iPhone · Coming to the App Store

Your whole day, delicious.

A food diary for the whole day, not just the diet part. Honest numbers, 496 recipes, and targets that learn from your own weight trend instead of a formula.

Free to use. Premium never gates logging.

Six things it does, and does now

Every one of these is in the app today. Nothing here is a roadmap item wearing a present tense.

Logging Three ways

In seconds, not minutes

Scan a barcode and it is in. Search by name, with the foods you eat most already at the top. Or quick-add the numbers when you already know them. Ate the same as yesterday? Copy the whole day in one tap.

Sources USDA · barcode

Numbers you can check

Whole foods come from USDA FoodData Central, built on laboratory analysis. Packaged foods come from the barcode, so the numbers are the ones printed on the packet. When a figure is an estimate rather than a lookup, the entry says so.

Recipes 496 dishes

Filtered down to you

Every calorie and gram computed from the ingredients, never guessed. Filter by diet, allergens, time, effort and the equipment you own. Scale to the number of people eating, then send the ingredients to a shopping list.

Targets Premium

They learn you

Calorie formulas are guesses based on averages, and you are not an average. Daylish reads your real weight trend, works out what you are genuinely burning, and adjusts — with a plain-English reason for every change.

Ideas Ranked to fit

What fits, right now

The hardest question in any food diary is "so what do I eat now?" Ideas answers it from your own history and the recipe library, ranked against what is left of your day, at a portion already sized to fit.

The day 37 nutrients

More than calories

Weight trend that follows the trend rather than one bad morning. Water scaled to your bodyweight. Fasting timers from 16:8 to OMAD. And 23 vitamins and minerals against Daily Values, behind a toggle so they are invisible until you want them.

The language model never produces a nutrition number

It is worth being specific, because it is the rule the whole app is built around. AI writes recipes. It does not compute calories. Every calorie and every gram — in a logged food, in a recipe, in a scaled portion — is calculated from USDA FoodData Central by ordinary code.

A photo-estimating feature was built and then deliberately removed. The model has to supply the portion mass, and calories scale linearly with it, so it was the one feature that could produce a confidently wrong number in an app whose entire claim is that it does not.

Actual food, actually cooked

Free is a calorie tracker. Premium is a health app.

Logging, allergen filtering and export are free permanently. Those three are not up for renegotiation later — one is the reason people install the app, one is a safety feature, and one is the difference between your diary being yours and being ours.

Your diary is yours

An account takes an email address and a password. It holds your diary and nothing else: no advertising, no analytics, no tracking, never shared. Everything you log is kept on your phone, so Daylish works without a connection — and it is backed up to your account, so a lost phone does not cost you a year of logs.

Export the lot as a JSON file whenever you like, on any tier. Delete your account, and everything in it, from inside the app.
