About Healthy Beetle

Why We Built This

Healthy Beetle started in 2025 from a simple frustration: existing nutrition apps made tracking feel like a part-time job.

After having my son, I needed to get back on track with my nutrition. But every app I tried was either painfully slow (endless searching and manual entry) or wildly inaccurate (AI that couldn't tell broccoli from Brussels sprouts). The "premium" features were overpriced and underwhelming.

So I built what I actually needed: a nutrition tracker that respects your time, gives you multiple ways to log meals, and uses AI where it actually helps—not as a gimmick.

Our Philosophy

Flexibility over rigid workflows. You should be able to track nutrition in whatever way works for you at that moment. Sometimes that's a quick photo, sometimes it's scanning a barcode, sometimes it's selecting from your favorites. We give you all the options.

Smart tools, not smart marketing. We use AI for photo recognition and nutrition assistance because it genuinely makes tracking easier. But we don't pretend to be your "AI coach" or make promises we can't keep.

Built by users, for users. I use Healthy Beetle every single day. Every feature exists because it solves a real problem, not because it sounds good in marketing copy.

What Makes Us Different

• Multiple tracking methods: We don't force you into one way of logging. Use photos when you're out, barcode scanning for packaged foods, favorites for routine meals, or manual entry when you know exactly what you ate.
• Actually accurate AI: Our photo recognition is trained on real meals, not stock photos. It gets portions right and handles complex plates with multiple foods.
• Time-saving favorites system: Other apps have "favorites" as an afterthought. Ours lets you organize meals into custom categories and bulk-add multiple items at once.
• No advertisements: You're the customer, not the product. We'll never interrupt your tracking with ads.
• Honest assistance: Our AI assistant answers nutrition questions based on your data. It doesn't pretend to be a nutritionist or give medical advice.

Who This Is For

Healthy Beetle is for people who:

• Want to track nutrition without it taking over their life
• Have tried other apps and given up because they're too tedious
• Need flexibility in how they log meals throughout the day
• Value accuracy but also convenience
• Want helpful tools, not another app telling them what to do

If you're looking for an app that lectures you about your choices or promises miraculous transformations, this isn't it. We're here to make tracking easy so you can focus on your actual goals.

Our Commitment

We promise to:

• Keep improving based on real user feedback, not trend chasing
• Be transparent about what our features can and can't do
• Respect your time by making tracking as efficient as possible
• Never add features just to justify a price increase
• Stay focused on our core mission: making nutrition tracking sustainable
