Log what you eat. Skip the fuss.

Why I made it

I only wanted to write down what I ate.

What it does

The short list.

1. 01

   A day, five meals.

   Breakfast, Lunch, Snacks, Dinner and Additional. Each meal shows its kcal and macros, and the day adds them up. Swipe left and right to move between days.

2. 02

   Find a food fast.

   Search Italian products from Open Food Facts, a set of common foods and your own foods, all in one place. Before you type, your recent foods are already there, and one tap on + adds the amount you had last time.

3. 03

   Scan the barcode.

   Point the phone camera at the package. If the food is known, you pick it. If not, you create it with the barcode already filled in.

4. 04

   Type the label as it is.

   The label says "per 40 g bar"? Enter those numbers and the portion size. mangio does the math and stores it per 100 g. You can also save one named portion, like "1 biscuit = 8 g".

5. 05

   kcal come from the macros.

   You never type calories for a food. They are always worked out from carbs, fats, protein and alcohol (4, 9, 4, 7 kcal per gram), so they can't drift out of sync.

6. 06

   Or take a photo of the label.

   mangio reads the name and macros from a photo of the nutrition label, and you check them before saving. The photo goes to an AI service that reads it once. It isn't kept.

7. 07

   Copy meals and days.

   Same breakfast every weekday? Copy a meal or a whole day to other days in one go. A copy only adds, it never overwrites what you logged.

8. 08

   A week at a glance, and your weight if you want.

   Home shows your daily averages for the week. You can set a daily macro goal, and log your weight once a day to see how it moves next to what you eat.

The screens

Adding food takes a couple of taps.

What it does not do

Left out on purpose.

1. ×

   No cups, spoons or ounces.

   Everything is in grams. A food can have one named portion, and that's it. Long lists of units are the fuss I wanted to get away from.

2. ×

   No typing calories.

   kcal are always computed from the macros, so there is no second number to keep right.

3. ×

   No vitamin and mineral charts.

   mangio tracks carbs, fats, protein and alcohol. Nothing else gets in the way of logging.

4. ×

   No plans or targets made up for you.

   No profile quiz, no recommended diet. If you want a goal, you set your own daily macros. mangio can estimate what you burn from your body data, and the rest is up to you.

5. ×

   No feed, no friends list, no badges.

   It's a notebook for your food, not a social network.

6. ×

   No workouts or step counting.

   mangio is about food. Use whatever you like for training.

7. ×

   No passwords.

   You sign in with Google and a passkey. No password to remember or to leak.

8. ×

   No app store needed.

   It runs in the browser on your phone or computer. Add it to your home screen and it feels like an app.

How the beta works

Small groups, and honest about what comes next.

1. Leave your email.

   That's all I ask. I use it only for the beta and the launch.

2. I invite small groups.

   A few people at a time, so I can read every bit of feedback and fix things fast.

3. Use it for real.

   Use mangio every day and tell me what bugs you.

4. Hear first at launch.

   When mangio launches, testers hear about it first. No ads, and no selling your data.

5. Tell a friend.

   If you know someone who tracks their food, send them this page. That's how small apps grow.
