About Swoodie

Hi, I’m Daniel

Hi, I’m Daniel — the person behind Swoodie. I’m based in Poland, and I’ve been working on Swoodie solo since January 2026. I’m not a venture-backed team or a nutrition company — just one developer who got tired of juggling a calorie counter, a recipe app, and a meal planner that didn’t talk to each other, and decided to build the one app I actually wanted.

Why I built Swoodie

Most calorie counters track but don’t help you cook. Most recipe apps cook but don’t track. Most meal planners assume you eat alone. I wanted one app that did all three — and one that worked for cooking together with a partner instead of optimising for solo logging.

Swoodie is the result. One app for recipes, calorie tracking, meal planning, and the shared parts of how people actually cook — with a partner, with a household, or solo.

How Swoodie is funded

Swoodie is funded by paying users — no investors, no ads, no data sales. There’s a free tier and a paid Premium tier, and you can try the AI features free without a card before deciding.
