Hey everyone! I'm the indie maker of FoodNoms, a nutrition tracking app for iPhone, iPad, and macOS.

The nutrition tracking space on the App Store is extremely competitive. FoodNoms differentiates itself with its focus on design, user experience, and data privacy. It’s also extremely customizable with the ability to track specific goals for calories, macronutrients, and sixteen other nutrients.

Two years ago, I launched the first version of my food tracking app, FoodNoms, and shared it with you all here on PH. Since then, I've been continuously iterating on the product and food database.

Today I'm excited to share with you the biggest update to the app yet – what I have nicknamed "FoodNoms 2". This update delivers many of the top-requested features that the app has received over the years and more.

- New design for the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac (Catalyst). - Sync nutrition data from other apps via Apple Health. FoodNoms 2 implements a robust syncing solution that allows users to pull in data from other apps and devices. e.g.: - Smart water bottles (e.g. HidrateSpark) - Meal subscription services (e.g. HelloFresh) - Other food tracking apps (e.g. Lose It!, MyFitnessPal, etc.) - iCloud data encryption. FoodNoms now automatically encrypts your food log, library, meal types, and goals before uploading to iCloud. And with Apple’s newly announced Advanced Data Protection for iCloud enabled, this data is also end-to-end encrypted. With this level of security, never worry again about who might have access to what you eat. - Custom meal types. Configure custom meal types (e.g. “dessert”) to organize your food log and make it easier to log repeated meals. - New favorites bar. Save your favorite foods, recipes, and meals with custom icons for quick-and-easy logging. - Nutrition goal recommendations for macros, fiber, saturated fat, sodium, water, and more. These recommendations are based on published dietary guidelines from the USDA, HHS, and CDC. - More powerful goals. Track your calories with an automatically adjusting goal based on your body profile and energy data from Apple Health. Set percentage-based goals for your macros. - New database search backend. Find the right foods faster with improved search results. - And more. The update includes many other various improvements and features, including CSV export and a smarter “Smart Suggestions” algorithm.

All of the above-listed features will be available to all users for free, except the following, which will require a FoodNoms Plus subscription: custom meal types, favorites bar, syncing nutrition data from Apple Health, and using resting energy data from Apple Health. FoodNoms Plus also unlocks other features including drink logging, water tracking, caffeine & alcohol tracking, and more charts and stats.

To celebrate the launch here on Product Hunt, I'm extending a special discount to you all: $19.99 for the first year of new subscriptions (33% off). Use this URL to redeem: https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ct...

It's my mission to help others achieve their nutrition goals – whatever that might be: losing weight, gaining weight, improving heart health, managing sugar, etc. I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions about how I can make the app work better for you.
