Calorie trackers don’t cook. Recipe apps don’t track. Swoodie does both.

Yes — Swoodie is one of the few apps that does both. AI photo and barcode scanning feed a daily calorie and macro dashboard, while AI recipe generation and a meal planner handle what to actually cook.

Most apps pick a side: calorie counters track but do not help you cook, and recipe apps cook but do not track. Swoodie combines both, so you do not need a separate tracker and meal planner. The free tier covers the recipe library and basic logging; the AI features come as a 10-use free trial.

Swoodie is built for couples and households — Swipe Together matches dinners across two phones, and Nest gives your whole household a shared pantry, meal plan, and shopping list. End the nightly 'what should we eat?' debate.

With Premium, the AI Meal Planner builds one shared plan where each partner keeps their own calorie target, with a single consolidated shopping list. In a Swipe Together session the shared recipe deck follows the host's diet filters, so the partner with the stricter diet should host; it also takes into account the allergies participants have saved, but always check the ingredients. With Nest, you can add up to 5 people (6 including you) — partner, family, or roommates — and everyone sees the same shared pantry, meal plan, and shopping list, which merges duplicates when two of you add the same thing. Most calorie counters and meal planners assume a single user; Swoodie is built around the whole household. One paid plan is enough to set it up — Swoodie Lite (a one-time $9.99) or Premium — and invited members join free; the plan itself stays with the person who bought it. And if you want closer day-to-day accountability with one other person — a partner, a roommate, a friend — Wellness Journey pairs the two of you for a shared daily wellness score, encouragements, and harmony badges. One of you starts the Journey on a paid plan; the other joins free. Solo Challenges are free for both of you.

Swoodie's free tier includes 30 daily swipes, 30 saved favorites, 10 AI Kitchen uses (Chef AI, Scan, Planner), Quick Add manual calorie & macro logging, the free Product Check scan + quality score, 5 saves in Recipe Vault, and your first 5 fasts with the fasting tracker (six protocols + live timer + history) — no sign-up needed.

Free users also get vegetarian and vegan dietary filters, can join the Swipe Together sessions, Nests, Wellness Journeys and Fast Together pairings that Lite or Premium users start, and access a wide library of curated and AI-enhanced recipes. Recipe content (titles, ingredients, steps) is available in English, Polish, and German on the free tier — Swoodie Lite or Premium unlocks recipes in all 24 app languages.

For the shared features, no — for Premium on both phones, yes. One of you needs Lite or Premium to start a Swipe Together session, a Nest, a Wellness Journey or a Fast Together pairing, and the other joins free. A plan is for one person, though: outside the shared features, the partner who joins stays on the free tier.

What the partner who joins gets free: every Swipe Together session you start (a session is one sitting — next time, start a new one and they rejoin with the new code), your Nest's shared pantry, meal plan and shopping list, the shared Wellness Journey score, and Fast Together (on the free tier, their own fasts count toward the 5 free fasts). What stays on their own free tier: Chef AI, Scan and the AI meal planner beyond the 10 free uses, 30 swipes a day outside a shared session, and the other paid extras. Swoodie Lite is a one-time $9.99 purchase rather than a subscription, and it is enough to host every shared feature — so the cheapest way for a couple to use Swoodie together is for one of you to buy Lite once. If you both want the paid features on your own phones, each of you needs your own plan — a second Lite is the cheapest way. The partner who joins keeps their own calorie and macro targets on the free tier, and their swipes inside a shared session don't count against their daily free swipe limit. Solo Challenges are free for both of you; Duo Challenges start from a Premium account.

Premium unlocks unlimited swipes, favorites, and Recipe Vault saves, the full AI Kitchen suite (Chef AI, Meal Planner, Scan), and all 10 dietary filters.

Premium also includes AI Recipe Variations in multiple styles, Smart Swaps, Coach Ollie's pattern insights, the Fasting Coach chat, Discover Mode, meal-type and nutrition filters, alcohol exclusion, and streak freezes and recovery challenges. Hosting the shared features — a Swipe Together session, a Nest, a Wellness Journey, a Wellness Circle or a Fast Together pairing — works on either Swoodie Lite or Premium, and the partner who joins stays on the free tier — a plan is for one person. Starting a Duo Challenge also needs a paid plan, and your Journey partner joins free. Solo Challenges are free on every plan (one at a time on Free). Pricing starts at $3.99/week, with monthly and yearly plans available — the yearly plan offers the best value and includes a free trial. See the App Store or Google Play for current pricing in your region.

