New: Add notes to meals and remember the context that matters, from how you felt to what influenced your choices.
Make mindful eating easier with one quick healthiness check-in. Add tags or a note only when they help, then see your patterns and streaks emerge over time. No calories, macros, food database, account, or ads.
A food diary should build awareness, not become homework. Moderation asks one simple question: was this meal healthy or unhealthy for you? Over time, those quick check-ins become trends you can understand and habits you can shape.
No weighing every ingredient. No searching through endless food results. You decide how a meal felt, add only the context that is useful, and keep moving.
LOG MEALS IN SECONDS
• Log breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, or your own custom meals with one tap.
• Mark each meal healthy or unhealthy based on your goals, not somebody else's formula.
• Use reminders when they help, with extra nudges available for more accountability.
• Work fully offline, so a weak connection never interrupts your diary.
UNDERSTAND HOW YOU EAT OVER TIME
• Review meals in a clear daily timeline and calendar.
• See daily, weekly, and monthly healthiness patterns at a glance.
• Build healthy-day streaks and get gentle encouragement when you are nearly back on track.
• Explore tag insights to notice which situations, ingredients, places, or routines help or get in your way.
• Follow weight trends with Apple Health, without turning every meal into a calorie calculation.
ADD CONTEXT ONLY WHEN IT HELPS
• Add custom tags for the details that matter to you, such as mood, location, ingredients, or how you felt.
• Add a note while logging a meal, then read or edit it directly from the timeline.
• Create custom meal types that fit your actual day instead of forcing a fixed meal plan.
FIT AWARENESS INTO YOUR DAY
• Log meals with Siri, Shortcuts, widgets, or the Action Button when opening the app would slow you down.
• Ask Siri to show today's logged meals, or use Shortcuts to retrieve meals for a date range and filter them by healthiness.
• Put healthiness, streak, and insight widgets on your Home Screen or Lock Screen.
• Toggle meal notifications from Control Centre and let reminders adjust when your time zone changes.
YOUR FOOD HISTORY STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE
Your food history and meal notes stay on your device. Moderation requires no account, sign-up, or social profile, and it contains no ads.

I've always found these sort of apps a pain to use. They all promise ease of use but somewhere down the line they receive an upgrade that adds way too many steps or silly features and it over complicates things. However, moderation is probably the best app on the market for recording your meals in a simple but intuitive way. It doesn't over complicate what is essentially a simple task of keeping a diary of your meals. The 'nudges' are useful to remind you to record your meals as most days, work and general life get in the way. Would totally recommend you giving this app a try. Kudos to the dev!
Amazing app
EmilyLT
This is exactly what I was looking for. A very low-fi way to practice mindful eating with the option to track food groups/types and overall healthiness. Plus it doesn’t require ingredient tracking or calorie counting which never works for me. However, I do like stats and this provides that. I like the idea of sticking to the 80/20 rule and this enables me to aim for that.
Amazing and so helpful
Ye-old-farm
Really great app, it’s so quick to add & tag meals, which stops it being a burden that you eventually forget to do. Really great!The pro features are definitely worth it as well, gives such a nice insight into how your food patterns actually look. Shout out to the developers for being so responsive, looking forward to future updates!!!
Simple and easy to update!
LazyPorker
Tried other apps to help me track my eating habits but found I lack the time (and in fairness motivation) to update the level of detail they wanted from me. This is quick and easy and still motivates me to eat a little better than I used to!
This update adds meal notes. Add context while logging a meal, then view or edit your note from the timeline.
Also in this release:
- Correct a meal's date and time so your timeline reflects when you ate
- Ask Siri to show today's meals, or use Shortcuts to find meals by date and healthiness
- Faster meal menus and clearer alphabetical tag sorting
- Improved VoiceOver support and clearer purchase screens
- Small fixes make Moderation smoother and more reliable
