All goalsFoods are ranked by the quality of the human evidence behind them — not by a nutrition score we invented.
A Know2Eat app is being built. It isn't here yet.
There is no App Store listing, no Play Store listing, and nothing to download — so we are not going to show you buttons that pretend otherwise. The waitlist is the whole offer: one email, from us, on the day there is something real to install.
What the app will add over this website
- Your saved foods, offlineFavourites and collections cached on the device, so a kitchen with no signal is still a kitchen with the nutrient panel in it.
- Search in one tapStraight into the search field from the home screen — no barcode to find, no packet to hold up to a camera.
- Built for one handThe same evidence-rated profiles, laid out for a phone held at the counter rather than a browser tab.
- Told when the evidence movesAn optional notification when a rating on a food you saved changes, and what changed it. Ratings do move — that is the point of rating them.
Hear about it first
Tell us which phone you carry and we will build for that one first.
You don't have to wait to use it on a phone
Know2Eat is a website first and always will be — the full database, every nutrient panel and every citation, already works on a phone screen. Open it in Safari and choose Share → Add to Home Screen, or in Chrome Menu → Add to Home screen. It installs with its own icon and opens without browser chrome. That is a real thing you can do in the next ten seconds, and it costs nothing.
Evidence first, always
Every nutrient figure comes from a named USDA FoodData Central record. Every claim carries an evidence rating that reflects the state of the human research, and links to the papers behind it. When the evidence is thin, we say so — and we list the popular claims that do not hold up, rather than quietly leaving them out.
