Morsel

Which foods make you feel bad? Your body knows.

A food & feeling diary for iPhone. Log meals the lazy way — then, after a couple of weeks, see which foods your body reacts to. No calories. No judgment. Everything stays on your phone.

A food diary that counts nothing

Morsel is the opposite of a calorie counter. You log a meal the lazy way — free text like "yogurt + coffee + toast," or an optional photo — and Apple's on-device intelligence turns it into food items you confirm. There is no calorie count, no macro split, no weight, no goal, no "good food / bad food." The only numbers in Morsel are your own.

A 20-second feeling check-in

Once a day, a quick check-in captures how your body felt across five gentle axes — gut, energy, mood, skin, sleep — on soft one-to-five dials. That's it. No streaks to keep, no badges to earn, nothing that punishes a missed day.

Then your patterns appear — from your own data

Morsel stays quiet for about two weeks while it gathers signal. Then it surfaces a pattern card built only from what you logged:

On your low-energy days, dairy appeared 2.4× more often than on your good days.

It's framed as an observation, never a verdict. The correlation is computed by a rule-based engine on your iPhone — not a cloud model, not a guess — and it's the thing a calorie counter and a plain food journal will never give you: your own food↔feeling patterns, surfaced for trigger foods, bloating, reflux, and the symptoms you actually feel.

For people who quit diet apps

Morsel is built for the person who tried MyFitnessPal or Noom and walked away — anyone looking for a food sensitivity tracker, an IBS or FODMAP-style food journal, or a calm intuitive-eating diary that notices patterns instead of ranking your plate. It is a personal-data mirror, not a diagnosis: Morsel never claims to diagnose, treat, or test for any condition. It just shows you what your own logs reveal.

Private, literally

Questions

Does Morsel count calories or macros?
No — and it never will. There is no calorie, macro, weight, or BMI surface anywhere in the app. The only numbers are your feeling dials and the multiplier on a pattern card.
Is this a diagnosis or an intolerance test?
No. Morsel is a personal food diary that notices patterns in your own data. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose food allergies, intolerances, or any condition. Talk to a clinician about symptoms.
What if my phone can't run Apple Intelligence?
Morsel works fully without it. If on-device parsing is unavailable, you type or pick food tags by hand — the check-in, the history, and the pattern engine all keep working exactly the same.
Does my data leave my phone?
No. There is no account and no server. Everything — meals, the optional photo, check-ins, and your patterns — lives on your iPhone. The only network traffic is Apple's App Store for the subscription.
How long until I see a pattern?
Usually about two weeks. Morsel needs roughly seven days of check-ins, with enough days a food was eaten and enough days it wasn't, before a pattern is trustworthy. Until then a calm "still learning" screen counts you up.
