Switching from MyFitnessPal?
You're not alone.

MyFitnessPal is powerful, but barcode scanning and newer planning tools sit behind subscriptions. DailyLabel keeps logging simple: free barcode scanning, no account, private iCloud sync, and a $4.99 one-time Pro upgrade.

Questions people ask

Is DailyLabel really free?

The free tier covers daily food logging with Calories plus 10 standard nutrient rows on the Nutrition Facts label, free barcode scanning, editable nutrient values, and iCloud sync. Pro ($4.99 one-time) adds optional label customization from 150+ nutrient definitions, add-to-food nutrient editing, trends charts, and CSV/PDF export. Pro is a one-time purchase and does not renew.

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.

Can I import my data from MyFitnessPal?

Not currently. MyFitnessPal offers report and export tools, but DailyLabel does not import those files yet. DailyLabel has no account requirement and minimal setup, so you can start a new log without creating another account.

Does it work on Android?

DailyLabel is iPhone only right now (iOS 18+). Android and broader platform support are something we're considering based on demand.

What about my privacy?

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.