Yes. Swoodie Lite is a $9.99 one-time purchase that unlocks the whole app forever — everything except the AI features, which stay on the Premium subscription.

Lite includes unlimited swipes, favourites and Recipe Vault saves, all dietary and nutrition filters, custom and adaptive calorie targets, full streak history, unlimited fasting, Apple Health & Health Connect sync with the Step Counter, hosting for Swipe Together, Wellness Circles and Nest, and 2,900+ curated recipes in every app language. It's a one-time App Store / Google Play purchase — no subscription, no renewal. If you later want Chef AI, Swoodie Scan or the AI meal planner, Premium is available on top.

Yes — Swoodie combines four AI tracking modes (photo scanning, barcode lookup, plain-language text, and voice) plus Quick Add for typing calories in by hand, all feeding a daily dashboard with calories, macros, allergens, and a health score.

Swoodie Scan handles photo (AI food scanner) and barcode lookup across millions of packaged products, and you can capture up to 3 photos at once — three meals, or three angles of the same dish. Text-to-Nutrition lets you type what you ate in plain English. Every entry includes allergen detection (including gluten) and a 0–100 health score. Free users get 10 one-time AI uses; Premium is unlimited.

Yes. Swoodie creates an anonymous account automatically — no email or password required. All data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS), and we never sell your personal data.

Our database uses row-level security and the keys to our paid services live on our servers — never in the app. Photos from Swoodie Scan are processed in real time and never stored on our servers — the photo stays in the meal journal on your phone. You can delete all your data at any time from the app settings. For details, see our Privacy Policy.

Swipe Together turns it into a game instead of a debate: each person swipes through recipes on their own phone, and Swoodie surfaces only the dishes you all liked — so you pick tonight's dinner from a shortlist you already agree on.

The deck follows the host's diet filters, so a gluten-free, keto or vegetarian eater and a no-restrictions eater still get a shared shortlist nobody has to veto — the stricter eater should host. It also takes into account the allergies participants have saved, but always check the ingredients. Joining a session is free, no sign-up needed, and each person still tracks their own calories and macros against their own goal.

Yes. Swoodie Lite and Premium export five CSV files — your nutrition log, weight history, body measurements, favourites and video vault — from Settings → Export my data. Each file is written on your device and handed straight to the share sheet.

Your body stats and weight history are stored on your device and are never sent to our servers, so the export is not a download of a copy we hold — it is built on your phone from data only your phone had. Plain .csv opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets. It is a one-way copy rather than a backup: there is no import or restore, it does not move your history to a new phone, and the AI Cookbook is not included. Export sits directly above Delete My Data in Settings, on purpose.

Swoodie's app interface is available in 24 languages — English, Polish, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Thai, Japanese, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Dutch, Greek, Czech, Turkish, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Ukrainian, Hungarian, Romanian, Slovak, and Croatian. Recipe content (titles, ingredients, steps) is in English, Polish, and German on the free tier, and in all 24 languages with Swoodie Lite or Premium.

Free users get full recipe content in English, Polish, and German. Swoodie Lite and Premium translate recipe content — titles, ingredients, and steps — into all 24 app languages, adding French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Thai, Japanese, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Dutch, Greek, Czech, Turkish, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Ukrainian, Hungarian, Romanian, Slovak, and Croatian.

Cancel anytime through your device's app store settings — Apple ID → Subscriptions on iOS, Google Play → Subscriptions on Android. Not inside the Swoodie app.

Cancel at least 24 hours before your renewal date to avoid being charged for the next period. After cancellation, you keep Premium access until the end of your current billing period. For refunds, contact Apple Support or Google Play Support directly.

Partially. Already-loaded recipes, saved favorites, and Cooking Mode work without a connection. AI features (Chef AI, Scan, Meal Planner) need internet.

