I lost 10lbs while using the nutrition app I built, so I’m giving away 10 one-year iOS subscriptions :)

Hi, I'm Eli, designer and developer of Levelday, and I recently crossed 10lbs lost while using it to keep track of my own days.

Levelday helped me stay aware of my calories, protein, water, weight, and routines without making tracking feel overbearing. I even went on a couple of vacations and overate, but got back on the wagon.

That matters because I’ve downloaded plenty of nutrition apps, tracked for a few days, and stopped when logging became more demanding than the habits I was trying to improve. Missing one snack or meal could make the whole day feel ruined.

So I built Levelday to answer where does today stand?

What it offers:

✅ Calories, protein, water, weight, and custom goals
✅ Saved foods, routines, and shortcuts for repeat meals
✅ Barcode, nutrition-label, and meal-photo scanning
✅ Weekly and monthly reports for spotting patterns

To celebrate, I’m giving away 10 free one-year Levelday Plus subscriptions for iOS.

To enter, comment with one or two sentences about what you’d like to track or what has frustrated you about other nutrition apps. I’ll message 10 people who seem genuinely interested in trying Levelday and sharing honest feedback.

If you don’t receive a link, you can still use the core app for free. Log with Levelday for seven days, then you’ll be offered a two-week Plus trial with all premium features. Afterward, you can choose weekly, monthly, or yearly renewal.

This is a tool that helped me stay aware and consistent, and I’d love to hear whether it can do the same for you.

I’m building Levelday for people who want useful nutrition awareness without turning every meal into a detailed logging project.

The main idea is to quickly see what you’ve logged today, what remains, and where you stand relative to your goals. You can track calories, protein, water, weight, and custom metrics, with faster options like saved foods, barcode scanning, freeform meals, and meal-photo estimates.

I’m looking for people willing to try it for a few days and share honest feedback, especially:

• What feels confusing or takes too long?
• Does daily logging feel meaningfully simpler?
• What would make you keep using it?
• What’s missing, unnecessary, or poorly designed?

It’s available on iOS and Android. Core tracking is free, and the optional Plus features have a one-week trial.

Positive or honest feedback is equally welcome. I’m mainly trying to learn where the app needs to improve.

We recently updated the App Store screenshots for Levelday, a simpler calorie and nutrition tracker. I’ve attached our current conversion data alongside the screenshots so you can see both the performance and what prospective users see.

Our main positioning is that Levelday helps people understand where their day stands without taking minutes of your day trying to log every single detail. Based on the listing, is that value clear quickly enough? I know I am burying the lede on the camera feature for barcode, nutrition-label scanning, and food picture logging.

I’d especially appreciate feedback on the first three screenshots, the opening hook, and whether the overall listing feels compelling enough to download. What would you change first to improve conversion? Conversion rate is in the second image.

I’m a solo founder building Levelday, a simpler calorie, nutrition, and weight tracker. The paid plan includes barcode, nutrition-label, and meal-photo scanning, custom nutrients, routines, reports, unlimited history, and data export.

Plus currently costs $34.99 per year with a one-week free trial. That puts us below MyFitnessPal, Cronometer, and MacroFactor, while still giving us enough margin after Apple and Google’s fees. The paywall is modeled after AllTrails, to be a short feature overview followed by a prominent annual-plan trial offer.

We (GPT and I) are now trying to determine whether the offer is strong enough and how to find our first paying customers. Does the price feel appropriate, or would you test a different trial, monthly option, lifetime purchase, or paywall structure? Where would you focus first to validate demand and improve conversion?

Would love to get some feedback on my new app called Levelday, specifically regarding onboarding and pricing. Thanks!

I wanted to make everyday tracking easier because most apps in this space are complicated and riddled with ads. Meal and entry creation has been redesigned, onboarding has been rebuilt from the ground up, goal planning is cleaner, and free users can now try more of the app before deciding on Plus.

Most of these changes came directly from feedback over the past few months, so thanks to everyone who took the time to share ideas and bug reports.

Price: Free to download. Levelday Plus is $34.99/year (7-day free trial).

To celebrate the update, I’m giving away 10 free 1-year Levelday Plus memberships (normally $34.99/year).

