FAQ
Questions, answered
Is Mealify really free?
Yes. Every feature — tracking, barcode scanning, recipes, quizzes, games and family competitions — is free with no ads or subscriptions. Optional donations keep it running.
How does Mealify calculate my calories?
We start with the Mifflin-St Jeor equation and your activity level, then refine it using your own logs: by comparing what you eat with how your weight trend changes, Mealify learns your real maintenance calories.
Can I scan barcodes?
Yes. Use your phone camera (or a photo of the barcode) to look up millions of packaged products via the open Open Food Facts database, then choose your portion.
How do family competitions work?
Create a family and share the invite code. Everyone scores points for consistency against their own goals — logging, hitting targets, weighing in and quizzes. The top scorer each week is crowned Family Nutrition Master.
Can I install it like an app?
Yes. Mealify is a Progressive Web App: on your phone choose "Add to Home Screen" and it opens full-screen like a native app.
