Forkd AI is not JUST a calorie tracking app. Forkd AI is a personal nutrition intelligence app that answers the question: am I actually eating right? Maybe you're wiped out by 3pm and blame your sleep. Maybe you eat "pretty clean" but end up eating too many calories so you don't feel any different. Maybe your cupboard is full of supplements and you're not sure which ones you need. Or maybe you just want to eat well, without having to become a nutritionist first. Despite all the nutrition information available, there’s a disconnect between what your body needs and what you feed it. That’s because nutrition is personal to you and your body. A nutrition label tells you about one product. An AI calorie tracking app tells you a calorie number, protein number or carbs number in your food. Forkd AI tells you: what your body needs, what it's actually getting, and where the gap is. SNAP IT, SAY IT, OR TYPE IT Take a photo, tell Forkie (your nutrition coach) what you ate, or type it in. In seconds you'll see the ingredients, portions, calories, macros, fiber, and 15+ vitamins and minerals. PROTEIN TRACKER & FIBER TRACKER Set a daily protein and fiber target for your body. Protein keeps you full and builds muscles. Fiber keeps your gut happy and energy level steady. Most people do not eat enough fiber. Do not guess. Track them. SEE WHAT A PHOTO CAN'T SHOW Cooking oil. Butter. That drizzle of dressing. Forkd flags the ingredients hiding inside your meal that can add 200–300 calories a day. Correct it once and we remember. Your scan gets it right the next time. SPOT THE PATTERN, NOT JUST THE MEAL One meal tells you very little. A week tells you a lot. Low on iron three weeks running? Fiber stuck at half your target for days? Forkie spots it and suggests one small change: a swap, a snack, a recipe. KNOW WHAT YOUR FOOD ALREADY COVERS Before you buy another supplement, see which nutrients your meals are already giving you. Your next conversation with your doctor starts with real nutrients information. PLAN MEALS THAT CLOSE THE GAPS Build a meal plan from 6000+ healthy recipes filtered by your goals, your diet, and the nutrients you're running low on. STAY ON TRACK WITHOUT THE GUILT Daily and weekly challenges to stay on track. Miss a few days? Forkie doesn't lecture. He just helps you pick up where you left off. WATER AND FASTING TRACKING Tap to log water. Start a fasting timer. See how it all fits with what you eat. EAT FOR THE LIFE YOU WANT Some goals are about this month: steadier energy, fewer afternoon crashes, a weight you feel good at. Some are about decades from now: still hiking, still keeping up with the grandkids. Both start in the same place: knowing what's on your plate today. Eating well shouldn't be harder than ordering a pizza. With Forkd, it isn't. FREE vs FORKD PRO Free: food scanner, meal logging, intermittent fasting tracking, water tracking, 6000+ recipes, meal plan creation, basic calorie counter.

Rhythm helps women live and work in sync with their cycle. Your energy, focus, motivation, training capacity, mood and recovery needs are not the same every day. Traditional productivity apps ignore that. Rhythm is built around a different principle: aim for a rhythm, not consistency. Use Rhythm to track your period, estimate your cycle phase, and log the daily signals that shape how you show up: habits, symptoms, energy, mood, focus, exercise, sleep, cravings and recovery. Then use cycle-aware analytics to understand your own patterns. Rhythm helps you see: - Which phase you are in today - How your habits and symptoms change across phases - When focus, energy, workouts or recovery feel easier - Weekly progress across the habits you are building - Emerging streaks and recurring patterns - Cycle length changes over time - Annual cycle history with top habits and symptoms by cycle The goal is not to force the same routine every day. The goal is to understand your capacity, adjust your expectations, and plan in a way that works with your body. Some phases may support pushing harder, taking on deeper work, training with more intensity or being more social. Other phases may call for slower planning, steadier routines, recovery and lower intensity. Rhythm gives you a private place to observe those shifts and make decisions from your own data. Private by design: your journal entries, period logs and cycle settings are stored on your device. Rhythm is built for personal productivity and wellness tracking, not medical advice, diagnosis, contraception or fertility treatment. Rhythm starts with a 7-day free trial for full access.
