Bloated, low, or off and not sure which food did it? Morsel answers one question, on your own data: which foods make you feel bad? No calories. No cloud AI. Nothing leaves your phone. While food apps add calorie counts and send your meals to an AI in the cloud, Morsel does the opposite: a calm, on-device mirror of your own food and feelings โ€” and now you can ask it questions ("how's my gut been with coffee?") and get answers built only from your own logs, on your phone. You log meals the lazy way โ€” type "yogurt + coffee + toast", or snap a photo โ€” and Morsel turns it into a quick, confirmable list. A 20-second check-in captures how your body felt: gut, energy, mood, skin, sleep. Soft 1-to-5 dials. No calories. No macros. No weight. No goal weight. No judgment. Then Morsel stays quiet for about two weeks while it gathers signal. After that, it surfaces patterns built only from YOUR data โ€” for example: "On your low-energy days, dairy appeared 2.4x more often than on your good days." An observation, never a verdict. Morsel is the opposite of a calorie counter. The only numbers it ever shows are your own feeling-dials and the pattern multiplier. The same quick logging gesture, the opposite psychology โ€” calm, private, and on your side. Everything happens on your iPhone. No account. No sign-in. No cloud. Nothing you log ever leaves your phone โ€” not your meals, not your check-ins, not your photo. Apple's on-device intelligence only helps read your free-text meal; the patterns are computed on your device, and you can check them against your own logs. A note on what Morsel is: a personal mirror, not a medical device. It notices patterns in your own data. It does not diagnose food allergies, intolerances, or any condition. Talk to a clinician about symptoms. WHAT YOU GET - Lazy meal logging: free text or photo, parsed into confirmable food items - A gentle 5-axis feeling check-in (gut, energy, mood, skin, sleep) - Personal food-and-feeling patterns, found on-device after about two weeks - Pattern detail and a gentle, optional "notice and test" self-observation - Full history of your meals and check-ins - Calm by design: no streaks, no badges, no notifications you didn't ask for FREE TO START Log meals, check in, and see your first pattern for free.
