Tare is a one-time $6.99 purchase on the App Store. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no ads.

Refunds are handled by Apple as the App Store seller of record. You can request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. We don't process payments directly.

No. Your nutrition data is stored locally on your device. If you enable iCloud sync, it goes to your iCloud account — we never have access to it. There are no analytics, no tracking, and no third-party SDKs.

Tare uses Apple's CloudKit to sync data across your Apple devices via your iCloud account. Make sure iCloud is enabled for Tare in Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Apps Using iCloud. Your data stays in your iCloud — we can't see or access it.

If you had iCloud sync enabled, your data persists in iCloud. Reinstall Tare and it will sync back. If iCloud wasn't enabled, the data is gone when the app is deleted.

Yes. Go to Profile → Export All Data for CSV files covering food, weight, water, supplements, fasting, check-ins, and goals. Food and water exports identify Tare or the originating Health app in a Source column. You can also sync Tare-authored calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber, and water to Apple Health.

Your data exports as CSV files at any time from Profile → Export All Data. The export covers food logs, weight, water, supplements, fasting sessions, daily check-ins, and goals. You're never trapped.

Food search results come from the USDA FoodData Central database, with your own custom foods ranked first. Barcode lookups check your own foods first, then Open Food Facts, then the USDA Branded database — which is why a food you create or correct wins every future scan. No personal data is sent with these requests — only the search term or barcode number.

Yes. If a food isn't in the database, you can create a custom food with your own nutrition values. Custom foods are saved locally and sync via iCloud.

You can build recipes from any foods in the database. Add ingredients with amounts, optionally set a cooked weight, and Tare calculates per-gram nutrition values. Then log portions by weight.

Yes. Add supplements in the Profile tab with dose info and assign them to timing groups (like Morning, Pre-workout, Night). You can set daily reminders for each timing group so you never miss a dose.

Yes. Tare reads and writes calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber, and water through one Apple Health toggle, and accepts those values from any app that saves them to Health, including WaterMinder. Imported rows are source-owned: you can remove one from Tare without deleting it from Health, and it will stay suppressed in Tare. Weight sync remains a separate toggle. Imported values are stored locally and, when enabled, in your private iCloud account; they are never sent to us.

Tare includes a read-only Today dashboard plus rectangular and circular calorie-progress widgets for Smart Stack and compatible complication slots. Your iPhone sends the latest calorie and macro snapshot to the Watch. The Watch keeps showing the last received snapshot while offline and rolls eaten values to zero after midnight. Food and water logging on Watch are not included in this release.

Yes. Food search requires an internet connection to query the USDA database, but logging, viewing, and editing your data all work offline. Previously searched foods are cached locally.

Tare is built natively in SwiftUI with deep integration into iOS features like SwiftData, CloudKit, WidgetKit, and Apple Health. There are no plans for an Android version — going native lets the app feel right and keeps it small enough for one developer to maintain. Your data exports as CSV, so you're never locked in.

Tare supports both metric and imperial units. You can switch in the Profile tab. Internally, all calculations use grams for accuracy.
