Know your Daily Values. Today. DailyLabel shows your nutrition the way a food label does — with your % Daily Value front and center, so you always know exactly where you stand. What makes DailyLabel different: Most trackers bury the % Daily Value or skip it entirely. DailyLabel puts it in its own column, right next to your amounts — just like a real Nutrition Facts label. When you go over 100% on a nutrient, it turns red. No math, no guessing. Key Features: • Two-column Nutrition Facts view — Daily Value amounts on the left, today's % on the right. See your whole day at a glance. • Over-limit alerts in red — Exceed 100% of a daily value and it turns red, just like a real nutrition label warns you. • Free barcode scanning — Scan packaged foods with results from USDA FoodData Central and Open Food Facts. • Ingredients + allergens — Food detail shows more source data when it is available. • iCloud sync — Your data stays in sync across your Apple devices. Private to you — we never see it. • 100% private — No account required. No data collection. Everything lives on your device and in your iCloud. Why Daily Values? The FDA's % Daily Value was designed to help you understand if a food is high or low in a nutrient. DailyLabel applies that same framework to your entire day — so you can see, at a glance, if you're on track or over the line. Download DailyLabel and start seeing your nutrition the way it was always meant to be shown. DailyLabel is free to download and use. Barcode scanning, food logging, and the Nutrition Facts dashboard are all free. DailyLabel Pro is a one-time purchase — no subscription — that unlocks custom nutrient tracking and label customization, add-to-food nutrient editing, nutrition trends, and CSV/PDF export. Note: DailyLabel uses FDA reference values based on a 2,000-calorie diet. For personalized dietary advice, consult a healthcare professional.

Track protein and fiber with the portions you already use. Build a meal from cups, pots and slices, see today's totals, and reuse favorite meals. Spoonlet keeps your daily food log simple: everyday tracking is free, works offline and needs no account. BUILD A MEAL, A FEW TAPS AT A TIME Search more than 13,000 offline food records, with everyday choices first. Add lentils by the cup, yogurt by the pot, or any food by weight in grams or ounces. See protein and fiber for the whole meal as you build it. MAKE NEXT TIME EASIER Recent foods remember your last amounts. Save favorite meals, repeat them in half, one or one-and-a-half servings, and divide batch recipes into portions. COPY YOUR OWN LABEL Enter protein and fiber from a packet per serving or per 100 g. A value that is not on the label stays unknown; it is never silently turned into zero. YOUR WEEK AT A GLANCE See what you recorded each day against your goals, correct a meal without duplicating it, and keep every entry on your phone. GOALS FROM PUBLISHED REFERENCES Set your own daily goals, or let Spoonlet suggest them from cited references: protein from your body weight (0.8, 1.2 or 1.6 g per kg) and fiber from EFSA, WHO or US adequate intakes. Every suggestion shows its source. Your weight is used only for the calculation and never stored. GENEROUSLY FREE Everyday logging, food search, label foods, favorite meals, batch portions, diary history, weekly summaries, export and restore are free. Your first eligible detailed weekly review is free to keep. OPTIONAL SPOONLET PLUS Plus is built around the two nutrients. Close the gap: a menu of familiar portions that would finish today's protein or fiber, each one tap from a new meal. See what carries your week: the top foods and meals behind each number, goal streaks, and 30, 90 and 365-day trends. Share a PDF review with a coach or doctor. Meal folders, tags and covers plus extra themes are included. Choose an annual subscription or a one-time lifetime unlock; prices are shown by your store in your local currency. Annual subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled through your store account. WHY PROTEIN AND FIBER Only about 5% of US adults reach the fiber reference intake, and average intake is around 15 to 17 g a day against a reference of 25 to 38 g. Higher fiber intake is associated with lower rates of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and colorectal cancer in large reviews. Up to 46% of adults over 70 do not meet the protein reference intake, and protein supports muscle at every age. Spoonlet shows both nutrients side by side so the gap is easy to see and easy to close. YOUR DIARY STAYS IN YOUR HANDS Food logging works offline. Spoonlet does not upload your diary and excludes it from automatic device backups. Export a backup before changing phones. Purchases use your app store and RevenueCat; your meal contents are not sent to RevenueCat. Food values and household portions are estimates based on their stated sources or your own labels. Associations reported in nutrition research are not proof of cause. Spoonlet records food and provides general information; it does not diagnose, treat or give individualized dietary advice.
