Track fiber, not calories

Calorie apps are the wrong tool for a fiber habit

Most food trackers make you weigh, count, and confess everything just to answer one question: did I get enough fiber today? FiberTally is built the other way around. It tracks one nutrient well, keeps the log on your phone, and treats a missed day as a data point — never a failure state. Search quality does the heavy lifting: type “apple” and you get an apple, not a branded fiber bar.

What FiberTally does

Everything below ships in the version now sitting in Google Play review.

1. 01

   A daily ring and a gentle ramp

   One ring shows grams logged, grams remaining, and your goal for today. Onboarding asks where you're starting from and builds a ramp that raises the target gradually over two to three weeks, because jumping to a high-fiber diet overnight is the classic mistake.

2. 02

   Whole-foods-first search, 900+ USDA foods

   The local food catalog is built from USDA FoodData Central with realistic household servings — cups, tablespoons, a medium pear — plus synonyms like garbanzo/chickpea and fiber/fibre. Plain whole foods rank above noisy database variants, so logging takes seconds.

3. 03

   On-device nutrition-label parsing

   Type or paste the text of a Nutrition Facts panel and FiberTally pulls out the dietary fiber grams, asks you to confirm servings, and logs it. It runs entirely on your phone — no photo, no upload, no cloud AI.

4. 04

   Saved meals and quick logging

   Build meals from foods you actually eat and log your usual breakfast in one tap. Meal tags, half/double portions, gram-based portions, recents, and frequent foods keep repeat logging near-instant. Logs stay editable, with delete-and-undo.

5. 05

   Gut check-ins and honest insights

   Optional one-tap check-ins for digestion, bloating, and energy sit alongside a 7-day chart, your average, goal days, plant-diversity count, and an estimated soluble/insoluble split — clearly labeled as an estimate, because source data for the split is genuinely incomplete.

6. 06

   Doctor-ready export, local backup, 36 languages

   Share a clean CSV with a dietitian or doctor, keep a local JSON backup, and restore it later — all without an account. The interface is translated into 36 languages, including right-to-left Arabic and Hebrew.

   Core logging, insights, and exports are free. An optional premium unlock (monthly, yearly, or one-time lifetime) extends history beyond 7 days and saved meals beyond three.

What FiberTally refuses to do

A fiber habit app should not feel like a weigh-in. These are deliberate omissions, not missing features.

• No calorie counting by default
• No weight tracking, ever
• No before/after weight-loss content
• No cloud AI photo scanner guessing at your plate
• No red “failure” states for missing a day
• No spammy notification streaks — only light, local nudges

Fiber, explained plainly

Evergreen guides built on public nutrition sources — useful whether or not you ever install the app.

• Targets How much fiber do you need per day? The 21–38 gram range, the 28 g Daily Value, and why most people land far below both.
• Food list High-fiber foods, ranked by food group Everyday legumes, grains, fruits, and vegetables with approximate grams per household serving.
• Basics Soluble vs insoluble fiber What each type does, where each shows up, and why per-food splits are always estimates.
• Ramp up How to increase fiber without the bloating Why going too fast backfires, and a gradual, fluid-friendly way to raise your intake.
