What is a food journal?

A food journal is a record of the meals you eat or cook over time. It can be as simple as saving a photo and dish name, or include recipes, ingredients, and memories.

Unlike calorie trackers, a food journal doesn't have to be about numbers. It can simply help you remember what you've made, discover what you cook most often, and decide what to make again.

Remember what you actually cook

Your camera roll is full of food photos. Your recipes are scattered across notes, social media, screenshots, and messages.

Mynu gives the meals you've actually made a place to live.

  • Save the photo

    Keep a visual record of every dish.

  • Add the details

    Add recipes, ingredients, labels, and a matching plate backdrop to decorate.

  • Find it again

    Browse and search the meals you've made whenever you need inspiration.

Your cooking, turned into a menu

Instead of scrolling through hundreds of photos to remember what you've made, build a menu of dishes you actually cook.

Pasta on Tuesday. Salmon bowls last weekend. That one soup you loved but forgot about.

It's all there when you need an answer to “what should we make?”

Look back at what you've been eating

See your everyday cooking through a calendar and timeline. Remember what you made last week, last month, or months ago.

  • Less salt.
