Why switch to healmeal instead of Yazio.
Yazio ships a lot: recipes, fasting plans, weekly meal structure. healmeal ships less, on purpose. One thing it does (logging) and a few iOS-native surfaces around it (widgets, personalised notifications) that keep the habit going past month two.

Why pick healmeal
Yazio is great if you want recipes and structured plans inside the same app. healmeal is great if you already know what you want to eat and want logging out of the way.
What you get with healmeal
Yazio's recipe library and fasting plans are well-built, but each additional surface is one more decision on a busy day. healmeal stays narrow on purpose. No recipe library to maintain, no fasting timer to forget, no plan logic to obey. Just logging, made as fast as it can reasonably be.
The camera identifies a plate in seconds. The menu scanner reads any restaurant menu and ranks the dishes that fit your remaining macros. The barcode is there for packaged food. Verbal description handles whatever the camera can't see. Whichever is fastest for the moment you're in.
What keeps the habit alive is what happens between meals. Thirteen iOS widgets put today's calories and protein on the home screen and Lock Screen, so you stay on track without opening the app. Personalised notifications fire when you're behind on a target, not on a calendar. The result is a tracker you can keep up with on day ninety, not just the first week.
Switch to healmeal.
Snap a photo, scan a barcode, point at a menu, or describe a meal in words. Whichever is fastest. On the App Store.
