I feel food: mindful eating
Hunger & emotion food diary
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Diets don't work. You already know that.
I feel food is a mindful eating diary built with psychologists. It isn't about counting calories — it's about understanding yourself: why you eat, how you feel while eating, and how to tell real hunger from an emotion.
A gentle hunger and fullness scale, room for emotions and thoughts, and photos of your meals — everything you need to notice patterns and slowly rebuild a calmer relationship with food. No rules, no guilt.
WHAT'S INSIDE:
• A diary with a hunger and fullness scale
• Emotions and thoughts alongside every meal
• Meal photo tracker
• Calendar and weekly observations about your week
• Smart reminders that adapt to your rhythm
• Streaks to keep the habit going gently
• App lock with Face ID, Touch ID or a PIN
• Three themes: Peach, Milk and Cocoa
I FEEL FOOD PLUS (subscription):
Go deeper into your habits and what's really driving how you eat —
• Connections: personal insights that link your emotions to how you eat
• Weekly insights that uncover the patterns you can't see day to day
• Emotion bubbles that make sense of what you're feeling most often
• Hunger and fullness trends that reveal over- or under-eating
• Meal timing patterns: your rhythm through the day and the gaps between meals
Free trial available, plus a better-value annual plan.
WHO IT'S FOR:
For anyone tired of diets and calorie counting who wants to stop overeating, understand their emotions better, and feel calm around food again. Many people keep I feel food alongside work with a therapist or psychologist.
Start free — the diary and core features work without a subscription.

more This update makes it easier to find support the moment food or feelings become too much to carry alone.
Help, right when you need it
Some days are harder than others, and noticing a pattern is not the same as knowing what to do about it. Profile now has a Support resources page — the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, the ANAD Helpline, and Crisis Text Line, each one tap away to call or text. It's reachable in two taps from Profile at any time, signed in or not, and a quiet link appears under Connections insights that touch on harder moments, so help is never more than a glance away.
A clearer sense of what this app is for
Profile also has a new About section, with a short reminder of what I feel food is for: a place to notice and record how eating makes you feel, not a substitute for professional care. It sits alongside your app version, so you always know what you're looking at.
1.24.0 6d ago
This update makes more of your Connections patterns free to see, and lets you keep the calendar close instead of reopening it every time.
A calendar that stays where you want it
Flipping open the calendar every time you want to check a past day adds up. Now you can pin it to Home instead — tap the pin icon in the calendar popup, and a calendar card stays put among your other cards, ready whenever you are. Swipe between months right there, and unpin it the same way once you don't need it anymore.
More of your patterns, open to everyone
Noticing the patterns in how you eat and feel used to run into a wall partway through. Connections cards — and the ability to turn off any pattern you'd rather not see — are now free for everyone, no subscription required. Your most recent reflections stay free to revisit anytime; I feel food Plus unlocks your full archive. The patterns themselves are also more selective about when they show up, so what you do see is backed by more than just a couple of data points.
1.23.0 Oct 14
This update opens up more of what the app already knows about you — a glimpse of your patterns before you subscribe, a faster way back to any day, and a couple of things now working the way they should have all along.
A glimpse before you commit
Your Visual Report used to be entirely out of reach until you subscribed, so there was no way to know what it would actually show you. Now you get a real look inside it first — enough to see the shape of your own patterns, not just a pitch to unlock them. A badge on the Trends tab lets you know once you've logged enough for something to be worth seeing, and the buttons that take you further in are easier to tell apart at a glance.
Any day, one tap away
Looking back at a specific day used to mean stepping through one day at a time. Now a calendar drops down right from Home, so you can jump straight to whichever date you're curious about, with a clear way back to today no matter how far you've wandered. It opens only when you ask for it, and gets out of the way just as easily.
Patterns that match how you felt
If a pattern about your hunger ever looked backwards — reading "very hungry" on a meal you actually logged as nearly full — that's fixed now. Hunger and fullness are read correctly in both directions, so the connections drawn between how hungry you were and how a meal left you feeling finally line up with what you logged.
Behind the scenes
A rare crash right at startup, on a phone that had been closed for a while, is fixed — so opening the app reliably gets you back to where you left off.
1.22.0 Oct 5
This update pays closer attention to what you tell it — from your first days of logging.
1.21.0 Sep 15
This update meets you earlier — a calmer first day, a fuller picture of your own patterns, and a Connections that's started listening to what you tell it.
A calmer way to begin
Opening the app for the first time now leads with something simple: how are you feeling right now — one tap, no wrong answer — instead of a string of screens to click through first. The next screen is upfront about what this app isn't (no calorie counts, ever), and now carries the logo it was missing. Once you're through, your first entry doesn't just disappear into your history — a small "Add details" hint stays on your Home card until you're ready for it.
