$4.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Scan any barcode and the nutrition facts fill in instantly. No match? Photograph the label and the numbers are read on your phone. Your data never leaves your device.
TransformationBuddy is a calm, consistency-first sidekick for a body transformation. No account, no ads, and everything stays on your phone.
SCAN ANY BARCODE
Point your phone at a packaged food and the calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber, sugar and sodium fill in before you've put the box down. No barcode in the database? Photograph the Nutrition Facts label instead and the numbers are read on your phone, nothing uploaded.
A FOOD LOG YOU CAN IGNORE
Calorie counting helps some people and hurts others, so it lives in its own tab that you can hide completely. When you want it: 7,800 generic foods searchable offline, meals, favorites, recents, a daily calorie target with a sensible macro split, and a CSV export.
THREE CHAINS, NOT ONE
Daily, weekly and monthly streaks run at the same time. Miss three days and log once, and the weekly chain survives. That's the honest way to model a year-long project. Back-filled days count, and no streak can shame you.
DAY 1 STAYS ON THE LEFT
Your first front and side photos are pinned on the left, forever. Every new check-in lands on the right, with the weight difference between them. A timeline strip lets you hold any past date against Day 1.
THE TREND, NOT THE NUMBER
Raw weigh-ins are dots. The bold line is a 7-day trend drawn against your goal, so water weight stops being a mood. A trend-low readout gives you a number that only moves when something real changed.
A JOURNAL THAT ASKS BETTER QUESTIONS
Weight and tape measurements, yes, but also mood, energy, sleep, water, workouts, and a 1-to-5 cravings scale that asks for a note at every level: what triggered it on a hard day, what was different on a calm one. Rotating reflection prompts, a non-scale victory box, and one thing for tomorrow.
PROGRESS YOU CAN SHARE
A progress-post-style summary (age, height, start, now, weeks) you can copy anywhere, plus CSV and JSON export of everything you've logged.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no sign-up, no analytics, no ads. Everything lives on your phone. The only thing the app ever sends over the internet is a barcode, to the Open Food Facts database, and only when you scan one. Optional Face ID lock keeps your photos out of the app switcher. Built by one person.
Food data: USDA FoodData Central (public domain) and Open Food Facts (Open Database License).
