Three foods, one sentence
Say the lot in one go. Each food comes out separately, with the portion you said attached to the right one.
Log a meal in seconds.
Keep it on your phone.
Search 13,521 foods, scan a barcode or just say it. No account, and nothing you log leaves your phone.
Just say what you ate.
“Chicken breast 200g, a cup of rice, tablespoon of olive oil.”
One sentence, three foods, no typing, and it works in aeroplane mode, because both the listening and the understanding happen on your phone.
It knows a gram from a helping
“200g” is 200g whatever it's attached to. “A cup” isn't, so a cup of rice and a cup of spinach don't get the same number.
Your voice never leaves the phone
Recognition and parsing both run on-device. If a phone can't do it locally, Fuel8 refuses rather than uploading the audio.
Nothing is logged until you tap Add
Everything spoken arrives as a proposal on a plate you can edit. Portions it guessed are marked as estimates.
Log a meal four ways.
Three taps from opening the app to a logged breakfast.
Search 13,521 foods
The whole database is inside the app. Results as you type, with no signal needed.
A barcode scanner that works
Point it at the packet. Found once, and it resolves instantly every time after.
Save the meals you eat often
Your usual breakfast, the desk lunch, the go-to dinner. Each one tap, not four searches.
Or just say it
“Chicken breast 200g, white rice, a tablespoon of olive oil.” Recognised on the phone.
Plan ahead. Change your mind.
Cook six dinners on Sunday and enter them once. Food added to a future day stays a plan until you confirm you ate it, and a plan you never confirm counts for nothing at all.
- Any day, up to 14 ahead
- One tap to confirm you ate it
- Plans stay out of your averages and days logged
- Nothing reaches Apple Health until you confirm
- A skipped plan just sits there. No badge, no reminder
- Never confirmed for you at midnight
Built for how the day actually goes.
Logging food fails when it’s slow. Every one of these is a few seconds, one-handed.
It's 7am and you've got one hand spare.
Your usual breakfast is a saved plate. One tap and it's logged, not four searches.
You're stood in the aisle holding the packet.
Scan the barcode. After the first lookup it works with no signal at all.
School run done, hands full, still haven't logged lunch.
Say it out loud and it becomes a list you confirm later. Nothing is logged until you tap Add.
It's 10pm and you never logged Tuesday.
Pick the day and add it. The picker goes back as far as you need to go.

And the research behind the advice.
Long-form pieces where every figure is attributed to a named study. Including the ones that contradict what everybody repeats. The 10,000-step target came from a pedometer advert.

Nothing you log leaves your phone.
Your meals, your weight and your targets stay in an encrypted store on your own device.
No account
No sign-up, no password, no cloud sync. There is no server holding your food diary.
Works offline
The food database is inside the app. Logging a meal needs no connection at all.
No analytics, no ad networks
No tracking SDKs, no ad networks, no third-party code in the app at all. Nothing about you is collected, so there is nothing to sell.
Two connections leave the app, and one is off unless you switch it on. Both are named in the privacy policy.
No streaks. No shame. No scores.
Calorie tracking goes wrong for people in predictable ways. These are enforced by tests that fail the build, not by a policy.
- No streaks to break
- No red failure states
- No food grades or scores
- No projections or goal dates
- Exercise never adds calories back
- Calorie floors it won't go below
“A total across the weeks above, not a streak. A missed day doesn’t reset anything.”
Questions.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up, no login and no password. Your food, weight and targets live in an encrypted store on your own phone, and there is no server holding a copy.
Then why is there a form asking for my email?
Because that form is the website rather than the app. Signing up is optional, and it changes nothing about how Fuel8 works: there is still no account, the app never asks for an email address, and your food diary is never sent anywhere. The list holds a name and an email address, in Mailchimp, so we can send you new recipes and what we add next, and you can unsubscribe in one click. If you’d rather not, download the app and never think about it again. Nothing is gated behind the list.
Does anything leave my phone?
Two things, and you can name both. Scanning a barcode the app hasn’t seen asks Open Food Facts about that barcode and nothing else. Photo estimates. Off and hidden unless you turn them on. Send the photo to an AI provider on your own account and your own key. Neither ever carries anything you logged. The privacy policy sets both out in full.
Does it work without a connection?
Yes. The 13,521-food database is bundled inside the app, so searching and logging work in aeroplane mode. Only a barcode lookup for a product the app hasn’t seen before needs a connection.
Can I export my data?
Not yet. Fuel8 has no export feature today. Everything you log is on your own phone, and Settings has a one-button, offline “Delete all my data”, but there is no export button.
How accurate are the numbers?
Nutrition values come from public databases and may be inaccurate. Calorie and macro targets are estimates from standard formulas and will not be right for everyone, for any one person they can be out by 10% in either direction, which is why every target in the app is editable.
New recipes, as they land.
The app is on the App Store. This is the other thing: leave your name and email and you’ll get the new recipes and what we add next. Nothing else in between.
This form is the website, not the app. Your name and email go to Grow More Services L.L.C-FZ, the company that builds Fuel8, and are stored in Mailchimp so we can email you about new recipes and what we add next. The app itself has no account and asks you for nothing. Unsubscribe in one click, any time.
Fuel8 isn’t the thing being sold.