To enter:

• Upvote this post :)
• Leave 1–2 sentences about how you’d use Levelday or what usually makes you stop tracking.

I’ll pick 10 people over the next 48 hours and message them with access.

If you end up trying the app, I’d love your honest feedback. Every update so far has come directly from conversations with people using it!

Launched Levelday, a simple calorie and water tracker. Have about 160 users so far, but getting reviews has been tricky. Unsure what to do here, any advice? I put a “Review the app” modal after the user had completed a successful day, and a couple others for common actions. Any advice?

Hey everyone, I’m looking for beta testers for Levelday, a simple nutrition tracker for iOS and Android.

I built Levelday because I quit all of the logging apps I've used in the past, like MyFitnessPal... logging snacks felt annoying, small meals felt like extra work, and once I missed something, it was easy to stop caring for the rest of the day.

Levelday is meant to be a simpler daily check-in for calories, protein, water, weight, and routines. The goal is to help people see where their day stands without turning food tracking into another chore.

I’m looking for feedback on:

• Onboarding
• Daily tracking flow
• Food lookup and freeform meal logging
• Camera meal estimates
• What feels useful, confusing, or unnecessary
• Whether the app feels simple enough to keep using

No medical advice or diet coaching involved. I’m trying to see whether the product (and pricing) is clear, useful, and easy to stick with.

As a solo dev/designer, I recently launched Levelday, a simple nutrition tracker for iOS.

I built it because I kept trying apps like MyFitnessPal and eventually quitting. They’re powerful, but for the kind of habit I wanted, they felt too cumbersome. Logging felt like work and once I missed something, it was easy to stop caring for the rest of the day (and continue eating).

I wanted something easier to use.

Levelday is built around a simple daily check-in of calories, protein, water, weight, and routines. I want it to help users see where their day stands and move on.

A few things it does:

✅ Tracks the basics without a complicated dashboard
✅ Keeps calories, protein, water, and weight easy to check
✅ Lets you save routines for things you repeat often
✅ Supports food lookup, freeform meal logging, and camera meal estimates in Plus

I’m working through positioning, onboarding, screenshots, and what actually helps people stick with tracking.

Would love feedback from other builders on the app, the positioning, or how you’d approach distribution in a crowded category.

Finally down 7 lbs after feeling stuck for a long time.
I’ve been on a weight loss journey for what feels like forever, but over the past few months I’ve tried to keep it pretty simple with more consistent gym days, more cardio, and a deficit that doesn’t make me miserable or want to binge.

I’m mostly just trying to make better choices more often and not let an off day turn into an off week. I track my meals and snacks, usually loosely with estimates, and I’m trying to look at food more as fuel instead of something I’m either “good” or “bad” about.

The weight loss feels good and feels repeatable.

Curious what helped things click for everyone else?

Have you ever downloaded a nutrition app, tracked for a few days, then gave up because it felt like you were managing the app more than your actual day?

That kept happening to me.

MyFitnessPal-style apps are useful, but for the kind of tracking I wanted, they felt too bloated. Logging snacks was annoying, small meals felt like extra work, and once I missed something, it was easy to stop caring for the rest of the day (and continue to snack).

So I built Levelday.

It’s a simple iOS nutrition tracker for keeping an eye on calories, protein, water, weight, and daily routines. The goal is not to tell you exactly what to eat. It is just to make it easier to know where your day stands.

What it does:

✅ Tracks the basics without a huge dashboard
✅ Keeps calories, protein, water, and weight easy to check
✅ Lets you save routines for things you repeat often
✅ Helps tracking feel more like a quick daily check-in than a chore

I’m mainly looking for honest feedback from other indie app builders.

If you try Levelday, I’d love to know:

What feels clear?
What feels confusing?
Would you understand the app from the first screen?
What would make you more likely to keep using it?

I’m also happy to try your app and send honest feedback in return. If Levelday is genuinely useful to you, an App Store rating or review is appreciated, but no pressure either way.

I recently launched Levelday, a simple nutrition tracker for iOS, and I’m trying to figure out distribution without spending much money.

The app is built for people who want to keep an eye on calories, protein, water, weight, and daily routines without using a heavier nutrition app every day.

