About Meal of Record

Meal of Record was built with a simple philosophy: your data should be yours, and logging should be fast.

The Philosophy

Most nutrition apps are built around cloud services that require accounts, subscriptions, and constant internet connections. Meal of Record takes a different approach:

• Local first — Your data stays on your phone. Searching, logging, and editing all work without an internet connection. It's faster and more reliable.
• Transparent nutrition — The app prioritizes high-quality reference data (primarily from the USDA) and gives you full control to verify and edit every value.
• Privacy by design — No accounts to create, no tracking, no data sold. Backups go to your own NAS or a file you manage yourself.

Data Sources

• USDA FoodData Central — The primary source for the built-in food library, providing high-quality nutritional data for common foods.
• Open Food Facts — A collaborative, free, and open database of packaged food products from around the world.
