Foodnoms
by Algebraic Labs, LLC
A specifically privacy-first stance — no data sold to advertisers or brokers, ad-free, user choice of storage location — combined with an AI logging feature users call out as unusually good.

What it is
A privacy-focused nutrition tracker for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch, positioned as a simpler, minimal-design alternative to MyFitnessPal. Logging is primarily manual — scan a nutrition label or barcode, or type a short summary — with an AI feature that logs meals from a photo or brief text description (users specifically praise this as "the AI feature is killer"). It syncs via iCloud or an optional Foodnoms Cloud, adjusts goals automatically from connected fitness data, and is entirely ad-free, supported only by subscribers. Free tier available (no account required) optional Foodnoms+ subscription, exact price not disclosed on the site.

Confirmed to have real AI photo and voice logging, contradicting an earlier third-party claim that it lacked AI features entirely — its real differentiator is micronutrient depth (up to 95 nutrients) from a lab-verified database.
The most generous free tier in the category — but its AI features (photo/voice logging) are entirely gated behind Premium, unlike free-AI competitors like SnapCalorie.
Supports four distinct logging modes (photo, voice, text, barcode) in one flow, giving users flexibility rather than forcing one input method.
