A food diary app with home screen widgets
Your calories, at a glance
Put your day on your home screen. MenuMeld's native widgets come in Small, Medium and Large — showing your calorie ring, recent meals and a daily health-score dot. Add a meal straight from an interactive widget, then tap to jump into the app. Works offline, no account needed.
Three sizes, all on your home screen
Pick the widget that fits your layout. Each one is built natively with WidgetKit so it looks like iOS and stays crisp at every size — from a single calorie ring to your whole day.
Small widget · calorie ring
A compact ring shows calories so far against your daily target — the fastest way to see where you stand without opening anything.
Medium widget · meals + ring
Your calorie ring next to your most recent meals, so a single glance tells you both how much and what you've eaten today.
Large widget · full day + score dot
The whole day's meals laid out, plus a daily health-score dot that appears once the score has been computed.
Interactive add control
The AddMealControl starts a new meal entry right from the widget — it also works from Control Center and the Lock Screen.
Tap-to-open deep links
Tap any widget to deep-link straight into the matching screen in the app — your daily plan, a meal, or the dashboard.
Multiple widgets & stacks
Place more than one size, or drop them in a Smart Stack, and arrange your home screen exactly the way you track.
Up to date the moment you save
A widget is only useful if it's current. MenuMeld refreshes on save and on a regular schedule, and reads a local mirror so your numbers are there before the app even opens.
30-minute refresh
WidgetKit refreshes the widgets every 30 minutes on its timeline, so your calorie ring and meals never drift far from reality.
On-save refresh
The moment you save a meal, the widgets are asked to reload — your home screen catches up almost immediately.
App Group offline mirror
Widgets read a shared App Group mirror of your data, so they stay populated even before the main app has launched.
Daily health-score dot
Once your daily health score is available, the Large widget shows it as a colored dot — computed after each meal slot ends, not instantly per meal.
Calorie ring progress
The ring fills as your day goes, comparing intake to your target so you can see at a glance how much headroom is left.
No account · offline-first
Core logging and the widgets work with no account and no connection, reading data stored right on your device.
About home screen widgets
Three native WidgetKit sizes for your home screen. The Small widget shows your calorie ring with calories so far and your target. The Medium widget adds your most recent meals next to the ring. The Large widget shows your full day plus a daily health-score dot once the score is available. Tap any widget to deep-link straight into the matching screen in the app.
Yes. An interactive AddMealControl lets you start a new meal entry without first opening the app. The same control also works from Control Center and the Lock Screen, so you can capture a meal from wherever is fastest. Note that the widgets do not run AI themselves: AI photo recognition and voice analysis happen inside the app and need a connection.
Widgets refresh every 30 minutes on WidgetKit's schedule and also refresh right after you save a meal, so your calorie ring and recent meals stay current. They read a shared App Group offline mirror, which keeps them populated with your latest data even before the main app has launched.
No. Core food logging and the home screen widgets are free and work offline from data stored on your device. You only need a connection and a paid plan for AI features: AI photo recognition and voice input are part of AI Pro at US$9.99/month.
