Rebuilt from the ground up — with four new areas
Version 7 is not a refresh. The app was rebuilt from the ground up — and four areas are entirely new. What stays is the principle: every claim about a food is backed down to the study. What changes is everything else.
Here is what is new, in just under three minutes — and where to read up on each feature at your own pace.
2:50 — goal, recipe, analysis, weekly plan, shopping list. Watch it on YouTube .
Secrets & treasure vault — three every day
A nutrition tip you read once is gone the next day. So food Secrets does not hand you everything at once — you get three secrets a day — ten with Pro. Small enough to remember, and often enough that 200+ secrets become real knowledge over weeks.
What is also new is wo they appear: right inside the recipe and on every food in the detail view, instead of only in a section of their own.
Opened secrets stay in your treasure vault. You gather experience, unlock Signature Secrets — and can schedule any secret into your weekly plan. That is exactly where knowledge becomes a habit.
Cooking mode — step by step, not scraps of paper
An imported recipe is only worth something once it reaches the plate. Cooking mode walks you through the recipe one step at a time, in large type and with that step's ingredients right beside it.
“Simmer for 15 minutes” becomes a timer you start with one click. Tips appear where they matter. The screen stays on — no wet finger on a dark display.
Fasting timer — 16:8 intermittent fasting without a second app
Most people run one app for the clock and a second for the food. In food Secrets the two sit side by side: the Fasting timer runs next to your weekly plan, your recipes and your 1000+ curated foods.
16:8 and other protocols, a running timer, history and reminders — and because the eating window sits beside the meal plan, you see not only wann you eat, but also was.
New design — dark, calm, in four languages
The whole app was redesigned from the ground up: calm surfaces, clear typography, and nothing standing between you and your decision. The dark mode is the is the app's grounding — a light mode stands ready beside it when you need it.
And food Secrets speaks German, English, French and Italian — food names, secrets and recipe analysis included. For a Swiss product that is not a luxury.
Also new — the small things

Food comparison

German, English, French, Italian — food names and secrets included. Switch language without losing anything.
Guest mode & app tour
See the whole app before you decide on an account. The short tour walks you through the areas. How to start
Improved since launch
Version 7 shipped in July. Since then we have worked mostly on what you do not see at first — the data underneath, the maths on top of it, and the places where the app had to guess.
1000+ foods
The Swiss BLV nutrient tables, extended with USDA data. Names and synonyms are cleaned up in all four languages, so the same ingredient stays the same everywhere. To the Food Rankings
Sharper ranks
Every goal re-evidenced and recalculated. Omega-3 now counts as EPA, DHA and ALA instead of a yes-no „is fish“ flag — which puts flaxseed and salmon where they belong. See the ranking
Four new goals
Antimicrobial, Digestion & liver, Brain & cognition and Immune balance. The app now scores 15 goals instead of eleven. See the areas
Recipe import
Ingredients and units — tbsp, tsp, bunch, pinch, cup — are recognised far more reliably, and nearly every ingredient finds its food in the database. Existing recipes were relinked once. To the recipe generator
Food detail
What makes a food special is now at the top — with charts instead of a wall of tiles, and the insights right beside them. To the Food Lab
Starter recipes
New accounts no longer start empty, but with recipes that match the goal you picked. See the recipes
