Photo Food Diary
Pick a meal slot, add a photo of what you ate, and your phone cuts the food out and sticks it on today’s page with a white die-cut border. Name the dish, add a quick note, and save the day as a 9:16 story. After a week you get a recap card like "Ramen 3 times this week". Download the stickers as transparent PNGs for GoodNotes, or print the blank food journal template. Photos are processed on your device and never uploaded.

How to use it
- 1
Tap a meal slot on the page (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack or coffee) and choose a food photo. On a phone you can take one right away.
- 2
Wait a moment and the food comes back as a cut-out sticker. The very first time downloads the cut-out model (about 100 MB), so it can take a minute; after that it takes a few seconds. Wi-Fi is a good idea for that first run.
- 3
Type the dish name and pick a note like "Again!" or "So good". If the cut-out looks off, switch to "Whole photo".
- 4
Tap "Save this day" for a story-sized image. Tap a weekday above the page to fill in earlier meals.
- 5
At the end of the week save the recap card, tap "Get PNG stickers" for GoodNotes, or "Blank PDF" for a printable food journal page.
FAQ
Is the food journal template PDF really free?
Yes, and there is no sign-up or email. "Blank PDF" downloads a portrait A4 page (it prints fine on US Letter with fit to page) with seven rows (Monday to Sunday), columns for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack and coffee, a sticker box in every cell and a one-line note per day. Print it for the fridge or import it into GoodNotes or Notability and write on it.
How does it cut the food out of my photo? Is my photo uploaded?
An open-source background removal model (@imgly/background-removal) runs inside your browser and keeps only the food and the dish. The first run downloads the model (about 100 MB), so it takes 30 seconds to a minute on Wi-Fi; after that it is cached and fast. Your photo never leaves your phone or computer and is not stored on our server.
How do I use the food stickers in GoodNotes?
Tap "Get PNG stickers" to export every sticker from that week as a transparent PNG. On a phone the share sheet opens so you can save them straight to Photos; on a computer you get a single ZIP. In GoodNotes, insert them as images or add them to your Elements collection so you can reuse them. The white border keeps them readable on any page color.
Which image should I post to my Instagram story?
"Save this day" exports 1080×1920 (9:16), which fills a story screen. The weekly recap card is 1080×1350 (4:5), the right shape for a feed post or X. If you only want the food in your story, save the PNG stickers and add them as photo stickers in the story editor.
Does it count calories or macros?
No. This is a cute diary for remembering what you ate, so it never judges calories, nutrition or whether you ate "well". If you need numbers for a diet or a medical reason, a nutrition app, the USDA FoodData Central database or a registered dietitian will be far more accurate.
Where is my diary saved? Can I see it on another device?
Only inside this browser (IndexedDB). Come back on the same phone and browser and the week is still there; another device or a private window will not see it. Entries older than five weeks are cleared automatically (so older days cannot be picked), and clearing your browser data removes them too. Save the recap card or the PNGs for weeks you want to keep.
The cut-out looks wrong. What can I do?
It works best when the food is large and centered on a plain table or tray. Several plates in one shot can confuse it. Tap the sticker and choose "Whole photo" to stick the photo as a rounded square instead, or "Change photo" to try another shot.
Any tips for keeping a food diary going?
Take one photo before you eat and add names and notes in the evening, all at once. You do not need every meal: stick the ones worth remembering, and by Sunday the recap card shows your habits, like "Pizza 3 times this week". You can tap earlier weekdays to catch up on a few days at a time.
