Read full description

Munchio is a calm food diary for adults who want to log meals quickly and understand eating patterns without clutter, judgment, or pressure. CAPTURE FOOD YOUR WAY • Take a meal photo • Describe what you ate by voice • Write a natural-language description • Search foods, choose recent foods, copy a meal, or add an entry manually REVIEW BEFORE YOU SAVE Munchio turns supported photo, voice, and text captures into editable nutrition estimates. Review every item and correct its name, portion, calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat before it enters your diary. Estimates are guidance, not precise measurements. NOTICE USEFUL PATTERNS Keep meals and core nutrition in one clear daily view. After enough representative logging, neutral reflections help you notice patterns across days, weeks, and months—without streak pressure or moral food labels. STAY IN CONTROL • Manual logging and food search remain available without a subscription • Raw food photos and voice recordings are processed transiently and are not saved by Munchio • Export your information or delete your account from the app • Declare allergens and foods to avoid for meal suggestions • Nothing is added to your diary until you review and save it PREMIUM Premium members can access additional AI-assisted captures and an optional familiar three-day meal suggestion based on their history and declared preferences. Meal suggestions never log automatically, and “Log this” opens an editable entry. Premium is an auto-renewing subscription purchased through the App Store. Available plans, localized prices, billing periods, renewal details, and any applicable terms are shown before purchase. Availability may vary by account and region. Restore Purchases is available in the app. Munchio is intended for adults aged 18 or older and supports general wellness. It is not a medical device and does not provide diagnosis or treatment.
