The best diet app for the Apple ecosystem
Native to every device you own
MenuMeld isn't a web wrapper. It's built end to end on Apple's own frameworks — SwiftData, iCloud sync, home & Lock Screen widgets, the Dynamic Island, Siri, HealthKit and Apple Watch. Offline-first, private by design, and right at home on iPhone and iPad.
Native, not a wrapper
Every part of MenuMeld uses the framework Apple intended for the job. That means it feels fast, looks like iOS, and respects your privacy with on-device storage.
SwiftData storage
Your meals, templates and settings live in a SwiftData model on-device — fast, typed, and ready to query offline.
iCloud / CloudKit sync
Sign in once and your diary syncs across iPhone and iPad through iCloud. No separate account, no third-party cloud.
WidgetKit widgets
Small, Medium and Large home-screen widgets show your calorie ring, recent meals and health-score dot, plus Lock Screen widgets.
Dynamic Island Live Activity
ActivityKit shows the progress and result of AI auto-meal analysis right in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen.
Keychain security
Auth tokens are kept in the Apple Keychain, and core features work with no account at all.
iPad universal
One universal app that adapts its layout for iPad, including a side-by-side date rail for the daily plan.
Wired into iOS the way you'd expect
Log from Siri, glance at a widget, ask the Watch to add water, and let Apple Health tune your targets. MenuMeld lives where you already are on Apple devices.
App Intents & Siri
Five built-in intents let Siri and Shortcuts check calories, count meals, read the health score, look up any nutrient and add a meal — hands-free.
Apple Watch water
WatchConnectivity lets you log water from your Apple Watch, and it shows up instantly on iPhone.
HealthKit activity
With permission, MenuMeld reads Apple Health activity to dynamically raise your calorie and water targets on more active days.
Interactive controls
The AddMealControl works from Control Center and the Lock Screen, and widgets refresh on save and every 30 minutes.
On-screen awareness
On iOS 18.4+, Siri can answer questions about the meal currently on your screen, including its full nutrient breakdown.
App Group offline mirror
Widgets read a shared App Group mirror, so they stay populated even before the main app launches.
