Built by someone who
couldn't find the right app.

Over the past year, I've become deeply invested in the gym and my health. Like a lot of people, I turned to macro tracking to understand what I was eating — and like a lot of people, I got frustrated fast.

Every app I tried fell into one of two buckets: super manual entry (search, scroll, tap, repeat) or overly AI-based apps that make guessesabout nutrition data. Neither felt right. Manual logging killed my flow while cooking. And I didn't trust apps that were just guessing my macros.

I wanted something that worked with me while I cooked. Something I could talk to naturally, that would pull from verified data sources, and that supported multiple ways to log — voice, barcode, camera, or just typing it in. I wanted an app that met me where I was, not one that forced me into a single workflow.

That's how Kitchen Mode was born — a hands-free, voice-first logging experience powered by AI that parses what you say but never fabricates nutrition data. You cook, you talk, and your macros are logged.

Then I realized a Bluetooth scale could change everything. If Kitchen Mode already knows what you're eating, and a scale knows how much, you get incredibly accurate logging with almost zero effort. No more eyeballing portions. No more guessing if that was one tablespoon or two.

The longer-term vision goes further. I'm focused on building a reputable database of foods with barcode data and complete nutrition information. The goal is to make collecting great data really easy — and then see how that data can help people. Anonymized, high-quality nutrition data has the potential to power assistive health models that help people understand patterns in how they eat and feel.

But that starts with getting the basics right: making it dead simple to log what you eat, with data you can actually trust.
