About Josh Food Journal
Josh's Food Journal is a nutrition tracker, built for iOS. It's designed to make simple, repeating foods easier to track. The app surfaces the right foods at the right time of day, and lets you multiple items in one go. It's built around your routine, so the more you use it, the faster it gets. Here's what you get with the free tier - Personal Library: Build recipes, set menus and packaged foods. - Custom Pages: Save individual servings as bookmarks for à la carte dining, or add pre-built recipes and set menus for easy access. - Genmoji/Stickers: Give each item in your library a recognisable icon (requires Apple Intelligence). - Offline Logging: Log items from your library, and search the database, without internet. - Advanced Portion Splitting: If certain quantity information is present, you can log by serving, weight, percentage of total container or by items, without doing math. - Database Filters: Use filters to narrow down a search and find specific ingredients. - Database Provenance: Compare in-app nutrition values against the original data. Review sampling methods and assumptions where available. - Apple Health: Two-way sync, so estimates from other apps count towards your goals, and your data flows back out to your preferred analysis tools. - Overlays: Create shareable nutrition image overlays. - Daily Notes: Create a custom note for each day. - Widgets: Automatically jump to the most relevant logging page based on time of day, and preview your nutrition totals directly on your Home Screen. - Recipes: Create recipes by describing ingredients and amounts. Pro unlocks the following features: - Label Scanning: Add packaged foods by scanning compatible nutrition labels from the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. - Express Logging: Quickly log items from yesterday, directly on the main screen. - Additional Nutrients: Track additional datapoints beyond what's supported in the free tier. - Supplements: Track supplemental intakes, with separate upper limits and goals. Compare intakes from diet vs supplements. - Precision Logging: Enter precise weights when logging with pages and bookmarks. - Meal Prep Workflows: Log multiple days/meals in one go. This reduces the number of times you need to open the app each week. - Nutrient Explorer: Find database foods with higher recorded amounts of a certain nutrient, per 100g. - CICO Estimates: Net energy estimates within the charts tab. Compare dietary energy logged with energy estimates from Apple Health.
