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 remains the better fit if you want a mature cross-platform analysis suite, custom recipes, and deeper long-term reporting. DailyLabel is for people who prefer a simpler iPhone app with an FDA-style label and private iCloud sync.
Is DailyLabel available on Android?
No, DailyLabel is currently available for iPhone only. Cronometer is the better choice if you need Android, web, iPad, or Apple Watch support today. But if you're primarily on iPhone, DailyLabel is designed specifically for that native experience.
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, so most people are logging normally within minutes. Food history rebuilds quickly once you establish your routine.
Does DailyLabel have a web version?
No. DailyLabel is native iPhone-only right now. Cronometer offers web and Android, so if cross-platform access is essential, Cronometer is the better fit.
Where does the nutrition data come from?
Two sources: USDA FoodData Central (government-verified, the same database dietitians use) for whole and raw foods, and Open Food Facts (millions of barcoded products worldwide) for packaged items. Every food shows a source badge so you know where the data came from. Cronometer also uses USDA data plus proprietary entries from its longer track record.
Is my data private?
DailyLabel is local-first. Your data stays on your device and optionally syncs via your personal iCloud account. No account required, no third-party analytics, no data selling. Cronometer requires account creation and stores data on their servers, which is fine for many users, but not ideal if privacy is your top concern.
