What food Secrets is not

  • Not a diet app — we are a food-enjoyment app with a science core.
  • Not a calorie counter — we show what is in your food, not how much you should cut back.
  • Not a stress factor — eating is one of life's greatest pleasures; we don't turn it into a chore.
  • Not ad-funded — no paid placement in your recommendations.
  • Not a generic AI chat — goal-bound, evidence-based, focused on you.
★ Version 7

Rebuilt — and in four languages

With version 7 we rebuilt food Secrets from the ground up. Not because the old design was bad, but because an app meant to be with you every day has to feel that way: calm surfaces, clear typography, and nothing standing between you and your decision.

There is a dark mode and a light one — one on the sofa at night, the other in a bright kitchen. And food Secrets speaks German, English, French and Italian, food names and secrets included. For a Swiss product that is not a luxury.

Our story

The story behind it

Why food Secrets?

After two severe blows of fate in my family, I decided to make everyday life with healthy eating easier for people. Not with bans or trends — but with real science that genuinely arrives in everyday life.

food Secrets grew from the wish to close the gap between what research knows and what people eat every day. From the study to the shopping list.