Right now, I’m trying to learn three things:

• Where should I be showing up?
• What kind of posts would actually be useful instead of feeling like self-promo?
• What would you test first with a small budget?

I know nutrition tracking is a crowded category, so I’m not expecting one magic channel. I’m mostly trying to find a practical starting point for getting the app in front of the right people and learning what resonates.

Would appreciate any feedback on positioning, channels, or cheap experiments you’d try first. Much appreciated!

Side note: In the screenshot the in-app purchases look cool but they were free lifetime codes that helped with an initial spike and not much else.

Answer

Levelday is a simple nutrition tracker for people who want to understand where their day stands without turning food tracking into a second job.

I built it after repeatedly bouncing off larger apps (e.g. MyFitnessPal, LoseIt) that felt too busy for the habit I wanted. Tracking started to feel like managing another inbox with too much pressure to log everything perfectly.

Levelday is meant to be simpler to use. It helps you keep an eye on daily basics like calories, protein, water, weight, and routines so you can make the next choice with a little more context.

Better

Most nutrition apps I tried felt like they wanted me to manage my whole food life inside the app.

Levelday is smaller on purpose.

It’s more of a quick daily check-in for calories, protein, water, weight, and routines. Open it, see where the day stands, make the next choice, move on.

Cost

Levelday is free to download with a 7-day free trial for Levelday Plus.

Levelday Plus is $4.99/month and unlocks the full tracking experience.

Disclosure: I’m Eli, the founder/designer/developer of Levelday.

I’ve been on a caloric deficit kick for a few weeks (~1,500 cal/day) and wanted to share the breakfast/snack routine I’ve been using so far.

Right now it’s pretty simple:

7 almonds — about 50 calories
1 Larabar Mini — about 110 calories

So around 160 calories total.

I like that it’s easy to repeat, quick to grab, and doesn’t make me feel like I’m overthinking breakfast. That said, I know it’s pretty small, so I’m curious what others here would add or swap while still keeping it simple and calorie-friendly.

Would you add more protein, more volume, fruit, yogurt, eggs, or something else? I’m trying to build something I can actually stick with, so simple suggestions are welcome.

This is part of a pre-workout routine.

I’m giving away 10 free 1-year subscriptions for Levelday Plus on iOS, normally $4.99/month.

Levelday is a simple nutrition tracker for keeping an eye on calories, protein, water, weight, and daily routines without making food tracking feel like a second job.

I built it because most tracking apps felt too heavy: too many screens, too much friction, and too much pressure to log everything perfectly. Levelday is designed to answer one question quickly: where does today stand?

If you’re interested, reply with 1–2 sentences about how you’d use Levelday in your daily routine. I’ll choose 10 people who are interested in trying it and sharing honest feedback.

The free year renews at the standard price after the offer period unless canceled through Apple subscriptions.

Feedback would mean a lot while the app is still improving.

Edit: I will be back in a few hours to give away codes!

Edit 2: Thanks everyone, feel free to dm me and say `Levelday` — I'll send out another ~20 codes

Edit 3: Codes are all taken for now, but I will be back with more!

I wanted a better way to track calories, protein, water, and daily metrics without the full meal/database workflow, so I built a simpler tracker around quick manual logging, shortcuts, routines, history, and reports. App is called Levelday on iOS (and Android)

I'm giving 10 free lifetime Levelday Pro access codes to r/iOSAppsMarketing for anyone who wants to try it and optionally send feedback. No review is required or expected.

If you’re interested, comment with one thing you wish calorie-tracking apps did better. I'll continue to improve the app based on your feedback, and any help is appreciated!

One note: the codes are for Levelday Pro only. They do not include Levelday Analyze, which is a separate subscription for meal text and food photo nutrition analysis because it relies on third-party provider services with ongoing usage costs.

Do these hit the mark or do I need more pictures of actual food? Also, unsure about "Avoiding your food tracker?" as a lead-in. Pushing an update in the next couple of days, so happy to incorporate some changes.

Levelday is a calorie, water, and macro tracker (I know there are tons of these apps already), so looking for a way to differentiate with this minimal ui.
