Show HN: FitBee – A simpler and more focused alternative to MyFitnessPal

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fitbee-calorie-macro-counter/id6443979108
1•yqiang•2h ago
I was overweight in college and started my weight loss journey using MyFitnessPal. Tracking calories not only helped me lose weight but also taught me a lot about nutrition and helped establish healthy eating habits that continue to benefit me. However, I’ve always been frustrated by the existing nutrition tracking apps. They are slow and bloated, lack accurate nutrition data, or don’t respect user privacy. I wanted to build something that I’d love using myself. A few things that make FitBee stand out:

* Fast, lightweight and to the point - The app is just about tracking your nutrition and makes that front and center. I've tried to make things that you do often as simple as possible.

* Robust Apple Health support - You can read/write data to Apple Health. I wear an Apple Watch so it's great for getting the energy burned through exercises.

* Accurate nutrition data - The nutrition data is sourced from the USDA dataset and nutrition labels off the packages. I also spent effort adding east asian foods (e.g. things you get at 99 Ranch or Weee) to the database, since those were hard to find/track in other apps I've tried.

* Photo Logging - You can take a photo of a food and get an estimate of the calories and macros. It's not 100% accurate but it's been super helpful for me when eating at a restaurant that doesn't have published nutrition info.

* Recipe importing - You can pretty much point any recipe at the app and it'll import the ingredients and generate nutrition information for you. As I got more into fitness, I started to cook more so this has been super helpful.

* No Ads - The app is monetized via a subscription.

* Monetization - Most of the features are free, but there are a few which require a monthly or annual subscription. I also recently added a one time purchase option since a few folks had asked about it.

You can try FitBee here: https://apple.co/4aGUw5X. I'd love your feedback!
