Self-hosted nutrition + wellness tracker. Latest release rolls up two weeks of work.
New features (rc.21 → rc.26):
- Recipe yields — declare “this makes N servings” and per-serving math flows through the diary
- Intermittent fasting tracker — custom presets, history, recurring schedule that auto-starts at a chosen time on chosen days
- Adaptive TDEE — learns your true daily expenditure from a rolling 35-day window of weight + diary instead of a static estimate
- Android biometric sign-in — fingerprint / face unlock in server-connected mode
- Per-serving Open Food Facts import — when a barcode-scanned product has serving data, prefill nutrition per-serving instead of per-100g
- Health Connect → web — Android-synced Health Connect data now reaches the server and renders on the web Wellness page
- Sharing rework — per-category sharing form, source filter on Meals/Recipes, zxcvbn-backed password-strength policy
Bug fixes: cross-pollinated food images on diary entries, duplicate foods on rapid barcode scans, scheduler crash, Mealie Test button.

Damn, I was hoping that it would be an android app with Health Connect support 😅
Looks very nice though!
It is an android app with Health Connect Support! Android app works with or without the server! :)
Is it less of a massive pain in the ass to setup than SparkyFitness?
For docker, It is only one service. everything else can be setup in app once you are in if you so choose. Android App can be used with or without server.
I’m guessing from the example conf files that https would be manually configured through nginx?
Also, in case I missed it from the repo, is there the ability to integrate wger?
Yes, TLS is left to a reverse proxy (nginx, Caddy, Traefik, Cloudflare Tunnel). The container serves plain HTTP on a port you map; whatever you put in front handles the cert.
No wger integration today. NutriTrace covers food + wellness + workout sync (from Fitbit/Garmin/Withings/Google Health/Health Connect), but doesn’t connect to wger or other dedicated exercise-routine apps. My soon to be released app in the Trace family of apps will be dedicated to lifting, and will include wger integration to name one of its exercise databases (as well as support for custom imports).
damn. Good features. I was hoping to move onto this as part of the portfolio pieces/improve habits self hosted DB thing I’m working on, but for now I guess I can learn some of the things I don’t know how to do yet (like shipping to other people!) from your team.
How are you planning on reacting to the android freedoms getting compromised? I’m literally working on the android app for mine now, and it bums me out that they’re going to put more invasions of privacy for deploying apps to your own phone.
Also, are you planning to make money from this somehow? If yes, how?
Personal food database with photos, barcodes, categories, and custom labels
Where do you source your barcodes from? The reason I am asking is that I would like to give Grocy/Barcode Buddy a better barcode pool to draw from. As it is now, it’s kind of hit and miss. Most brand names are fine, but off brands or store brands are kind of iffy.
Open Food Facts (OFF) for barcodes. Free, open license, community-edited. Their API: https://world.openfoodfacts.org/api/v2/product/<barcode>.json
Thanks man! Nice looking project BTW
