Operation: Solid Food
Baby food & allergen tracker
$4.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Which foods has your baby actually tried? How many times? Did that rash follow the egg or the strawberry — and was it a Tuesday?
You will not remember. You are running on four hours of sleep. Operation: Solid Food remembers for you.
FIVE TASTES, NOT ONE VERDICT
Little palates need repeated exposure, so every food is a five-taste campaign rather than a one-and-done rejection. Tap a dot, log the taste, watch the map fill in. The spinach that hit the floor on Monday is the same spinach that gets requested by name in March.
REACTIONS ON RECORD
Favorites, dislikes, and foods to avoid — each flagged with the dates and your own notes. When the pediatrician asks "when did you introduce peanut, and what happened?", you have the answer instead of a guess.
THE ALLERGEN ROSTER — WHEN DID SHE LAST HAVE PEANUT?
The nine major allergens are marked throughout, so you can introduce them deliberately. Then the part nobody else does: the roster shows when each one was last actually eaten, longest gap at the top, so nothing quietly drops out of the rotation for a month while you were busy. It sets no schedule and never nags — how often they come back is between you and your doctor. It just keeps the answer.
FAMILY SYNC — EVERY CAREGIVER, ONE RECORD
Invite the other adults in your child's life by Apple ID and every device stays in step. Anyone can log while offline, in different rooms or different time zones, and the record merges honestly when you reconnect: no taste lost, no note overwritten. Sharing is invitation-only, and you can revoke access at any moment. Family Sync runs on your own iCloud, so everyone you invite needs an Apple ID and an iPhone or iPad.
WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG
A reaction is not a dislike, and the app stops pretending otherwise. Record what happened in your own words and how long after eating it started; the food is flagged, quietly, with no confetti and no badge for it. Whatever your doctor told you goes on file too, in your words, and prints under exactly that heading.
THE COMMAND CENTER
Put the whole family board on a big shared screen — the fridge panel, a kitchen tablet, the desk monitor. Open command.solidfood.app on that display, sign in with the same Apple Account, and it is all there: live, editable, and in sync with every phone in the house. No install, no separate account. (One Apple limitation, stated plainly: accounts with Advanced Data Protection turned on cannot sign in to any CloudKit web page, including this one. The iPhone and iPad app is unaffected.)
MORE THAN ONE CHILD
Each gets their own board, badges, and streaks. Switch between them with a tap.
BADGES AND A MORNING BRIEFING
First Contact. Ten Tried. A category complete. Small ceremonies, because feeding a baby is relentless and deserves some — and the briefing has an off switch for the days you would rather just open the board.
DOCTOR-READY IN ONE TAP
One page, laid out the way a visit goes: your child's age and the period covered, your plan as you reported it, every major allergen with the date it was first and last eaten, then reactions — before preferences. Export the complete record as JSON too, and import it back later. Your data leaves only when you decide to send it somewhere.
NO OUTSIDE SERVERS. EVER.
This is the part we care most about. Your family's food record lives on your devices and, if you enable Family Sync, in your own private iCloud. We run no servers, hold no accounts, and ship no analytics, advertising or tracking SDKs. There is nothing of yours to sell, and we could not read your notes if we wanted to.
A COMMUNITY DOING THE SAME THING
Every household is running this roughly six months apart. Trade notes, ask the question you feel silly asking, and help shape what gets built next — solidfood.app has the Discord link.
Pay once. No subscription for the core app, ever.
Operation: Solid Food is a feeding journal, not medical advice. Introduce one food at a time, watch for reactions, and talk to your pediatrician.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Five updates' worth of new gear, arriving together!
- Your child now holds a rank. Nine rungs from Unseasoned Applicant to First Lord of the Pantry, earned by foods tried, with insignia on the roster, the certificate, and the campaign report. Promotions announce themselves. Ranks only ever rise.
- The Ceremony Press: mint a commissioning certificate for your operative, a campaign report with the whole food map in color, and a shareable citation card for every badge earned — drawn without a scrap of app chrome, made for sending to grandparents.
- On This Day: on the right morning, the daily dispatch sets the fiction aside and speaks from your own record — "one month ago today: first contact, avocado." Firsts and masteries only.
- Field Dispatch: a home-screen widget with the day count and today's line from the department (iOS 17 and later).
- The daily dispatch line now leads the board — the day counter's permanent home, plus a rotating line of departmental reporting that both parents read the same way.
- Installed on a second device with the same Apple ID? The welcome screen now offers to pull your own family record onto it.
- The badge rack wears its highest honors on top, the campaign report carries a real ribbon rack, and the food map travels with its own legend.
- On phones, every food is back to one clean line with its name and taste dots together. The favorite and avoid marks now live in each food's file — tap the name and they're right there. Tapping a food's name opens its file from the list view, too.
- The food map centers its honeycomb; iPads get the wide board with more columns.
- Brighter fine print throughout: every line of the pressed documents clears a measured readability floor.
As always: no accounts, no analytics SDKs, no servers of ours. Your record stays on your devices and in your own iCloud.
