Straight answers.

Yes, for the tracking. Logging food, scanning barcodes, tracking macros and micronutrients, building recipes by hand, logging workouts, weight and water: all free, with no card required.

There is an optional paid tier called GreaseFit Supporter. It raises your AI quota from 5 credits a day to 25, and it unlocks the AI recipe scan: photograph a page from a recipe book and the recipe, plus every food in it, gets created for you. Every new account starts with 25 AI credits a day for its first 7 days, then 5. That trial covers photo estimates, label scans and the AI chat, not the recipe scan. Everything else, the manual recipe builder included, is identical on both plans.

A higher daily AI quota: 25 credits a day instead of 5, shared between AI photo estimates, label scans, recipe scans and AI chat. A label scan costs one credit, so 25 a day. It also unlocks the AI recipe scan, which is a Supporter feature: it costs two credits and creates every food used in the recipe as well. The recipe scan is not part of the first-week trial for new accounts, and building recipes by hand never needs a membership. A membership also adds priority support and early access to new features.

Mostly it funds the project. GreaseFit has no investors and no advertising revenue, so memberships are the only thing paying for servers and development.

No. There are no ads and no advertising SDKs in the app at all. Nothing is paid to be featured or recommended, and no product placement is sold.

Yes. There is no guest mode; your data lives on the server so it can follow you between devices, and that requires an account.

You can sign up with an email address and password, with Google, or with Apple on iOS.

In the app, under Profile > Settings > Delete account, or by emailing support@greasefit.com. Your personal data is removed as far as possible and what remains is anonymised. Your email address is kept for one year to prevent misuse, and payment records for up to seven years for tax. The account deletion page and the privacy policy have the details.

Yes, and it is free: no subscription, no daily limit, no ad before the result.

Worth understanding how it works: a scan searches GreaseFit's own registry of foods that people have saved and attached barcodes to. If a barcode is not there yet, the app offers to create the food, and from then on that barcode is linked to it permanently. It is not a lookup against a global product database.

Calories and calories burned; protein, carbohydrates and fat, with fat split into saturated, trans, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated; fiber and sugars.

Then the micronutrients: cholesterol, sodium, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus and zinc, plus vitamins A, C, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12 and folate. Caffeine is tracked too.

Reference intakes are age- and sex-aware, and you can choose which standard they are scored against: EU (EFSA), US (FDA), UK (SACN) or WHO.

Yes. You can create custom foods with a full micronutrient editor, save meals, and build recipes with ingredients and step-by-step instructions, including a photo for each step.

Recipes have a serving count, and the totals are divided across servings when you save, so logging one portion of something you cooked for four is accurate rather than guesswork.

You photograph a packaged product, a nutrition label, a plated meal or a page from a recipe book. The estimate pre-fills the food, meal or recipe editor, and it will match against items already in your library rather than creating duplicates.

It is a starting point, not an oracle. Check the numbers and correct them before you save. An estimate from a photo is exactly that.

Photo estimates, label scans, recipe scans and AI chat all draw on one daily pool: 5 credits a day on the free plan, 25 for supporters, reset each calendar day in your own timezone. New accounts get 25 a day for their first 7 days, then 5. A label scan costs one credit. A recipe scan costs two, creates every food used in the recipe as well, and is a Supporter feature, also during that first week. Building recipes by hand stays free for everyone.

Yes. Workouts are logged as exercises broken into sets, with weight in kilograms, reps and RPE, plus duration, calories burned and notes. If you have heart-rate data you can record average and maximum heart rate and time spent in each zone.

Yes, if you allow it. On iPhone it reads your daily step count from Apple Health, and on Android from Health Connect.

It only reads steps. Nothing is written back to those apps.

Yes. You can plan a day's meals and see the week in an overview.

Not yet. Shopping lists are not a feature today, but they are on the roadmap.

Only for steps. If you allow it, GreaseFit reads your daily step count from Apple Health or Health Connect. It reads nothing else, writes nothing back, and there is no Google Fit integration, so weight or workouts from a smart scale or watch do not appear.

In your Lose It account, look for the option to export or download your data in your account settings. Lose It provides it as a single .zip archive of CSV files: your food log, custom foods, weights, profile and more.

Keep the zip exactly as it arrives. Do not unzip it or rename the files inside. To move to GreaseFit, upload that zip on the GreaseFit website. The guide to exporting your Lose It data walks through every step.

Export your data from Lose It, which arrives as a .zip archive, then upload that zip on the GreaseFit website. The importer runs on the web, not inside the app.

It brings across your custom foods with their nutrition values, your food log entries, weights, steps, exercise logs and water intake. Profile details like birthday, gender and height are filled in only where you have not already set them, and rows you had deleted in Lose It are skipped.

There is a step-by-step walkthrough in the guide to switching from Lose It.

Not yet. Lose It is currently the only supported importer, and more importers are on the roadmap. You can still move across manually in the meantime. Building your twenty or thirty regular foods into your library takes an evening and makes logging faster forever after.

As of October 2026, MyFitnessPal's own help center says its data export is only for Premium and Premium+ subscribers. It emails a zip of CSV files: meal-level nutrition, progress (weight and measurements) and exercise. Free accounts can print a report on the website or share their diary instead.

GreaseFit cannot import a MyFitnessPal export today; Lose It is the only importer. The guide to exporting your MyFitnessPal data covers both routes and how to set GreaseFit up by hand in one evening.

In transit, yes. Everything goes over HTTPS, encrypted to modern standards, and passwords are never kept in a readable form.

On the device, Android adds an extra layer of protection to stored credentials. The equivalent hardening on iOS is not in place yet, so it would be dishonest to make a blanket claim across both platforms.

Your account, logs and photos are stored on DigitalOcean servers in Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, under the GDPR. Some data is handled outside the EU: usage statistics and crash reports (Google and Apple), server error reports (Sentry), internal notifications (Slack), website payments (Stripe) and website hosting (Vercel). AI processing may also run outside the EU. The privacy policy explains how that data is protected.

No. There is no advertising business here to sell it to. Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics are used to see whether the app is crashing and which screens are used, with advertising-ID collection switched off. Usage statistics are on by default and can be switched off with a toggle in your profile. Crash reports are always collected, because they are needed to keep the app working.

Not yet. Your data lives on the server, which is what lets it follow you between devices, but it also means you need a connection to log a meal today. Offline logging is on the roadmap.

iPhone on iOS 15.3 or later, and Android phones on Android 9.0 or later. There is no watch app or home-screen widget yet; both are on the roadmap.

Five, all fully translated rather than machine-generated: English, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese and French. You can pick one in the app or leave it following your system language.

If yours is missing, get in touch at support@greasefit.com and say which language you would like to see. Requests are what decide which language gets translated next.

Greasy Apps, based in Amsterdam. No investors, and nobody paying for placement.
