## What is Pinch?

Pinch is a no-fluff food and macro tracker. Free forever, no ads, no
accounts, no upsells, no engagement tricks. Every meal, food, and
weight you log stays on your device.

LOG A DAY
• Free-form named meals — Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snacks, or
  anything you want to call it.
• Each meal holds a list of food entries with their amounts and
  per-meal totals.
• Optional time of day per meal — sort by time, or by drag-to-reorder
  when you don't care.

FOOD LIBRARY
• Each food stores its per-100 g or per-100 ml nutrient values, plus
  an optional named serving (1 slice = 30 g, 1 cup = 240 ml).
• Adhoc entries for one-off foods that don't earn a library spot —
  type the name and nutrients straight into the meal.

NUTRIENTS YOUR WAY
• Default macros — Protein, Carbs, Fats, Calories.
• Add your own — Sodium (mg), Vitamin C (mg), Fiber (g) — any unit.
• Each nutrient gets a badge color of your choice.
• Optional per-nutrient daily goals with a direction: reach-or-exceed
  for protein, stay-under for everything you want to limit.

DAILY BUDGET
• When goals are on, a Budget card at the top of Today shows how
  much you have left of each goal-tracked nutrient.
• Pastel green when you're meeting the goal, pastel red when you've
  drifted past it.
• Trophy + streak counter for days you hit every goal.

CALENDAR
• Month view with a logged-day dot and a trophy mark for days you
  met every goal.
• Tap any past day to see the same Today layout for that day.
• Current and best streaks at the bottom.

ANALYTICS
• Per-nutrient line charts over 1W / 1M / 3M / 1Y / custom ranges.
• Body weight chart with a per-week trend line for ranges over
  two weeks.
• Per-meal filter (only count breakfast, only count dinner, etc.).
• Drag-reorder chart order. Hide what you don't care about.

BODY WEIGHT
• One tap to log your weight on any day.
• Surfaces in Analytics alongside your nutrients.

YOUR DATA, OUT OR IN
• Export everything to a single JSON file via the share sheet.
• Import a JSON export to restore on another device or after a
  reinstall.
• No cloud, no account migration dance. You own the file.

WHAT PINCH WILL NEVER DO
• No ads.
• No "Pro" upgrade.
• No accounts.
• No analytics or telemetry.
• No network requests.
• No engagement loops beyond the optional streak you opted into.


## Version history (last 2 releases)

  previous day if you crossed midnight while the app was open.
