Understand which eating habits suit you through patterns from your own meals and wearable data. KeepEatClean brings your food diary and wearable history together on your iPhone. Log what you eat, correct the details, and explore how nutrition and meal timing line up with your own sleep and recovery. BUILD A FOOD HISTORY YOU CAN CORRECT Log meals with a photo and edit your meals and portions. A useful history starts with records that reflect what you actually ate. LOG FROM YOUR APPLE WATCH The companion Apple Watch app in version 1.22 brings quick logging to your wrist. Tap a usual meal or water, save a meal time with Eating now, or say what you ate and confirm the estimate. KeepEatClean on iPhone is required for setup and meal estimation. Watch-face complications put your daily context close to hand. BRING IN YOUR WEARABLE DATA Connect Apple Health or use the separate WHOOP integration. Available sleep, HRV and recovery information depends on your connected sources. Apple Watch data connects through Apple Health. EXPLORE FOOD × BODY PATTERNS Look for associations across days when both food and body data are available. KeepEatClean shows learning progress when there is not enough history. Patterns need at least 12 paired days and additional evidence checks. Reaching 12 days does not guarantee a finding. No clear pattern is a valid result, and an association does not establish cause and effect. START WITH THE FREE TIER KeepEatClean offers a free tier and an optional Pro subscription. Review the current features and subscription terms inside the app. Your meals. Your wearable history. A clearer view of your habits. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: HugTime at daily against KeepEatClean's every 6 days. HugTime also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). KeepEatClean's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HugTime sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and KeepEatClean sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for HugTime against 5.0 for KeepEatClean. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KeepEatClean has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
HugTime ships an update daily, KeepEatClean every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
