About this app

Puubu is a companion meal tracker and food diary that quietly logs what you eat and how your gut responds. Over time, it helps you spot patterns you might not notice on your own. Not a diet plan. Not a diagnosis. Just a clearer picture of what's actually happening.

HOW IT WORKS

Log a meal in seconds with a photo, barcode, or quick text search. Puubu fills in the ingredients for you. Note symptoms in three taps: a little, some, or a lot. Track bowel movements on one screen. Every week, Puubu reviews what it noticed.

WHAT MAKES PUUBU DIFFERENT

A companion, not a coach. Puubu shows what happened with enough detail that the conclusion is yours.

Patterns that build over time. The longer you log, the more specific the picture. "Dairy" becomes "high-fat dairy." Then "large portions on stressed days."

Symptom-specific. Bloating, heartburn, and irregular bowel days have different patterns. Puubu treats them separately.

Time-aware. Some foods hit fast, some hours later. Puubu notices the gap.

USEFUL IF YOU'RE TRACKING

- Gut symptoms commonly associated with IBS or food sensitivities
- Patterns people connect to acid reflux, GERD, or heartburn
- Bloating and gas after meals
- Bowel habit changes
- Food intolerances you're trying to narrow down
- Foods to consider during an elimination diet

THE WEEKLY REVIEW

The payoff for all the logging. A conversation that builds week by week. What Puubu noticed, what it's still watching, and a small mission for the coming week. Like a friend who genuinely notices things.

PRIVACY

Your data stays on your phone. No accounts, no social features, no data sold. Delete the app and your history goes with it. Request a copy of your data anytime from Settings.

PRICING

14-day free trial with the full experience. After trial, the free version still works: 7 ingredient lookups per week, manual logging anytime, weekly reviews on whatever you've logged. Pro is $5.99/month or $39.99/year for 150 ingredient lookups per month and richer weekly reviews.

Puubu is a personal food and symptom log. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

What’s new

I'm Puubu, a quiet companion for tracking what you eat and how your gut responds.
I tweaked the algorithm slightly, to avoid noisy items like oil, salt and water too show up too easily. There was also a bug with items not properly showing up in the Archive.
