A look at Fuel8 4.2, currently in TestFlight ahead of App Store review. Screens below show the upcoming update with sample records.

The Today screen: 924 kcal left today, 1,243 of 2,167 logged, with the week strip above, protein, carbs and fat below, and the morning check-in with weight, hours slept and water.

Inside Fuel8 4.2

From today's session to your longer view.

The tools to plan a session, record it and return to your progress later.

Plan, train, review

A workout you can actually log.

Choose the equipment in your gym and review a generated session, or build your own. Record each set, repetition and weight. Pause when you need to, then save what you completed.

  • Equipment-aware workout generation
  • Strength sets, cardio and timed sessions
  • History, previous performance and coach feedback
A generated Upper workout with seven exercises matched to the selected gym equipment, ready to review and add.

Your photo history

Find the photo you came back for.

Open Progress, then Progress photos. Browse the dated library, search a note or filter by pose. Tap a photo to review it, or use Compare to choose two dates for the same pose.

  • Photos, Compare and Check-ins in one place
  • Pose silhouettes and crop controls when uploading
  • Only me or named coach recipients, chosen before saving
The searchable progress photo library with Photos, Compare and Check-ins tabs, pose and date filters, and sample silhouettes.

Progress-photo examples use illustrative silhouettes, not client images or transformation claims. Read how sharing works.

Just say what you ate.

“Chicken breast 200g, a cup of rice, tablespoon of olive oil.”

One sentence, three foods, no typing, and it works in aeroplane mode, because both the listening and the understanding happen on your phone.

Three foods, one sentence

Say the lot in one go. Each food comes out separately, with the portion you said attached to the right one.

It knows a gram from a helping

“200g” is 200g whatever it's attached to. “A cup” isn't, so a cup of rice and a cup of spinach don't get the same number.

Your voice never leaves the phone

Recognition and parsing both run on-device. If a phone can't do it locally, Fuel8 refuses rather than uploading the audio.

Nothing is logged until you tap Add

Everything spoken arrives as a proposal on a plate you can edit. Portions it guessed are marked as estimates.

See how it works →
Food logging in Fuel8 4.2: saved plates and recent foods, with Quick, Say it and Scan controls.
Search, use a saved plate, or choose Say it from the same food sheet.

Log a meal four ways.

Three taps from opening the app to a logged breakfast.

Search 13,521 foods

The whole database is inside the app. Results as you type, with no signal needed.

A barcode scanner that works

Point it at the packet. Found once, and it resolves instantly every time after.

Save the meals you eat often

Your usual breakfast, the desk lunch, the go-to dinner. Each one tap, not four searches.

Or just say it

“Chicken breast 200g, white rice, a tablespoon of olive oil.” Recognised on the phone.

Plan ahead. Change your mind.

Cook six dinners on Sunday and enter them once. Food added to a future day stays a plan until you confirm you ate it, and a plan you never confirm counts for nothing at all.

  • Any day, up to 14 ahead
  • One tap to confirm you ate it
  • Plans stay out of your averages and days logged
  • Nothing reaches Apple Health until you confirm
  • A skipped plan just sits there. No badge, no reminder
  • Never confirmed for you at midnight
Tomorrow, Saturday 26 September: a planned-day banner, 1,721 kcal left to plan and the usual breakfast plate marked Planned.
Tomorrow, planned. Every row marked until you confirm it.
The Add Food sheet, showing saved plates above recent foods, with Quick, Say it and Scan along the bottom.

Built for how the day actually goes.

Logging food fails when it’s slow. Every one of these is a few seconds, one-handed.

It's 7am and you've got one hand spare.

Your usual breakfast is a saved plate. One tap and it's logged, not four searches.

You're stood in the aisle holding the packet.

Scan the barcode. After the first lookup it works with no signal at all.

School run done, hands full, still haven't logged lunch.

Say it out loud and it becomes a list you confirm later. Nothing is logged until you tap Add.

It's 10pm and you never logged Tuesday.

Pick the day and add it. The picker goes back as far as you need to go.

In the app

Every recipe on this site is in the app.

All 1,000 of them, in a Recipes tab of their own, with the same macros worked out from the same weights. Read it on the site, cook it, log it from the phone.

Search by dish or ingredient

Type it or say it. Filter by meal and by calories per serving, keep favourites, and the ones you cooked come back under Recent.

Pick a portion, add it to a meal

Half a serving, one and a half, two. The calories and macros follow the portion, and one tap puts it in breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack, today or a day you are planning.

Recipes that fit what's left

“What can I eat?” suggests recipes at portions that fit what is left of the day, from the same tab you log in.

Your own recipes beside them

Write a recipe of your own, or copy one of these and change it. Ingredients, method and nutrition together, and logged in a tap. Share the ingredient list to a shopping list.

Browse the recipes →
The Recipes tab: a search box, All, Favourites and Recent, meal chips, a Say a dish or ingredient button, and recipe cards with calories, protein and minutes.
Apple and Cinnamon Chia Pudding with Pea Protein: 429 kcal per serving, a portion picker, macros and Add to breakfast.

Your connected account

Your diary on the web, when you say so.

Sign in with the same Apple Account, then enable sync in the app. Review the records sent from your iPhone on the web, with the last sync time shown.

Connect when you choose

Log on your iPhone without an account. Sign in with Apple for your dashboard and other account features. Apple lets you hide your email; record sync and coach access are separate choices.

Sync is off until you turn it on

Enable diary sync to send meals, weigh-ins, sleep, water and workouts to your account. Progress photos upload separately, when you choose to add them.

