Hey Product Hunt! Steve & Georges here, co-founders of a new mobile app we are very excited to launch: Journable! 🚀 ------------------ ❓ What is it? In summary, Journable is an AI chatbot that makes meal & exercise calorie tracking as easy as texting your friend. Just type in what you've eaten, drank, or exercised, and Journable will analyse, calculate, log, and track your daily calorie intake/expenditure. ------------------ 🎯 Why did we build it? We built Journable to address four (4) problems unaddressed with the current nutrition & exercise tracking apps: Complex recipes & exercises, Health professional client journal tracking, and local (international) foods. 1️⃣ Complex multi-ingredient recipes 🥘 I love paella. I'm sure you do too. That's why Journable is the right tool for you - because we all make our own versions of the timeless Valencian dish, and I'm pretty sure your homemade paella is a tad less fatty than the good stuff on the Costa Blanca. 🐟 With Journable, just type in whatever ingredients you used and you'll get an accurate approximation of nutritional value the finest AI model can produce. The value prop here is, a very easy and quick way to accurately capture your foods, that the current apps on the market fail to accommodate for (at least without a few dozen taps to customise ingredients/quantities). 💻 2️⃣ Complex workouts/non-typical exercises 💪 Ever tried to track the calorie burn of your compound leg day? Simply type (or paste) your entire workout routine in to the Journable chat window and have your numbers crunched before you make it up the stairs! 🦵 3️⃣ Health professional client journal tracking 👩‍⚕️ Nutritionists, dietitians, personal trainers, life coaches, or anyone who has a vested interest in the dietary & exercise habits of another human - look no further! Journable users can share their entire journal showing the entries, the time of consumption/exercise, the calorie analysis & calculations, and the daily balance. 🥑 Health professionals who prescribe 'journaling' for their clients can now save loads of time & effort in identifying eating habits, calculating calorie intake/burn, and capturing insights, all in one place with the Journable for Professionals app. 👩‍💻 4️⃣ Local (international) foods 🍢 No calorie tracker on the market works for our favourite foods. Be it a local dish with no English name 🍽️, a drink of very little fame🧉, or good old grandma's stew🍲, Journable can track it for you. ✅ Give it a try, you'll be amazed! Even type it in your native language if there is no English translation, and watch Journable do its thing. 📖 ------------------ 🤗 What do we want? We would LOVE some feedback that is not from our mothers! We hope you enjoy the app, and of course we are available for a chat at any time :) Thanks for reading this far, and happy hunting!

This is something interesting, and it will be a good competitor of MyFitnessPal

@shushant_lakhyani Hey Shushant! Glad to hear that - yes we are kind of entering the same space as MFP and the other players in the (crowded) space. Our hypothesis is that there is a market for the quick & easy input interface, without the very many taps and database searches to input foods. Happy to be wrong about that though!

A tool for everyone !

@salar__davari That's the plan! From speaking to users (early & potential), we had identified that the current food tracking apps did not meet their functionality and simplicity needs, especially when it came to edge cases like international foods or complex recipes. So we hopefully solved those problems with our generic solution making calorie counting easy & accessible to everyone (even my VERY non-technical parents!)

congratulations on the launch of journable, steve & georges! the simplicity and functionality of your AI-powered chat-based food & exercise calorie counter is impressive. love the focus on addressing the complexities of recipes, exercises, and incorporating local foods. i'm curious, how do you see journable evolving in the future to further enhance user experience and engagement? looking forward to seeing journable grow and wishing you all the success on product hunt!

@mashy Hey Albert, thanks for the kind words and glad you like it! The easy cop-out answer I can give to your question is "whatever the users say!", but I'll do your question more justice. We think the key word here is: frictionless. We have already drastically reduced the friction to inputting food/exercise entries by using the chat interface, but we think we can do more: push notification reminders and chat entry in the notification, homescreen widgets for input and tracking, and health data integration. Again, these are our hypotheses but we are open to learning what users actually see value in and building those out. What do you think?

💡 Bright idea
hey looks awesome I've been waiting for smth like this that brings diet and exercise together. on the workout side — can this be automated at some point? like I sync my Strava or wearable account and Journable will pull the workout data + steps/day. Would be lovely!

@john__mct Hope you enjoy the app John, and if you do use it we would love to hear your thoughts/ideas! As for the workout automation, we are deliberating on the value of integrating it with the phone health data (which ingests data from Strava/wearables). Is this a key feature you would expect? and, do you think it works with the chat interface?

Wow, this new Journable tool looks like a game-changer! As a fitness geek, I'm really excited about having a dedicated place vs using a Notes. Already trying it out, wait for the feedback @stevehoyek !

It's incredible how Journable adapts to everything I eat or do. The AI is surprisingly intuitive, making it easier than ever to stay on top of my fitness goals. A must-have for anyone serious about health. Cheers to making health tracking easier, Steve & Georges!

Have been looking for a way to more easily track macros - love that this is story or narrative based. What is the accuracy of the macros? Does this depend on the input you enter, more accurate input and more accurate results? I'd love to see a way to take the output (i.e. macro counting) into another source. Congratulations on launching!
