you can understand and habits you can shape.

No weighing every ingredient. No searching through endless food results. You decide how a meal felt, add only the context that is useful, and keep moving.

LOG MEALS IN SECONDS

• Log breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, or your own custom meals with one tap.
• Mark each meal healthy or unhealthy based on your goals, not somebody else's formula.
• Use reminders when they help, with extra nudges available for more accountability.
• Work fully offline, so a weak connection never interrupts your diary.

UNDERSTAND HOW YOU EAT OVER TIME

• Review meals in a clear daily timeline and calendar.
• See daily, weekly, and monthly healthiness patterns at a glance.
• Build healthy-day streaks and get gentle encouragement when you are nearly back on track.
• Explore tag insights to notice which situations, ingredients, places, or routines help or get in your way.
• Follow weight trends with Apple Health, without turning every meal into a calorie calculation.

ADD CONTEXT ONLY WHEN IT HELPS

• Add custom tags for the details that matter to you, such as mood, location, ingredients, or how you felt.
• Add a note while logging a meal, then read or edit it directly from the timeline.
• Create custom meal types that fit your actual day instead of forcing a fixed meal plan.

FIT AWARENESS INTO YOUR DAY

• Log meals with Siri, Shortcuts, widgets, or the Action Button when opening the app would slow you down.
• Ask Siri to show today's logged meals, or use Shortcuts to retrieve meals for a date range and filter them by healthiness.
• Put healthiness, streak, and insight widgets on your Home Screen or Lock Screen.
• Toggle meal notifications from Control Centre and let reminders adjust when your time zone changes.

YOUR FOOD HISTORY STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE

Your food history and meal notes stay on your device. Moderation requires no account, sign-up, or social profile, and it contains no ads.

### 5/5 — Simple

*2026-03-26*

Easy to use especially when not a person who likes to track calories

**Developer response:** Thanks for this feedback! I'm glad the app feels intuitive for you — I designed it exactly for people who want to track what matters without the calories obsession. Reviews like this really motivates me to keep it simple.

### 5/5 — Good!

*2025-04-27*

the app does its job perfectly in a nice and simple design. love it! for my needs, i need to track images, but be sure i will come back if this feature would be available (you could make it a pro-feature, for example). 5/5 stars!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review, it really helps :-) I’m working on a big update to the app which will add image support later this year.

### 4/5 — So simple

*2025-04-08*

So easy, so practical 🥰

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review!

### 2/5 — CBA

*2024-11-15*

Tried to log my weight but wax told I couldn’t as I hadn’t enabled something to do with Apple Health. I mean if you can’t do something as simple as record your weight who needs it?..🤷‍♀️

**Developer response:** I’m sorry you found the Apple Health integration frustrating. There are several benefits to using Apple Health for the user. Your weight data is stored securely and privately on your device, other weight tracking apps can read/write the same data, any other devices you have with Apple Health (I.e an iPad) will sync your data over iCloud, and most importantly, if you ever delete Moderation your weight data isn’t deleted because its stored in Apple Health.

### 2/5 — How do you record anything???

*2024-05-11*

1. No way to record what I ate. 
2. Time cannot be changed if I am recording my food for the day at a later time. It looks like I ate breakfast and lunch at 3 pm. Because that is when I entered it.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2024-02-21*

This is exactly what I was looking for. A very low-fi way to practice mindful eating with the option to track food groups/types and overall healthiness. Plus it doesn’t require ingredient tracking or calorie counting which never works for me. However, I do like stats and this provides that. I like the idea of sticking to the 80/20 rule and this enables me to aim for that.

### 5/5 — liking it

*2023-10-05*

so far liking how simple this is.

### 5/5 — Simplicity is the key

*2023-07-22*

Great little app - very easy & quick to log weight & meals - healthy/unhealthy. It’s a good motivator. Useful graphs to track progress.

### 5/5 — Useful

*2023-06-28*

Very nice app

### 5/5 — LOVE IT

*2023-06-26*

Simply ——> Logging Healthy or Unhealthy without all the fuss of calorie intake. 

Love the simple and new concept of logging food.
