Fituous is a nutrition tracker for iPhone and Android that doesn't charge you rent. You buy it
once. Your diary lives on your phone, not on somebody's server, and nobody sends you a bill
for the data you typed in yourself.
One purchase. No recurring charge, ever. No price on this page either, because your app store
sets it for your region.
The whole day on one screen.
You've probably already met the usual deal
Free to download. Three days of the good version. Then a paywall between you and the food
you've been logging for a month. Your own entries, held just out of reach until you
subscribe. Then the price goes up, because it can.
The usual deal
Free trial that quietly becomes a monthly charge
An account, an email, a password to remember
Your food diary stored on their servers
Ads, or an upsell to remove them
Your own history paywalled behind a tier
Export is a premium feature, if it exists
Cancel, and you lose access to what you logged
Fituous
Pay once, and that's the whole transaction
No account. There is nothing to sign up to
Your diary is stored on your device
No ads, and nothing to buy to remove them
Every feature is the feature you bought
Your data is yours from the first entry
Nothing expires, because nothing is rented
The arithmetic nobody shows you up front
A tracker at $9.99 a month is about
$120 a year, and roughly $360 over three years. More than
most people spend on the phone they're logging on. Subscriptions aren't evil; some things
genuinely need ongoing work to run. A food diary mostly needs to store the numbers you
typed. That's a one-time problem, so it has a one-time price.
That figure is an illustration, not a claim about any particular app. Check what you're
currently paying: your app store's subscription list will tell you in ten seconds.
What you actually get
A complete tracker, not a demo with the useful parts locked behind a subscription.
Logging
Log it in seconds, not minutes
Scan a barcode, search by name, or type it in yourself. Barcodes resolve against Open
Food Facts and nutrition data against USDA FoodData Central, with the source printed on
the screen so you can see where a number came from.
Amounts in grams, ounces, fluid ounces or servings, converted for you
Saved foods keep the values you corrected, and you can update them again
Meals group the day, and a saved meal logs again in one tap
Every result shows its source and its serving options.Breakfast, lunch and dinner, each with its own total.
Progress
Progress that tells you the truth
Calories against your target, a heat map of the month, and a weight trend over eight
weeks. Underneath every chart is the number most apps leave out:
how many days it was actually based on.
Switch between week, month and year views of the same data
Days you didn't log are shown as empty, never as failures
Best day and average calories, so a good week is visible at a glance
Week view: every logged day, and the average.Month view: a heat map, and how much of it you logged.
Micronutrients
Vitamins and minerals, with the gaps left visible
Calorie counting misses most of what food does. Fituous tracks the vitamins and minerals
you care about, with your own targets and a running total against them.
Personal targets, marked for you where they differ from the default
Upper limits shown alongside targets, not hidden behind a warning
A vitamin with no data reads no data, because a gap is not a
deficiency
Targets, upper limits, and honest gaps.
Hydration
Water that knows your glass
Log a glass, a bottle or a flask, sized to your own containers rather than someone
else's idea of a serving. Switch between millilitres and ounces whenever you like.
Your container sizes, saved as presets you tap
A fill-level meter instead of another number to interpret
The week's hydration at a glance, so a good run is obvious
Millilitres or ounces, and your own containers.
Theming
Light and dark, included
The whole app follows your system theme. It is not a setting hidden behind a subscription,
because a dark background is not a feature you should have to rent.
Every screen is designed in both, including the charts
No upsell, no "pro" theme pack, no nag to unlock it
The same screen, in the light theme.
Health platforms
It works with the health app your phone already has
Fituous reads your workouts and weigh-ins out of the platform your phone already keeps
them in, and writes back what you log, so the two stay in step.
On iPhone that is the Apple Health app, through HealthKit
On Android that is Health Connect, which ships with Android 14 and up
Access is read and write, and you can revoke it in the health app whenever you like
Works with Health Connect

Where your data goes: nowhere
Every claim here is a design decision in the app, not a policy paragraph.
No account
There is no sign-up, no email, no password. Your diary is stored on your device, so there
is no server holding a copy and nothing to breach.
Voice stays on your phone
Speech is recognised on-device. Fituous refuses the server route outright: on a device that
can't do on-device recognition, it says so instead of quietly uploading your voice.
No ads
No adverts, no ad SDKs, nothing to pay to make them stop. You already paid.
No tracking or analytics
No analytics, no crash telemetry, no cookies on this page either. Nobody is counting how
long you looked at the subscription section.
Health data is read, never written
When you import workouts or weigh-ins from Health Connect or Apple Health, access is
read-only. Fituous never adds to or changes your health records.
Public data stays public
Food data comes from Open Food Facts and USDA FoodData Central. Nothing derived from it is
sold, resold, or bundled into anything for sale.
No. You buy Fituous once and every feature is yours. No trial that converts, no premium
tier, no "pro" version waiting behind a paywall, and no recurring charge to forget about.
How much does it cost?
A single one-time purchase, priced by the app store for your region. There is no figure on
this page because a number here would be wrong somewhere in the world, and because a
one-time price doesn't change when you're not looking.
What happens to my diary if I stop using it?
It stays on your device, because that's where it always was. Nothing is deleted for
non-payment, and there is no account that lapses.
Why does voice need on-device recognition?
Because the alternative sends your audio to a server. Both platforms default to that, so
Fituous asks for the on-device path and declines to listen at all if it isn't available.
On older Android versions that means voice logging is unavailable, which we'd rather tell
you than quietly break the promise.
What's in beta?
Voice Builder, and it's labelled BETA wherever it appears. It's honest about its limits: it
shows you what it heard and what each item resolved to before logging anything. Everything
else is finished, shipped and included.
Which platforms?
iPhone and Android. There's no web app: the diary lives on the device, and a browser tab is
the wrong place for it.
Is this medical advice?
No. Fituous counts what you tell it and shows you the arithmetic, including how much of
the month you actually logged. It points out patterns, never causes, and it isn't a
substitute for a doctor or a dietitian.
Buy it once. Then just use it.
No subscription, no account, no ads, no tracking, and no reason for anyone to keep billing
you for numbers you wrote down yourself.
