Food Moments
I love eating, but tracking what I eat always felt too much like bookkeeping. So I built Food Moments: an iPhone app that feels a little more like Instagram and a little less like a spreadsheet. Take a photo, optionally say a few words, and AI estimates the calories and nutrients. Your meals appear in a personal photo feed, with totals for the day.
It’s a hobby project and a way to explore what it takes to build a complete app with AI coding tools—from the app and backend to privacy and the App Store. I also wanted firsthand experience to draw on in teaching and research.
The app is GDPR compliant, and I won’t look at your meals or other personal data unless you explicitly give me permission in the settings. The only personal identifier you provide is an email address, so you can use Apple’s Hide My Email or create a separate address for the app. You can download your data or delete everything at any time.
The first two weeks are free, followed by a subscription to cover running costs. I’d love to hear what you think!
