Knabberfuchs vs ZiB

Knabberfuchs is a calorie tracker that respects you: no ads, no subscriptions, no popups, no account. Just a fast, honest tool for logging what you eat — and your data stays on your phone. Built because every popular tracker nags with paywalls. This one doesn't, and it never will. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Scan barcodes — instant nutrition from Open Food Facts. Not in the database? Add it yourself by scanning the label, and it's saved for next time. • Search fast, offline — Open Food Facts plus the curated Swiss Food Composition Database, with your own custom foods alongside. • Quick add — already know the number? Log "Lasagna · 816 kcal" in a couple of taps. • Snap a meal — AI meal recognition estimates the dish and portion. It runs on-device by default (no account, no cloud). Optionally add your own Google Gemini key for sharper results with full macros. • Meal from a photo — photograph a printed ingredient list and on-device text recognition turns it into a meal to log. • Recipes — build a recipe once, then log a portion to any day; it's broken back into its real ingredients. Share by QR code or image, import by QR or text. • Day by day — meals group automatically as you add them, with a running total and macros. • Per-weekday targets — set a minimum, a maximum, or both. Training days can differ from rest days. • Offline, worldwide — download any of 106 country databases and search with no connection. • Apple Health — optional, write-only sync of your calories and macros. • Backup & restore — export everything to a ZIP (JSON + CSV) and restore it any time. No cloud, no lock-in. MULTILINGUAL Available in English, German, French and Italian. PRIVACY BY DESIGN There are no accounts, no analytics, no ads, and no trackers. We don't run a server and we never see your data. The only thing that ever leaves your phone is an optional Gemini meal photo — and only if you set up your own key. Everything else is on-device. Food data: Open Food Facts (ODbL) and the Swiss Food Composition Database (FSVO). On-device meal recognition uses the Google AIY food model, bundled and run locally. Made in Switzerland.

Take a photo. That's the whole app. No account. No onboarding. No setup screen asking your goals before it'll do anything. You open ZiB, you photograph your food, and it's logged. FREE. NOT "FREE." No paywall. No subscription. No locked features, no trial that expires, no upsell after your third meal. If you want to help with the running costs there's a tip jar in settings, and it unlocks absolutely nothing. SIMPLE ON PURPOSE One screen. Your meals, and a camera button. That's it. - No streaks - No badges - No notifications telling you that you've broken anything - A day you didn't log is just a day you didn't log HOW IT WORKS Photograph your meal. ZiB works out what it is and how much of it, then pulls the calories and macros from the USDA nutrition database — real published numbers, not invented ones. If it's wrong, tap it and fix it. It remembers, and gets better at the food you actually eat. PACKAGED FOOD Scan the barcode for that product's exact label. If the nutrition panel is visible in your photo, ZiB just reads it. APPLE HEALTH Optional and off by default. One-way: ZiB writes your meals to Health and reads nothing back. PRIVATE No account, no sign-up, no analytics, no ads, nothing sold. Your meals stay on your phone. THIS IS HALF THE PRODUCT The other half is a screenless wristband. It notices you've started eating, buzzes once, and logs the meal when you hover your wrist over your plate and snap your fingers. Nothing to open. Nothing to remember. One purchase. No subscription, ever. zib.band
