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.

It also merges everyone's dietary tags and allergens into one search, so a gluten-free, keto, or vegetarian eater and a no-restrictions eater still get a shared shortlist nobody has to veto. Joining a session is free — no account needed — and each person still tracks their own calories and macros against their own goal.

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 the fasting tracker (six protocols + live timer + history) — no account needed.

Free users also get vegetarian and vegan dietary filters, can join Swipe Together sessions created by Premium users, 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 18 app languages.

Premium unlocks unlimited swipes, favorites, and Recipe Vault saves, the full AI Kitchen suite (Chef AI, Meal Planner, Scan, Top AI Recipes), all 10 dietary filters, and an ad-free experience.

Premium also includes Recipe Variations across multiple styles, meal type and nutrition filters, alcohol exclusion, Smart Collections + Smarter Filters, Swoodie Moments, 40 achievement badges across 6 categories, streaks and weekly leagues. 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. Solo and Duo Challenges are free on every plan. 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 the full recipe library 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 Lite and Premium export four CSV files — your nutrition log, weight history, 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 18 languages — English, Polish, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Thai, Japanese, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Dutch, Greek, Czech, Turkish, and Traditional Chinese. Recipe content (titles, ingredients, steps) is in English, Polish, and German on the free tier, and in all 18 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 18 app languages, adding French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Thai, Japanese, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Dutch, Greek, Czech, Turkish, and Traditional Chinese.

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 all API keys are stored server-side — never in the app. Photos from Swoodie Scan are processed in real-time and never permanently stored. You can delete all your data at any time from the app settings. For details, see our Privacy Policy.

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. Barcode scans for previously-seen products work offline thanks to a local cache. Features that need fresh data — Chef AI, Swoodie Scan, AI Meal Planner, Recipe Vault imports, Swipe Together — require an internet connection.

AI estimates from photo and text are typically within 10–20% of real values for common foods. The barcode scanner is much more precise — it pulls verified packaged-food nutrition.

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; Premium is unlimited.

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 with 7M+ products via verified global product databases, 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 — 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 BMI trends over time. 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 keeps your weight, logged meals (calories and macros), and water intake in step with Apple Health on iOS and Health Connect on Android. Workout calories flow back in and adjust your daily calorie budget.

Toggle it on or off any time in Settings. Together with Adaptive Targets, your daily calorie and macro goals adjust automatically as you log and move, so targets stay realistic instead of stuck at your day-one numbers. Health Sync is a Premium feature 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 arrived in v1.6 and is a Premium feature on the iOS and Android apps.

No. One partner needs a paid plan to start a Swipe Together session, a Nest, a Wellness Journey or a Fast Together pairing. The other joins free and stays on the free tier.

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. 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 and Duo Challenges are free for both of you.

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.

Couples can build a shared meal plan where each partner keeps their own calorie target and get a single consolidated shopping list. In a Swipe Together session the shared recipe deck follows the dietary filters and allergens of whoever starts it, so the partner with the stricter diet should host. With Nest, you can add up to 6 household members — 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 covers everyone — Swoodie Lite (a one-time $9.99) or Premium — and invited members join free. 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 and Duo Challenges are free for both of you.

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.

Yes. Swoodie's interface is available in 18 languages, and recipe content — titles, ingredients, and steps — is fully available in English, German, and Polish on the free tier, with all 18 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, and Traditional Chinese. Free users get full recipes in English, German, and Polish; Swoodie Lite and Premium translate recipe content into all 18 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 added intermittent fasting in v1.4 with six protocols (12:12, 14:10, 16:8, 18:6, OMAD, or custom), a live eating-window timer, and history. The tracker itself is free.

Fasting Coach quips from Ollie and 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; Lite or Premium to host, free to join) need a paid plan. Each of you still fasts on your own protocol; nothing is imposed on either side. Unlike Zero, Fastic, MyFitnessPal, or Yazio, Swoodie keeps the basic fasting tracker on the free tier. The OMAD preset ships with a standard 'talk to a professional' caution since extended fasting isn't right for everyone.
