Who is behind Healthy Buddy
Healthy Buddy is built and maintained by Gianmarco Ebeling, an independent software developer. There is no large company behind the app: one person designs the features, writes the code, answers support emails, and maintains the nutrition database that powers both the app and this website.
That has a practical upside. When something is wrong, whether it is a bug, a confusing screen, or an incorrect nutrition value, the report goes straight to the person who can fix it. There is no ticket queue between you and the fix.
What Healthy Buddy is
Healthy Buddy is a calorie and nutrition tracking app for iOS and Android. Its core feature is AI food recognition: you take a photo of your meal, describe it in plain words, or use your voice, and the app estimates calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat for you. Around that core, the app adds a wellness diary, workout logging, intermittent fasting timers, and supplement reminders, so your daily habits live in one place.
The website you are reading complements the app with a free food database, nutrition calculators, and reference guides. Nutrition values for whole foods come from USDA FoodData Central, and prepared dishes are clearly labeled as estimates. You can read exactly how that works on our methodology page.
The mission
Most people quit food tracking because it is tedious, not because it does not work. Healthy Buddy exists to remove that friction. If logging a meal takes five seconds instead of five minutes, you will still be tracking three months from now, and consistency is what actually moves the needle on health goals.
Healthy Buddy is a wellness tool, not a medical one. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace professional advice. For any medical or dietary condition, please talk to a qualified healthcare provider.