A fuller picture of your patterns
Your Trends screen and weekly patterns card now notice more than they used to. You'll see how your meal pace relates to whether you tend to eat past comfortable fullness, whether your hunger check-ins are getting more nuanced over time, and how your emotional vocabulary is widening the longer you keep logging. On harder days, if checking in on your hunger tends to slip, that gets noticed too — gently, as something understandable rather than a lapse to fix. None of this asks anything new of you — it was already there in what you've been logging.
Prompts that meet the moment
The reflection question next to each feeling you log used to be picked at random. Now it's chosen from your own diary — what tends to recur, the time of day, and how you've answered before — so the question in front of you is more likely to actually fit what's going on. It still falls back gracefully when there isn't enough history yet to draw on.
Connections that listens back
When Connections shows you an observation and asks whether it resonates, your answer used to be more or less the end of it. Now that history feeds back in: an observation you've waved off stays quiet for a while, and one that's landed with you before is more likely to surface again. A single answer never swings this on its own — it takes a pattern in how you've responded.
Behind the scenes
Photo uploads are more reliable — a bug that kept re-sending photos that had already uploaded successfully, wasting most of the data spent on it, is fixed. Syncing a long logging history is quicker too, thanks to how entries are now pulled in from the server.
1.20.0 Sep 5
This update makes saving an entry feel instant, turns Connections' careful analysis into something it actually tells you, and treats a missed day or two on your streak as a stumble instead of a reset.
What Connections has been noticing
Connections has always run real analysis on your entries — comparing your enjoyment ratings, checking how often you're checking in comfortably, watching how your meal timing shifts — but it used to keep the result to itself, wrapping everything in the same cautious phrasing whether or not it had actually found something. Now, when a card has a real finding, it says so: how many points happier you tend to feel, how much earlier your first meal has been landing lately, or how a rough stretch shows up as a dip in your ratings. The gentle question at the end is still there — it's just no longer hiding the part that matters.
Logging that doesn't make you wait
Saving an entry used to mean watching a spinner while it made its way to the server. Now it's written the moment you tap save, with the upload finishing quietly in the background, so you're back to your day right away. Adding food is quicker too: items you've logged before now show up as tappable suggestions above the field, and picking photos from your gallery lets you grab several at once instead of one trip per photo. Your home calendar also reflects a new entry the instant you save it, without needing to flip away and back.
A streak that doesn't punish a bad day
Missing a day or two used to feel like the whole streak was in jeopardy. A short break now gets a gentler nudge to pick back up instead of a warning, and it won't repeat itself if it happens again soon after. Tapping a streak notification takes you straight to where you need to be, and reaching day 15 now shows a direct link to see what that consistency has actually done for you.
Behind the scenes
Photos you added to an entry could quietly disappear from a diary you shared with someone else — that's fixed, so a shared link now waits for every photo to finish uploading before it's created. Syncing also holds up better for accounts with a long logging history, pulling your full record in reliable batches instead of one large request that could stall.

1.19.0 Aug 23
This update smooths out a few small frictions that had built up — a streak message that felt like a trap, a reminder prompt that only got one shot, and a settings toggle that quietly went nowhere.
A softer way to decide about your streak
When your streak counter first shows up, you shouldn't have to choose on the spot between committing forever and turning it off. "Keep it on" now sits next to a simple "Not now" — both leave your streak running, while the option to turn it off for good is tucked quietly below instead of competing for your attention. And if you ever sign out and back in, that message won't show up again just because you logged back in.
A better shot at getting reminders
If the first ask for notification permission caught you at the wrong moment, there was no way back in before. Now, as you keep logging entries, iFeelFood checks in again and gives you another chance to turn reminders on — spaced out so it never feels like nagging.
Connections settings that respond
A locked toggle in your Connections settings used to just sit there when you tapped it, with nothing to explain why. Now tapping it takes you straight to upgrading, so you're never left wondering whether something's broken.
1.18.0 Aug 8
The headline of this update: introducing I feel food Plus, a new subscription built to help you finally understand your relationship with food — alongside a gentle new way to notice how your feelings and eating connect, and a clearer path back into your account when sign-in goes sideways.
Introducing I feel food Plus — a new subscription
Ever wonder why some days you reach for food you don't actually want? I feel food Plus turns the entries you're already logging into real understanding: weekly insights that uncover the emotional patterns behind your eating, emotion bubbles that help you name what you're actually feeling, hunger and fullness trends that reveal where over- or under-eating creeps in, and meal timing patterns that show the rhythms of your day. It's the same journaling you already do, now working for you. Start with a free trial, then choose the monthly or annual plan that fits — cancel anytime.
