Aftertaste food diary & effect tracker

The meal was Tuesday. The trouble was Wednesday.

That gap is why food diaries fail. Aftertaste logs what you ate, asks how you feel hours later, and looks for the ingredients that keep turning up before a bad day.

Tue 19:00 pasta, garlic, parmesan 15 hours, nothing Wed 10:00 bloating, 6/10
Most people blame breakfast. Aftertaste looks back across a window you choose, up to three days.

How it works

  1. Write what you ate

    Plain words, the way you'd say it. Aftertaste breaks a dish into its ingredients and the components inside them — lactose, gluten, fructans, histamine.

  2. Answer a check-in

    A few taps, a few hours later. How's the bloating, the headache, the energy. Thirty seconds, and the timing is the point.

  3. Read the patterns

    Which components keep showing up before a bad day — and, just as useful, which ones can't be told apart yet because you always eat them together.

What it won't do

Aftertaste doesn't diagnose anything. No app can. It's a diary with statistics attached: it finds candidates and shows you the evidence behind each one, so you have something concrete to take to a doctor or dietitian instead of a hunch.

Your logs stay on your phone

There's no account, no sign-up, and no server holding your symptom history — it lives in your browser's storage on your own device. You can export everything as a file whenever you like, and that export is also your backup, so keep one.

Aftertaste is free to use.
