What we collect:nothing.

Last updated April 24, 2026

BiteDeck is a local-first app. Your nutrition log, your weight, your body fat entries, your fasts, your water, your photos — all of it lives in SwiftData on your iPhone. There is no BiteDeck cloud, no account, no sign-up.

On your device

Everything you log stays on your phone. When iOS backs up your device to iCloud (if you've enabled that at the OS level), BiteDeck's data is included in your personal backup automatically. We never receive or store a copy of it.

What BiteDeck sends off-device

  • Food photos you scan

    Sent through BiteDeck's own proxy to Google Gemini Vision for recognition, then returned as an item list. We do not retain your images. We do not train on them. If you'd rather not scan, skip it — every meal can be logged by search, barcode, label OCR, or freeform.

  • Exercise descriptions you paste

    Sent through the same proxy for parsing into duration/intensity/calories. Not retained. Not trained on.

  • Ingredient descriptions you add

    Sent through the same proxy for structured parsing. Not retained. Not trained on.

  • Coach messages

    On-device context about your day (macros, recent meals, profile basics) accompanies each Coach turn so the reply is relevant. Chat history lives on your device; you can delete it at any time.

No message, photo, or description is ever tied to a BiteDeck account, because there is no account.

Apple Health

HealthKit is the only external integration, and it is opt-in. You choose to connect. Every metric — steps, active energy, workouts, weight, body fat, dietary energy, macros, fiber, sugar, sodium, water — has its own toggle. Turn any one off without disconnecting everything.

Apple Health data never leaves your phone through BiteDeck.

This website

bitedeck.app ships no analytics, no tracking pixels, no cookie banner, no third-party scripts. We don't know when you visit. We don't know where you came from. We don't log IP addresses. The App Store download link is a plain hyperlink.

Your controls

  • Export

    Settings → Export Data → CSV (weights + meals) or PDF (30-day summary). Share anywhere or keep a local copy.

  • Erase

    Settings → Erase All Data → type ERASE to confirm. Nukes SwiftData, progress photos, UserDefaults, and every BiteDeck-authored HealthKit sample. Irreversible on purpose.

  • Revoke HealthKit

    Apple Health app → Sharing → BiteDeck → turn off any metric or all of them. BiteDeck detects the change silently and stops writing.
