How can we help?

Your diary is stored in Morsel on your iPhone. There is no Morsel account or developer-run server copy. See the privacy policy for more on local records and the separate places backups can be stored.

At least one included entry is missing that nutrient. Morsel keeps an unknown value blank instead of treating it as zero. Trend averages use only logged days with a complete value for the selected nutrient; incomplete and unlogged days remain visible separately.

Morsel searches your saved foods first, then its bundled USDA SR Legacy catalog, which works offline. You can create a custom food, scan or enter a barcode, or submit a packaged-food search to Open Food Facts. Online search sends the search text you entered; a requested barcode lookup sends that barcode. The requests do not include your diary.

Open Preferences → Your data → Import from MyFitnessPal. Choose Paste food data or Choose .txt, .tsv, or .json file. Supported inputs are UTF-8 tab-separated tables or version 1 JSON, up to 256 KB and 250 nonblank records including headings. CSV and ZIP Premium meal-summary downloads are not supported. Import parsing and review stay on your iPhone; Morsel does not sign in to MyFitnessPal. Review selected foods or a meal before confirming what to save. Reconstructed meals do not include MyFitnessPal recipe details.

In Preferences → Try an offline example, choose Try 1 medium banana to review a sample estimate. You can edit the values and save the food to your Library. No key is needed.

Open Preferences → Food helper setup, select OpenRouter, OpenAI, or Anthropic, and save your API key. The Helper tab appears when the selected provider has a saved key and a model. The rest of Morsel works without a key.

Describe a food and portion, such as “one medium banana,” then tap Send. Choosing an example just fills the message box. With the keyboard open, tap Done to hide it or use the back arrow to return to Diary.

The greeting is built in. On your first Send for a provider and model, Morsel names the recipient and asks for permission. Once you agree, each later Send shares only that message and the instructions for estimating nutrition. Previous messages, your diary, and your saved foods stay out of the request. Providers may charge for requests and retain messages. See the food helper privacy details.

Tap Review food to check the serving, calories, and macros. Edit the values and tap Save to keep the food in Library. You can also choose a matching saved or catalog food and review its portion. Adding food to your diary takes a separate tap. The helper estimates foods you describe. It doesn’t set personal targets or give medical advice.

In Preferences → Food helper setup, select the provider. Choose Remove saved key and confirm Remove key to remove its key from this iPhone. The Helper tab disappears when the selected provider no longer has a key.

To keep the key but see the permission prompt again, choose Forget sharing consent for that provider.

If you want a copy first, open Preferences → Export backup and choose where to save it. Then choose Delete All Data in Preferences. Tap Cancel to keep everything, or confirm Delete All Data to erase it.

This clears your diary, saved foods and meals, targets, preferences, provider keys, sharing consent, and Morsel’s local recovery copies. The diary will be empty. Files you exported and records held by an AI provider are managed separately. See what deletion covers.

Open Preferences and use the Your data section. Export saves a versioned JSON file through the iOS file picker. Restore validates the selected file and shows the entry, food, and saved meal counts before asking whether to replace the diary. Cancel leaves the current diary as it is.

The bundled USDA catalog search and the diary work offline. Open Food Facts lookups and the optional AI helper require an internet connection and run only when you ask for them. Morsel does not upload diary records automatically.