Recipes you've viewed and saved favorites stay cached on your device. Features that need fresh data — Chef AI, Swoodie Scan (barcode scans included), AI Meal Planner, Recipe Vault imports, Swipe Together — require an internet connection.

AI estimates from photos and text are a solid guide for everyday tracking, and you can correct any number after a scan. The barcode scanner reads the label nutrition of packaged foods, so it is more precise.

AI estimates are less reliable for unusual portions or mixed dishes. They're great for general tracking and trends, not for precise medical or therapeutic nutrition. Always verify allergens and dietary suitability before consumption, especially if you have allergies, intolerances, or specific medical conditions.

Yes. Recipe Vault imports from TikTok and YouTube links, reading the recipe out of the description or captions. Facebook works in part; Instagram links can't be read automatically, so paste the recipe text there instead. Recipe Catcher imports from any blog URL, pasted text, or a photo of a cookbook page.

AI extracts the structured recipe automatically — ingredients, steps, and nutrition. Both work in your AI Cookbook and the saved recipes show up wherever your favorites do. Free users get 5 saves in Recipe Vault; Lite and Premium are unlimited. Reading the recipe out of a video or link is a Premium AI feature — on Free and Lite you can try it with the 10 free AI uses.

Yes — Quick Add. Already know a meal's calories? Type them straight in — no photo, no AI, no waiting. It's free on every plan.

Add protein, carbs and fat too and Swoodie fills in the calories for you. Quick Add entries count toward your daily total like any other log, so it works alongside the AI modes — photo, barcode, text and voice — whenever you already have the numbers, like a packaged meal or a recipe you know by heart.

Yes — Swoodie auto-calculates your BMR/TDEE and daily calorie target based on your goal (cut, maintain, bulk), then tracks meals via photo, barcode, or text against that target.

Track weight with weekly weigh-in reminders and see your weight trend and current BMI. The AI Meal Planner builds plans that hit your macros automatically — so you stick to the plan without willpower fights. Swoodie supports weight management, not medical weight loss; consult a doctor for clinical advice.

Yes — Health Sync sends your logged meals (calories and macros) and water to Apple Health on iOS and Health Connect on Android, and brings your weight, steps and workout calories back in. Workout calories adjust your daily calorie budget.

Toggle it on or off any time in Settings. Together with Adaptive Targets, your daily calorie and macro goals are recalculated every week from your weight trend and what you ate, so targets stay realistic instead of stuck at your day-one numbers. Health Sync is included with Swoodie Lite and Premium on the iOS and Android apps.

Yes — connect Apple Health or Health Connect and Swoodie reads your daily steps, turns them into activity calories, and adds them to your daily goal, so a long walk earns you a little more room to eat.

Set your own daily step goal, watch your last-7-days trend, and let your steps power step challenges so you and a partner keep each other moving. The Step Counter is included with Swoodie Lite and Premium on the iOS and Android apps.

Yes. Swoodie's interface is available in 24 languages, and recipe content — titles, ingredients, and steps — is fully available in English, German, and Polish on the free tier, with all 24 languages unlocked on Swoodie Lite or Premium.

The interface covers English, Polish, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Thai, Japanese, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Dutch, Greek, Czech, Turkish, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Ukrainian, Hungarian, Romanian, Slovak, and Croatian. Free users get full recipes in English, German, and Polish; Swoodie Lite and Premium translate recipe content into all 24 app languages. AI features like photo scanning and Chef AI respond in your chosen language, and one Swoodie download works in every supported language — there is no separate localized app.

Yes — Swoodie has intermittent fasting with six protocols (12:12, 14:10, 16:8, 18:6, OMAD, or custom), a live eating-window timer, and history. Your first 5 fasts are free; Lite or Premium unlocks unlimited fasting.

The Fasting Coach chat with Ollie is Premium. Fast Together (pair up with a partner and watch their fast live — their protocol, start time and how long they've been in — and send them encouragement) needs Lite or Premium to host and is free to join; on the free tier, the joining partner's own fasts count toward their 5 free fasts. Each of you still fasts on your own protocol; nothing is imposed on either side. The OMAD preset ships with a standard 'talk to a professional' caution since extended fasting isn't right for everyone.
