Feel great about what you ate.

FREE trial available on iPhone, iPad, & Android (BETA)

Track what you ate, why you ate, and how it made you feel, with Ate — the Mindful Food Journaling app.

The Ate app

It’s visual, mindful, and non-judgmental.

Instead of calories, Ate helps you focus on how meals make you feel.

It’s also really easy to use!

And users love it!

“I love this app so much. It allows me to track my food quickly, with no judgment and truly reflect to make a difference in my eating. I also love that I can follow friends — it’s so helpful to see what we’re all doing. The best part is the ease of use and the simplicity of logging.”Nooops

“Tracking calories is burdensome and restrictive. Our food choices should come internally, not from external restrictions. But we’re busy getting in touch with hunger cues and understanding why we eat is so crucial, but hard without accountability (another key feature of Ate!). It’s so easy to use! I upgraded to premium to track my workouts, moods, and liquids. It’s not much/month. Totally worth it!!!”AMMAamma

“I started using the Ate app a week ago and couldn’t be happier. I finally have found a tool that makes a lot of sense to me and it’s something I actually enjoy doing. The visual reminder of what I’m eating is ke for me. ”Pmw8

“Can’t thank you enough for this epic app! In just a few days I have more awareness toward what, and why, I’m eating... It’s totally changed my relationship with meals. Thank you so much!”Angela

“I am a huge fan of this app’s design and overall approach to managing a healthy diet. Has helped me to observe and reflect on my food choices without judgement. Not only can I identify snacking or craving periods, it has helped me manage emotional eating through awareness.”Elisa

“Simple and perfect! This will make you reflect on why you ate and how you feel about it, removing any judgment and not imposing any limits. It’s helped me overcome overeating.”Chris

“I just wanted to say THANK YOU for developing this app! It’s helping me overcome my binge eating disorder by moving away from calorie-counting while preserving positive aspects of keeping a food journal.”Misha

“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. I love this app!”PH

“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!”Christina

“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.”Phil

Attitudes Hindering Healthy Eating Habits

Eating healthy doesn’t have to be difficult, but we really like to overcomplicate things. After years of working with clients, I have found three overarching themes arise when it comes to adopting healthy eating habits: All-or-Nothing thinking; Not listening to our bodies; and Quick fixes. Each of these inhibits our ability to adopt healthy eating practices. Let’s talk about why...

How Moving to Mexico Helped Heal My Relationship with Food

Before moving to Mexico, I still had some fear around eating carbs. Fruits and veggies were ok, but I was still considering things like bread or tortillas to be too “unhealthy” for some reason. But now, having lived in Mexico for nearly a year, I have been blessed with the opportunity to enjoy the Mexican tradition of eating tortillas with...

About us

We wanted to find a way to enjoy life, eat great food, and have the energy to do it all. We found that food journaling was the best way to do this. After trying all the other food journaling and calorie counting apps, we were disappointed. None of them felt right.

We wanted to create a food journaling app that made it easier to pick the foods that make us feel healthier: physically, mentally, and emotionally.

So we created Ate, a journal that is simple to use, helps us understand our own behaviors, and enables us to find a sustainable path towards a happy and healthy lifestyle.
