The gap
Three kinds of apps, one frustrated eater.
Western photo trackers
Snap a photo, get one number you can’t question, and they can’t tell a dosa from a pancake. Great for a viral week, useless for an Indian plate.
Calm journals
Lovely and conversational, then a hard paywall after a handful of entries, before the habit ever forms. And still no real depth on Indian food.
India’s coach apps
They know your food, but bury it under constant upsells and coach nudges. You wanted a journal, not a salesperson in your pocket.
Nourished is the only one that’s conversational, mood-aware, honest about uncertainty, accurate on the food you actually eat, and generous enough to build a habit.
How it works
A journal that meets you where you eat.
Talk to it, in Hinglish even
Type what you ate like a message: “2 roti, dal, thoda sabzi.” Photo, barcode, and manual are there when you want them, never forced on you. The fastest log is the one you’ll actually do.
Every number is editable
The AI returns a draft: a list of ingredients with confidence, not one opaque number. Fix a portion, swap an item, and the calories recompute instantly. Editing is always free.
It actually knows Indian food
Dal, dosa, thali, roti, a katori of sabzi: recognized against Indian food databases (INDB / IFCT), not guessed by a Western app. This is the part nobody else gets right.
Mood is first-class
Log how you feel in one tap, right in the same journal as your meals. Over time, Nourished connects what you eat to your energy and mood: the “why do I feel like this” loop.
