Frequently asked questions

How do I scan a barcode?

Tap the + on the dashboard, then choose Scan Barcode. Point your camera at any food barcode and the nutritional information will load automatically from the Open Food Facts database.

Why isn't my weight syncing with Apple Health?

Make sure you've granted HealthKit permissions. Go to iPhone Settings and enable access to Weight and Active Energy. You may need to restart the app after granting permissions.

How do I change my calorie goal?

Go to the Settings tab, then tap your current activity level or calorie goal to adjust them. Your daily calorie target will update automatically based on your TDEE calculation.

Can I track my macros?

Macro tracking is coming in a future update! For now, Eat Aware focuses on calorie tracking to keep things simple and effective.

Is my data private?

Absolutely! All your data stays on your device. We don't collect, store, or transmit any of your personal information. If you have iCloud Backup enabled, your data is automatically backed up to your personal iCloud account (encrypted and private).

How do I delete all my data?

Go to Settings and press Clear all Data. This will delete all food logs, weight entries, and recipes. Your profile settings will remain so you can continue using the app.

The barcode scanner isn't working. What should I do?

Make sure you've granted camera permissions: . If the product isn't found, it might not be in the Open Food Facts database yet - you can add it manually instead.

Can I export my data?

Data export is coming in a future update! You'll be able to export your consumption history and weight data to CSV format.

Does Eat Aware work offline?

Yes! Once you've set up your profile, the app works completely offline. The only feature that requires internet is barcode scanning (to look up products in the Open Food Facts database).
