Bellynote is a food diary and symptom tracker that helps you connect what's on your plate to how your stomach responds, without the spreadsheet.
You log meals by photo and rate symptoms on a 0 to 10 scale. Bellynote sorts every ingredient into a food group, lines your symptoms up against what you ate over a lookback window you choose (4 to 24 hours), and ranks the foods and groups that show up most often around your rougher days. A pattern is a lead worth testing, not a diagnosis.
Snap a photo and AI identifies every ingredient in seconds. You can also scan a barcode, snap a nutrition label, or search the food database.
Meals (via camera or manual entry), symptoms with a severity scale, activities, sleep, stress, and menstrual cycle phase. Cycle and period data can be imported read-only from Apple Health or Health Connect so it lines up with everything else without double logging.
Twelve: grains and gluten, dairy, nightshades, legumes, cruciferous vegetables, FODMAPs, added sugar, caffeine, alcohol, fermented foods, spicy or capsaicin-containing foods, and tree nuts and peanuts. Ingredients get sorted automatically as you log.
Sage is the built-in food and symptom assistant. Ask a question in plain language and get answers pulled from your own logs.
No. Bellynote helps you notice patterns and share a clear timeline with your care team. It doesn't diagnose, treat or replace your doctor.
No. Bellynote helps you spot which foods are worth testing so you are not eliminating things at random. The most evidence-backed approach for gut symptoms is still a time-limited low-FODMAP trial with careful reintroduction, ideally guided by a registered dietitian. Bringing organized logs to that process makes it far easier.
Yes. Your logs are yours. Bellynote does not sell personal data, and health data imported from Apple Health or Health Connect is read-only, so Bellynote never writes back to those apps. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Bellynote is available now on iPhone from the App Store. Android is coming soon. Join the Android waitlist on the home page to hear the moment it is ready.
