Alma requires an active paid membership after onboarding. Membership includes access to every feature; there is no free tier or separate feature purchase.
Alma combines fast food tracking with personal nutrition coaching, helping you understand what you eat without judgment or rigid rules.
LOG MEALS YOUR WAY
Track meals in seconds using voice, photo, text, or the built-in barcode scanner. Save foods and meals you use often, edit entries when something changes, and keep your food journal current without tedious searching.
SEE MORE THAN CALORIES
Follow calories, protein, carbohydrates, fats, fiber, and micronutrients such as calcium and iron. Alma Score gives you a simple view of daily diet quality, while trends help you understand patterns over time.
GET GUIDANCE THAT ADAPTS
Ask questions about your meals, get practical suggestions, and receive coaching based on your goals and recent activity. Alma can help with meal ideas, recipes, grocery decisions, hydration, digestive check-ins, medication routines, and GLP-1 nutrition support.
CONNECT THE FULL PICTURE
Connect Apple Health and supported wearables to bring food, movement, sleep, workouts, and other wellness signals together. Alma uses that context to make guidance more relevant to your day.
BUILT FOR REAL LIFE
Alma is designed for consistency, not perfection. There are no ads, public calorie judgments, or shame-based streaks. Missed days do not erase your progress.

As a former gymnast, I’ve always been very aware of what I’m eating. I’ve tracked macros for longer than I can remember, and while it’s never really bothered me to log foods, it is a tedious task. I wish I had this app back then. To have something less rigid and more friendly takes the pressure off and actually makes all of this fun. Beyond that, the more exciting part is the way that Alma can take the information and share what it means and what actionable steps can be taken. What’s the point of all this data if I don’t know what it means? Being proactive and making adjustments on the fly as we continue to learn is amazing. Thank you, Alma!

A former gymnast who actually gets the data side of nutrition. This is exactly who we built Alma for. You nailed it: the data is only as useful as the context around it. Really glad Alma is making that part feel less like homework and more like something you actually want to do.
Read before subscribing, very inaccurate, detailed review
Razzle4792
I’ve been using it for about a month and unfortunately subscribed for the year. :/ I really want to love this app, but the accuracy is terrible. I could give many examples, but I just had what I think is a very clear case today which got me to write this. I typed “1 can of Coke Zero” it put 4 calories, 0g protein, 18g carbs, 36g fat. Obviously this is wrong so I clicked “fix it” and it showed an option that said “Coca Cola Zero” and had the correct 0 cal, 0p, 0c, 0f so I think it’s right. Then I see it has 9mg of caffeine listed when it should be 35mg. My point is this app is pretty terrible at the core function and takes way too much babying to get it working properly. The team is responsive when you report things, but it’s always a band aid for the specific issue and you’ll find many more if you continue to use it. I don’t know how their system works but they need to rely on more tool calling and APIs for standard products that shouldn’t ever be wrong like a Coke Zero and use AI only where it can’t find an answer. Just poorly engineered as a whole, you can’t use a probabilistic solution for a deterministic output unless you have many more checks and balances, which clearly Alma doesn’t have unfortunately. Hoping to find a better app, but will continue using this begrudgingly since I paid for it.

Sorry you had such a difficult experience with this. We dug into the Coke Zero issue, fixed it, and emailed you directly. You should never feel trapped in a subscription that is not working for you. Reply to our email and we’ll help you with a refund.Alma 4.0 is coming in the next couple of weeks with major improvements to tracking speed and accuracy.
Rapid Marked Improvement
DrewJCon
My initial review is left below, so folks can understand the amount of progress the developer has made in such a short period of time. This app has genuinely improved quite a bit since I installed it. The developer is quite active and engaged. More than any other developer I’ve interacted with through the App Store.Many of the food entry issues have been eliminated. In fact, it is a downright smooth process now. AI entry makes tracking easy and therefore leads to better results with understanding your food intake.The Alma score is getting better and resetting correctly, which were needed fixes. The Alma coach is surprisingly helpful.Overall in its current state, it’s great and highly recommended. I think it is probably the best food tracker for removing the tedium of food entry. Its use has become a cornerstone of my day unlike all the other food trackers I’ve tried.Original review below:I bought this on a lark because of the potential. The tracking aspect when it works is a major time saver.Those potentially interested in using this app and subscribing should know that the tracker will magically erase food items previously entered. It will log items at incorrect times frequently. The Alma score doesn’t reset and when you ask the coach it will often gaslight you until you ask it to ACTUALLY look at the data. The nutritional information is always slightly off, so prepare to adjust the numbers if precision is desired.If the developers ever figure out how to eliminate these issues this has the potential to be a really great app. As it stands today, I’d only use as an experiment or those not interested in genuine accurate tracking. We’ll see how it develops. 🙏🏼

Hey Drew, thanks for giving Alma a real shot and taking the time to write this up. The issues you're describing: items erasing, incorrect timestamps, the score not resetting... these are genuinely puzzling to us, because they don't match what we're seeing across the board. That doesn't mean your experience isn't real, it means something specific is going on with your setup and we want to figure out what. We'd love to hop on a call, seriously. Reach out at mango@alma.food and let's dig into this together. The potential you see in Alma? We see it too. We just want to make sure it actually delivers for you.
Valuable insights, not just for weight loss or athletes

I wasn’t sure if I would keep up with this app, but the insights advice, food suggestions, and other reminders have greatly improved my health which motivates me to continue using it. I started using Alma due to insomnia, chronic pain and sinus infections. I thought: could it be my diet? Logging my food has showed me that my diet was very low in magnesium, vitamin C and D. It showed that I had more sugar intake than I thought, and less protein. The side effects of using Alma… I’m drinking more water and taking my vitamins consistently. I’m eating more healthy proteins. I’m even drinking less alcohol because I want to meet my Alma goals.