Yours to read, share or wipe

Review your records on the web. Enter a coach's invitation code to connect, choose photo recipients, and end access from your account. Account deletion is available in the app and on the web.

How sync works, what it sends, and what the website shows you.

Fuel8 Pro

Logging is included. Founders Entry adds the tools.

Every account gets the diary, the history and the controls. Founders Entry is US$3.00 a month for the tools that build on them, with your founder price kept while you stay a member.

Human coaches are coming soon. The connection tools are already in the app and open the moment a coach is on Fuel8; each coach manages their own service, arrangements and any fees separately.

During open launch every tool is included; paid membership is being prepared. The full lists, the price terms and where things stand.

For coaches

Coach from the real log.

A client types your code into their account page, and you see what they chose to share, with the same numbers they see. Until either of you ends it.

Coaches coming soon. Coach connection tools are included with Founders Entry; personal coaching is optional and managed by your coach, including their arrangements and any fees.

1000 recipes, with the macros worked out.

Every quantity weighable, every total arithmetic over those weights. Written the way you would have to log them anyway, in grams, with the brand named where the brand changes the answer. Every one of them is in the app’s Recipes tab, ready to log by the portion.

And the research behind the advice.

Long-form pieces where every figure is attributed to a named study. Including the ones that contradict what everybody repeats. The 10,000-step target came from a pedometer advert.

All insights →

You choose what to sync.

Local records use iOS file protection. Optional sync sends a copy to Fuel8 so you and your connected coach can review it on the web.

An account with clear choices

Start logging without an account. Sign in with Apple when you want account features; your diary stays on this iPhone until you choose to sync it.

Works offline

The bundled food database and local logging work without an account or internet connection.

No analytics, no ad networks

No tracking SDKs or ad networks. Account records are used to provide the service and are never sold.

Account sync, coaching, Health sharing and progress-photo uploads are explained in our policy. Read the privacy policy.

No streaks. No shame. No scores.

Review what you recorded, with space for the days you didn't. Averages show how many days contributed, and missing records stay empty.

  • No streaks to break
  • No red failure states
  • No food grades or scores
  • No projections or goal dates
  • Exercise never adds calories back
  • Calorie floors it won't go below
“A total across the weeks above, not a streak. A missed day doesn’t reset anything.”
From the app itself
Weekly progress with averages across five logged days, water records and a dash where no sleep has been recorded.

Questions.

What is Founders Entry?

Founders Entry is the planned US$3.00 monthly membership for workout building, recipe tools, progress photos, insights and coach connection tools. Coaches are coming soon. Personal coaching is optional. Your coach manages their service, arrangements and any fees separately. The App Store shows your local price before purchase. Your original monthly founder price is kept while you remain subscribed. Basic logging and existing records stay included. Tools are currently available during launch while paid membership is being prepared. The full lists and terms.

Do I need an account?

No account is needed for local food, workout, weight, water and sleep logging. Choose Continue without an account in setup. Sign in with Apple for your dashboard, progress-photo library, coaching and account membership. Record sync is a separate choice.

Then why is there a form asking for my email?

The mailing list is separate from your Fuel8 account. It holds a name and email address in Mailchimp for recipe and product updates, and you can unsubscribe at any time. It does not enable diary sync or coach access.

Does anything leave my phone?

If you enable account sync, your diary and training records go to Fuel8. Apple Health activity has a separate sharing switch. Barcode lookups send barcode digits to Open Food Facts. Progress photos upload only when you choose to save them. The privacy policy explains these choices.

Does it work without a connection?

Yes. The 13,521-food database is bundled inside the app, so searching and local logging work in aeroplane mode without an account. Account sign-in, sync, coach deliveries, progress photos and new barcode lookups need a connection.

Can I export my data?

Not yet. Fuel8 has no export feature today. Your synced records are readable on your web account. Local records and the online account have separate deletion controls, but the app has no export or restore button.

Are the recipes on this site in the app?

All of them, in the Recipes tab, with the same macros worked out from the same weights. Search by dish or ingredient, filter by meal or calories per serving, pick a portion and add it to a meal. You can write your own recipes there too, or copy one of these and change it.

Can a coach see what I log?

Only if you let one. Turn on sync, then type the coach’s code into the Coaching box on your account page here. From then on they see your progress, diary and workouts, and their name is listed on that page with a button to stop it. A coach can send a workout to the app for you to add or dismiss. What a coach sees, in full.

What does the website show me?

Nothing until you turn on sync in the app. After that, sign in here with the same Apple Account and you get Progress, Diary and Workouts views of your own records, plus a list of every document the app sent, readable as stored and removable one at a time or all at once. How sync works.

How accurate are the numbers?

Nutrition values come from public databases and may be inaccurate. Calorie and macro targets are estimates from standard formulas and will not be right for everyone, for any one person they can be out by 10% in either direction, which is why every target in the app is editable.

Is Fuel8 a calorie counter or a macro tracker?

Both, because they are the same log. Every food you add carries its calories and its protein, carbohydrate and fat, so the day shows a calorie total and the three macros beside it without a second mode or a second app. The calorie tracking works offline, from the 13,521foods on the phone, a barcode, or a sentence spoken aloud.

Your first week with Fuel8.

Get one short email a day for seven days: food logging, recipes, workouts, progress and membership benefits. After that, occasional recipes and product updates.

You’ll get a confirmation email first. Nothing else until you confirm your choice. Then one guide each day for seven days.

Your name and email go to Grow More Services L.L.C-FZ, the company that builds Fuel8, and are stored in Resend so we can email you the seven-day app guide, membership benefits, recipes and product updates. An account is not required. Unsubscribe in one click, any time.

Make room for your next good day.
