foodoo vs Cronometer
Cronometer is the tracker for detail: verified food data and more than 80 nutrients, popular with people who watch micronutrients closely.
Where Cronometer is stronger
- Tracks more nutrients, in more detail, than almost any app.
- Curated, verified food data rather than user-entered entries.
- A professional version for dietitians and coaches who follow clients.
Where foodoo is different
A photo, a sentence or your voice
The AI reads the dish and the portion; calories and nutrients come from laboratory data wherever it can. 3 analyses a day are free.
How food makes you feel
A short question after meals, then your own patterns: what keeps you full, steady or sleepy — and a forecast for every meal.
Numbers are optional
“No numbers” mode hides calories everywhere and talks about plants, processing and how you feel instead.
More than a diary
A pet that eats what you log, chats with the people you eat with, a child's food diary kept together, and a GLP-1 mode.

Which one is for you
Pick Cronometer if
you weigh your food, want every micronutrient to the milligram and like building the log entry by entry.
Pick foodoo if
you want logging to take seconds — a photo or a sentence — with vitamins and minerals checked against your norms, plus patterns of how meals make you feel.
Moving from Cronometer
foodoo reads Cronometer's export: upload it from a computer through a one-time link, or pick the file on your phone. You see a preview first and nothing is written until you confirm; importing the same file twice adds nothing.
Questions
Is foodoo free?
Yes. Everything in foodoo is free to use, with 3 AI food analyses a day. Premium ($2.99 a month or $29.99 a year) removes the daily AI limits.
Can I move my diary from Cronometer?
foodoo reads Cronometer's export: upload it from a computer through a one-time link, or pick the file on your phone. You see a preview first and nothing is written until you confirm; importing the same file twice adds nothing.
Is foodoo more accurate than Cronometer?
The AI recognises the dish and the portion; wherever possible, calories and nutrients come from laboratory data rather than the AI's guess, and any result can be put right with one sentence. No photo-based estimate is exact — the portion is the hardest part, so foodoo also learns from your own corrections.