Connections, now part of Plus
It's not always easy to see how your mood and your meals connect on your own — the patterns are there, but they're easy to miss in the moment. A new card on your home screen, included with I feel food Plus, surfaces those connections for you: gentle observations about the feelings that keep showing up around your meals, paced so they never arrive when you're not ready for them. You decide how much of this you want — dismiss any card, or turn individual observations off in Settings.
Getting back into your account
A broken sign-in link or a password reset that goes nowhere is frustrating, especially when you're just trying to check in on your day. Magic link sign-in and password reset now work the way they should, and error messages during sign-in reflect what's actually happening instead of a generic registration failure.
Behind the scenes
Photos you add to entries now save more reliably when your connection is spotty, and icons throughout the app have been unified for a more consistent feel.
1.17.0 Jul 24
Bug fixes and reliability improvements.
## Weekly insights
The weekly card stays visible on your home screen and shows accurate data.
## Entry logging
Interactions when adding and reviewing meals are smoother and more predictable.
## Pattern analysis
Weekly patterns and the emotion arc now calculate correctly.
## Stability
Fixes for photos, notifications on Android 14, and in-app navigation.
1.15.0 Jun 20
Logging a meal is simpler now, and getting started with I feel food for the first time feels more like a conversation than a checklist.
---
## Before and after, in the same place
Opening two screens every time you ate — one to log before, one to return to after — added friction that was easy to overlook until it wasn't. Now before and after eating live on the same screen. Your meal type sits as a chip at the top right; tap it to switch. One place, the whole picture.
---
## Getting started as a conversation, not a form
For anyone setting up I feel food for the first time, the app now opens with a series of short questions about how you relate to food. If you're not sure how hungry you feel before eating — that's a real answer, not a gap to fill in — and the questions that don't apply to your situation are quietly set aside.
---
## Small things that weren't quite right
Streak milestone messages now appear when you're actually on the home screen to see them — before, they sometimes surfaced behind another screen. And the three-month date range now counts back correctly, regardless of which day of the month it is.
1.14.0 Jun 10
Your entries now carry more depth — the emotion section is richer, and the patterns you track are starting to tell you something back.
---
## Your feelings, less crowded
Logging how you felt used to mean scrolling past a row of emotion chips whether you wanted to or not. The section now collapses by default — it's there when you need it, out of the way when you don't. Open it and you'll find more than before: each emotion circle carries a visual arc showing your hunger and fullness level at the time you logged it. Tap any circle and a popup labels your scores clearly, so there's no guessing what a partial arc meant.
---
## When mood and hunger move together
If you've noticed that certain feelings tend to surface when you're overly hungry or uncomfortably full, the Behavior Trends screen now has a section that shows it plainly. It maps which emotions appeared most often across different hunger levels — patterns you may have felt but hadn't yet been able to see.
---
## A read on how much you enjoyed it
The 7-day chart now includes a line for meal enjoyment — whether your food was satisfying, just okay, or something you'd rather forget. Days with no rating show as a quiet midpoint, so the line reflects only what you actually logged. Over a week, you can start to see whether the meals you loved also aligned with how your hunger was doing.
1.13.0 May 17
This update shows you more about your own patterns, makes the app's first impression more considered, and fixes the small things that should just work.
## A read on your week
Once you've been logging for a while, it's hard to step back and see what the data actually says. The Behavior Trends screen now surfaces up to four observations at the top — drawn from your own entries each week, not from a template. Whether your meals have been balanced, how hunger and mood related to each other, or whether your dinner timing shifted. They refresh weekly, so there's something new each time you check.
## A clearer start
If you open the app for the first time and haven't logged anything yet, the eating behavior section now explains what it's for rather than showing you nothing. The opening of the app has also been refined — the transition from splash to onboarding carries the tagline through smoothly, so the first few seconds feel intentional.
## Stories that feel like yours
When you share to Instagram Stories, the design now matches the app's identity: a peach-tinted background, a rounded logo, and the handle for your language — so what you share looks like a choice, not an export. The option to invite others is now permanently visible on your profile.
## Reminders that follow through
Tapping "Set up reminders" used to do nothing in some cases — that's now fixed. Reminders activate the moment you ask for them. And on iOS, tapping a notification from a cold start takes you to the right screen every time.
1.12.0 May 7
This update gives you a reason to keep showing up, a clearer read on how your week went, and a faster path from reminder to entry.
