You use Apple devices and want free barcode entry, macro goals and manual recipes without ads.
You need a confirmed Android app, or expect photo AI, favorites and Health import in the free plan.
How it works
Foodnoms is a strong option to inspect if you want an Apple-device diary without ads in the free plan. You can begin with barcode scanning or a recipe you build yourself. The distinction between a free saved recipe and a paid favorite is worth checking against how you repeat meals.
Foodnoms+ adds photo and text logging through Foodnoms AI, as well as Calibrated Energy. The latter uses logged food and weight trends to calibrate a calorie goal. Apple Health export is in the free plan, while importing Health data is a Plus feature. Avoid buying based on the broad phrase “Health integration” when the direction of the data matters.
The device list covers iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. That helps if you move between Apple devices, but it is not a cross-platform promise for an Android household. Keep a working free Foodnoms routine if it already covers your meals; pay only when the particular Plus shortcut earns its place.
Free and paid features
The free plan includes unlimited food tracking, barcode scanning, calorie and macro goals, recipes and meals. Foodnoms+ adds AI, favorites, recipe import and Apple Health import. Prices are shown in the app.
Platforms and feature limits
Foodnoms lists iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. Android availability is unclear.
