There's more to your food than calories. That banana you had for breakfast? It brought along potassium, magnesium, vitamin B6, manganese, and about 50 other nutrients. Most trackers don't mention them. Nibbled does. Whole foods come from USDA FoodData Central with 80+ nutrients each — vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids. The same data dietitians reference, presented in a way that actually makes sense. Search over 8,000 whole foods, scan barcodes for packaged products, or create and edit your own foods and recipes. Curious which foods in your search have caffeine data? Tap the filter and find out. Sort results by nutrient completeness, calories, or protein to find exactly what you need. Packaged food not in any database? Scan its nutrition label. Nibbled reads the label right on your device — nothing is uploaded — and fills in a new food for you. Values it's unsure of are marked; give the rest a quick look against the label before saving. Set goals for any nutrient, not just the big four. Pin the ones you care about to your dashboard. Set a flexible "Today Only" goal when your plans change. Watch the little celebrations when you hit a target. If you use Apple Health, Nibbled writes detailed nutrient data for every food you log — food name, meal type, and all. Your Health app will thank you. Organize your meals however works for you. Six templates come built in — from a simple list to Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner to a six-slot Grazing mode. Or build your own. Rename everything. It's your kitchen. Your data stays on your device. Always. We don't collect it, we don't see it, we don't sell it. Export it anytime in Markdown, CSV, JSON, or PDF. Share meal templates with friends. Import your data back if you ever need to. Six color themes come along for the ride. Blackberry Jam for late nights. Lemon Meringue for early mornings. Strawberry Shortcake for whenever you're feeling warm. Switch freely — they're all yours. Try Nibbled free for 7 days. After that it's $0.99 a month — or own it forever for $4.99. One purchase, every feature, no recurring cost. The monthly option exists so you can take your time deciding; owning it is the point. No ads, no data collection, either way. And your logged history is always yours to export, purchase or not. · 80+ nutrients tracked per food · 8,000+ whole foods from USDA databases · Barcode scanning with USDA fallback · Nutrition label scanning, on-device (camera or photo) · Custom food and recipe builder · Nutrient filters and sort options · Apple HealthKit integration (nearly 40 nutrients) · Six meal templates with full customization · Personal goals for any nutrient with Today Only option · Duplicate, edit, and move entries between days · Four export formats · Six color themes with ambient effects · Home screen and lock screen widgets · VoiceOver and Dynamic Type accessible · Offline-first — works without internet Data sources: USDA FoodData Central (public domain) and Open Food Facts (Open Database License).
