Questions people ask
Does DailyLabel track as many micronutrients as Cronometer?
DailyLabel Pro supports 150+ nutrient definitions and shows values when USDA or Open Food Facts provide that data. Cronometer is stronger for cross-platform analysis, charts, recipes, and long-term reporting; DailyLabel is simpler for iPhone users who want an FDA-style label, no account, and private iCloud sync.
Is DailyLabel available on Android?
No, DailyLabel is currently iPhone only (iOS 18+). Cronometer is the better choice if you need Android, web, or wearable access.
Can I import my Cronometer data?
Not currently. Cronometer offers raw data export, but DailyLabel does not import those files yet and the data models differ. Re-entry is required, but DailyLabel has zero account setup.
Does DailyLabel have a web version?
No. DailyLabel is native iPhone-only right now. Cronometer offers web and Android, so choose Cronometer if cross-platform access is essential.
Where does the nutrition data come from?
DailyLabel uses USDA FoodData Central and Open Food Facts for food lookup data. Source data varies by food, and food results show a source badge so you can review and edit nutrient values when needed. Cronometer uses a curated food database and also supports custom foods.
Is my data private?
DailyLabel does not require an account or collect app data. Your log stays on your device and can optionally sync through your personal iCloud account. Cronometer is an account-based service, which is a better fit when you want its broader cross-platform access.
Is DailyLabel a full Cronometer replacement?
No. Cronometer wins on recipes, web/Android/wearables, long-run reporting, a 2011 track record, and a curated database. DailyLabel wins on no account, an FDA-style whole-day Nutrition Facts label, a $4.99 one-time Pro unlock, and private iCloud. Both include free barcode scanning.