Something to keep you going
There's a particular feeling when you've logged five days in a row and you don't want to break it. That feeling now has a home — a streak counter on your home screen makes your consistency visible, and when you hit a new milestone, the app takes a moment to mark it. If you're just starting, a short intro sets the scene so the motivation makes sense from day one.
A sense of how your week went
At the end of the week, you shouldn't have to scroll back through every entry to understand how things went. The weekly insight card does that reading for you — it shows up when it has something worth saying, compares this week to your own patterns, and gives you a quick read on whether this was a typical week or an unusual one. When you've taken it in, swipe it away.
Your photos, worth a second look
Food photos are one of the best ways to remember what you actually ate. Now they're worth tapping — they open into a full view you can zoom in for detail, and close with a swipe when you're done. It makes revisiting an entry feel less like reading a log and more like flipping through a visual record.
Log it before you forget
When a meal reminder arrives, you want to log the meal — not hunt for the right screen. Tap the notification and you're already there, ready to start. If you're in the app when it arrives, it stays out of your way.
1.11.0 Apr 23
This update brings the most-used parts of the app closer to the surface — a redesigned navigation, a dedicated place for your account, and reminders that work well right out of the box.
A new way to move around
The navigation bar has been redesigned. It now sits in a curved peel shape along the bottom of the screen, with the add button on the right — closer to your thumb. Icons shift from outlined to filled when you're in a section, so it's always clear where you are without having to think about it. The Behavior Trends section now lives here too, but only once you have seven days of entries — so it appears when it actually has something to show you.
Your account, one tap away
A new Profile section gives you a single place to find your account details and settings. Everything that belongs to your account lives there now, out of the way until you need it, and easy to reach when you do.
Reminders that learn, by default
Smart reminders — which pay attention to when you actually eat and suggest times that match your patterns — are now on for everyone, no setup required. They also update each time you add or edit an entry, so the times they suggest stay grounded in what's actually happening in your day.
Behind the scenes
A bug that could create duplicate food entries when tapping save twice in quick succession has been fixed. On iOS, a save that could freeze indefinitely now times out and recovers cleanly — so the app no longer gets stuck waiting after a slow connection.
1.10.0 Apr 4
This update lets the app adapt to you more naturally — whether that's matching your phone's appearance or helping you see patterns in how you feel.
The app follows your phone
You can now let your device decide the theme. Switch on "Follow system" in Settings and the app will move between light and dark automatically as you change your phone's appearance — no extra steps on your end. If you prefer to set it yourself, all three themes (Peach, Milk, and Cocoa) are still right there waiting.
Your emotions, now in the picture
The visual analytics view has a new page dedicated to emotions — rendered as a cluster of bubbles that give you a sense of what you've been feeling alongside what you've been eating. It's an early look at a pattern you might not have noticed before.
Behind the scenes
The color indicators on the calendar for hunger and fullness levels now read correctly across all themes. The time picker in Cocoa mode no longer shows invisible button text.
1.9.0 Mar 26
This update is about that feeling that the app is truly yours. In how it looks, how it behaves, and how it stays out of the way when you just want to write something down.
Your palette, your mood
We’ve added three themes you can switch between anytime:
Peach - warm and familiar, just like before.
Milk - light and calm, with soft mint accents.
Cocoa - dark and cozy, especially easy on the eyes in the evening.
Pick the one that feels right for you - the app will adapt بالكامل and remember your choice.
Navigation that stays out of the way
We’ve quietly refreshed the navigation and Settings screen.
The bottom bar now sits in a soft floating "pill" - it feels lighter and less distracting.
Settings are now organized into clear, structured cards, so it’s easier to find what you need.
Fewer extra steps
We fixed a small but frustrating detail.
Now when you tap into the food section, the keyboard shows up right away.
And it stays open after you add an item - so you can keep logging multiple entries without extra taps.
1.8.0 Mar 21
This update is about feeling safe, staying present, and having a little more ease in your day.
Your space, your privacy
Your journal holds some of your most honest moments. App Lock lets you protect it with Face ID, Touch ID, or a PIN — so it’s always there for you, and only you.
A gentle nudge, on your terms
Sometimes a reminder arrives at the wrong moment. Now you can snooze it right from the notification and come back when you’re ready. No pressure.
Words that belong to a feeling
You’ve always been able to log how you feel. Now you can also write a few words about that feeling — what’s underneath it, what triggered it, what it reminds you of. Because a feeling named is a feeling understood.
See the full picture
Your Visual Report now includes your emotions alongside your meals — because how you feel and how you eat are never really separate.
Behind the scenes
Smoother, faster, and more stable — so the app gets out of your way and lets you focus on what matters.
1.7.0 Mar 12
New in "I feel food": share your journal with ease
We’ve added the ability to share your journal:
