About Fodmi

What Fodmi does

Log a meal by photo, voice or text, search for a single food, or scan a barcode or label to check a product. Check in after a meal to say how it sat, and over a few weeks Fodmi shows which foods line up with your bad days. You can export a PDF of your journal for your doctor or dietitian.

Where the lights come from

AI only names the ingredients in a meal and estimates their amounts. Every FODMAP light comes from Fodmi’s food database: each food has a few rated servings, each rated low, moderate or high for the six FODMAP groups against published cut-offs. Between two rated servings the higher rating counts, and a food Fodmi doesn’t list is shown as not in the database.

Food ratings and meal totals are estimates from published food composition data. They don’t measure your own tolerance. The details are on the sources and method page.

Your journal and AI

Your journal stays on your iPhone. Before Fodmi first reads a meal with AI, it asks your permission and names who receives your words or photo: OpenRouter and the AI model it routes to (DeepSeek, Google Gemini or Anthropic Claude), Typesafe for ingredient matching, and a web search for a dish name. Fodmi never sends your name, email or account, or where a photo was taken, and the AI models and Typesafe don’t keep a copy or learn from it. You can turn AI reading off in Profile → About Fodmi.

The privacy policy has the full list of providers, what each receives and how long data is kept.

Not medical advice

Fodmi estimates FODMAP content from published food composition data. It is not medical advice. Tolerance varies from person to person: talk to a doctor before changing your diet, and follow a low FODMAP diet with a qualified dietitian. Read the medical disclaimer.
