Forkbell is a calorie tracker and workout log in one app. Type what you ate, in your own words, and it knows the calories. Free on iPhone.
iPhone with iOS 18 or later. Android is next.
Built by a lifter who got tired of guessing calories for home-cooked meals.

Databases are built from packaged food. A roti made at home, or a stew from a family recipe, is a guess stacked on a guess.

100 g
Nobody measures in grams at home. People eat in bowls, pieces, spoons and plates, in every cuisine.
Forkbell
Search, scroll, pick the wrong entry, fix the portion. By day nine most people quit.
Logging food, logging training, and seeing your week. In the app today, and fast.
Two roti, dal, a bowl of yogurt. Or last night's pasta. Forkbell splits the sentence, matches each item to verified data with household servings, and logs it. No search results to scroll.

Counted from the food database
A photo of your plate or a barcode on a packet. Forkbell names what it sees, estimates the portions, and lets you fix anything in one tap before it saves.
One hand, no signal, thirty seconds of rest. Weight and reps in two taps, last session beside you, personal records marked when they happen.

In your own words. Two roti, dal, a bowl of yogurt. Or eggs, toast and coffee. No searching, no scrolling.
Each item is matched to published food composition tables (USDA FoodData Central and the UK's CoFID) plus our own recipes for Indian dishes, with household servings. Every number shows its source.
Sets, reps and weight next to your meals and your weight trend. One day, one screen.
Version 1.0 is small on purpose so it can be fast. Updates come every few weeks.
I've logged food in most of the big apps. Every one of them made me search for a roti and choose between eleven entries with different calories. So I stopped logging, like everyone does.
Forkbell is the app I wanted: type what I ate, trust the number, get back to my day. If that sounds like what you've been missing, download it and tell me what's wrong with it. When you email me, it's me who reads it.
On the App Store, for iPhone with iOS 18 or later. It has been live since November 2026.
Yes. Logging food, workouts and weight is free, with no ads. Typing a meal is free up to 10 times a day. A paid plan may come later for extras; logging stays free.
Not yet. iPhone came first and Android is next. Follow @forkbellapp to hear when it's out.
You can log your first meal before signing up. To keep your log, sign in with Apple or Google. No passwords, and you can delete your account and everything in it from the app at any time.
CSV export of everything you log is coming in an update. Your data is yours, and nothing is sold or shared for ads.
If it works for you, keep using it. Forkbell is for people it doesn't work for: it's built around home-cooked food with household servings, starting with cuisines the big databases get wrong, it puts food and workouts in one log, and it's designed so logging a meal takes seconds.
Free on the App Store. Your first meal is counted before you even sign up.
