One day, kept properly.

A food and symptom diary for a child on an elimination diet. Here is what using it actually looks like, hour by hour.


8 AM

She photographs her toast

The photo comes back broken into ingredients — wheat, butter, the sesame nobody would have written down. She deletes what is wrong, adds what is missing, and saves.

The list is a draft until she says otherwise. Nothing is ever saved unreviewed, because a wrong list that looks credible is worse than no list.

12 PM

Lunch is one tap

It is the same sandwich as most days, so it is already in the list of things she eats. One tap. No photo, no waiting, nothing to check.

A child on a restricted diet eats the same handful of things constantly. Friction is what kills a food diary, and this is where most of it would have been.

3 PM

Something starts

She taps how she feels overall, then the feelings that apply, then taps one again to say it is worse. Two taps and it is on the record, timestamped.

Three hours after lunch. On the day’s column that gap is a real distance you can see, because every empty hour is the same height as a full one.

9 PM

The day goes to family

One plain message — what she ate, how she felt, each symptom with its own severity — to a Telegram group or WhatsApp. You see the exact text before it sends.

Off until you set it up. It is one of only two things that ever leave the phone.

Later

And at the appointment

One button writes every meal and every check-in to a spreadsheet and hands it to the share sheet. Mail it to yourself, or give it to a doctor or dietitian.

eatfeel does not tell you what is causing anything, and is built so it cannot start. A pattern in a few weeks of data is a question worth asking, not an answer.


All of it stays here

Everything is stored in one file on the phone. No account, no sign-in, no sync, no server of ours — so there is nowhere for us to read it from.

Two things leave, both yours to switch on: a food photo at the moment it is taken, if you have entered your own API key, and the daily message above. The key is yours and billed to your own account, held in the phone’s keychain, precisely so that nobody sits in the middle.
