ate - mindful photo food diary
“I just wanted to let you know that since I started using your app I have lost 30lbs. I have tried MANY different things to lose weight (counting calories, macros, different diets) but I have found that this is the only thing that has helped me. So I wanted to thank you very much!” - from Christina
“This app changed everything for me! I’ve lost 9 pounds so far, am absolutely not on a diet, do not feel deprived, and have never eaten better! Having to take a picture of everything I eat greatly encourages me to choose colorful, healthy options, pay more attention to portion sizes, and to think twice about whether I really want to eat something. It’s also very reinforcing to look back at my food choices and feel proud of them. I love this app!” - PH
"I LOVE this app! I was looking for something exactly like this because I can’t be bothered to enter calories or even (or even search for) food descriptions. All I needed was something to make me be aware of what I was eating, and to record whether it was on the path or not. You have made it so easy and it’s really helping me every day! Please never change it. It’s perfect!!" - Phil

Why do we need a journal?
Our days are jam-packed, and we’re constantly running from one place to another. Do we actually remember what we snacked on earlier today? Do we remember how many handfuls we actually ate of those nuts? Do we ever pause to think about why we are eating? Was it hunger or emotions?
ate helps us realize what and why we actually ate, how we feel during the day and how active we truly are. It helps us spot habits and patterns so we can embrace the nourishing ones and replace the others.
How does it work?
ate helps you quickly capture your meal before you eat. With a few simple taps, you can keep notes about your meal and learn about your hunger cues. You’ll soon realize how food affects your day-to-day activities and performance in and out of the office. YouAte helps track the time of your meal and the time between meals. If you are starving by lunchtime, you can see what you had earlier. Maybe you didn’t eat the right food to fuel you throughout the morning. ate helps you connect the dots to understand your mood and energy!
ate also helps you capture what you drink. Tracking water, coffee, alcohol, juice or soda consumptions has never been this easy. It puts everything on a visual timeline with your meals so you can better understand your habits. [Premium]
Don’t forget about physical activities you do! Not only it’s an important part of your overall health, it can also have a significant impact on your appetite. [Premium]
ate is your personal health journal. On its own, it enhances your mindfulness and self-awareness. If you choose, it can be shared with your coach, nutritionist, or close friends for additional motivation.

Hard to say if I like this app since very little is available on the free version, and the pop-up to purchase the paid version wouldn't load properly. It seems pretty user friendly and the design is clean though.
I'm liking it, but I wish I could control more for combining meals! Like choosing what the top photo is, manually choosing existing meals to merge, stuff like that. (If it is possible, it's just not immediately obvious)
I love it. Super easy to use, and you dont need to worry about putting in a million different details about what you ate. It just helps you to hold yourself accountable and decide whether you are happy with what you are eating. If you're wanting an app that will help you eat healthier without worrying about weight loss or calorie counting, this one is perfect 😇❤
Fantastic app idea! Just a minor bug: when I make a note about my meal, and check and emoji or tag where I ate, the app bounces back to the top of the page. VERY annoying. otherwise loving the app!
I just downloaded this app it did not give me a choice of creating an account. The choices I have are someone invited me, I have an account or continue on my own. I chose continue on my own but could go no further than the page that says I can do that.
I didn't like that I had to subscribe to try this app out. Its got some good tips, but I didn't get to try them out. I just didn't use it enough to make it worth subscribing to. I think it's overpriced for what it is. I would have preferred an ad based model.
Paywall as soon as you sign up so you cant try out or use it without signing up for a subscription. There's a 7 day free trial but no free option.
This is the best food journal by far. So simple and easy to use. All the features I need. Highly recommended!
Will not use any app that requires a subscription
It's cute. It's quick and simple and I use it.
Nowhere did it mention this is a subscription app until I had to enter my email. So disappointed, looked interesting but there's plenty of free apps out there to not pay for this one.
Easy to use. Love it app.
It would have been nice if it would have said that there was a trial or that it cost money before downloading the app I thought it was free? I don't like wasting my time to try to set up an app and then find out did it cost money!
Paywall as soon as you download it; not even a minimum of free features, which is a shame because it doesn't seem other people are making apps like this. In sure it's a great app if you have money 🤷
App is great! Other reviews complain that it asks for your email address, but I have received no spam or anything annoying from the app. Would reccomend! Helped me quit chocolate milk addiction
Awesome. Just use it.
This ain't free at all
Use to be a free app with in app purchases, now you have to pay to use the app at all. Greedy.
Everything is trapped behind a paywall.
Life changing app. I highly recommend it❤❤ i loveeeee it😍😍😍
Not a free app.
Without this app I would not be able to control my food boundaries. This app has been a game changer for my diet and health.
Great. Use fir trama therapy
I like this app a lot! I'm on a diet for non-weight reasons and Ate gives me a space to log my food in a helpful and cute way without being forced to count calories and without the judgment that comes with weight loss apps. But I do have one request that keeps it from being five stars: please allow us to set up questions with a free text response. I'd like to log my autoimmune symptoms in more detail than I can currently. Thanks!
