The Mindful Meal Planner helps you understand how what you eat connects to how you feel — without noise, judgement, or dogma. LOG IN SECONDS Capture meals, portions and FODMAP tags, plus digestive symptoms — bloating, pain, gas, urgency, energy and mood — on a clean daily timeline. SEE YOUR PATTERNS Your private Garden Row grows a plant for every food: it thrives on your calm days and wilts on your flare days. A daily Harmony Score turns a dozen signals into one clear number you can follow over time. FIND POSSIBLE TRIGGERS, HONESTLY The correlation engine surfaces foods that tend to line up with better or worse days, with plain-language confidence and clear caveats. Associations are not diagnoses. MINDFUL MEAL PLANNER PRO (optional subscription) - Every possible trigger and beneficial food, 90-day trends and weekday patterns - Your full personalized 7-day meal plan, generated from your own data - Guided elimination and reintroduction protocols - A shareable summary for your dietitian or doctor - Monthly $7.99 or annual $39.99, with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation; the subscription auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings. Your logging, history, Harmony Score and the whole low-FODMAP recipe library are always free. The Mindful Meal Planner is a general wellness and journaling tool. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition, and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.

NutriPath Planner turns "what's for dinner?" into a week your whole household can actually eat — planned around every allergy, diet, and goal at your table. SAFE PLANS, NOT GUESSWORK Start right away, no account needed. Add everyone in your household with their allergies, diets, and dislikes. NutriPath builds a week of meals from recipes that clear all of them, and shows you exactly why each meal was chosen — and what it left out. THE ALLERGEN & DIET GUARD (FREE FOREVER) Every plan is filtered against the FDA Big 9 allergens (and the EU 14), expanded through the hidden names each one hides behind. Paste any product's ingredient list into Label Check to scan it in seconds. Safety is never behind a paywall. A GROCERY LIST THAT THINKS Meals become one merged, aisle-sorted shopping list, grouped by the stores you actually use — your farmers' market, co-op, or the shop down the road. Edit a meal and the list updates without losing the boxes you already ticked. LESS WASTE, MORE SEASON Track your pantry and get a nudge before food turns sour. NutriPath leans your plan toward what's in season and what you already have. SEE HOW YOU EAT Streaks, a 28-day plate heat-map, plan-quality scoring adapted from the USDA Healthy Eating Index, and a shareable weekly report. NUTRIPATH PRO (optional subscription) - Unlimited saved plans and full history - The plan-quality breakdown, trends over time, and quality-vs-adherence - Batch-cooking guidance - Ask for a swap: an AI-suggested substitution when the built-in table doesn't cover it Monthly or yearly, with a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. Auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings. NutriPath Planner is a meal-planning and grocery utility, not medical advice. Allergen flags are based on ingredient names only and cannot detect cross-contact or "may contain" warnings — always read the full label.
