Questions people ask

Is DailyLabel really free?

The free tier covers daily food logging with 11 standard nutrients on the Nutrition Facts label, editable nutrient values, and iCloud sync. Pro ($4.99 one-time) adds barcode scanning, 150+ nutrients, custom nutrient tracking, trends charts, and CSV/PDF export. No subscription ever.

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.

Can I import my data from MyFitnessPal?

Not currently. MFP doesn't offer an easy export. But switching is quick: DailyLabel has no account requirement and minimal setup. Most people are logging normally within a few minutes.

Does it work on Android?

DailyLabel is iOS only right now (iPhone, iOS 18+). Android is something we're considering based on demand.

What about my privacy?

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.
