Every morning TeddyBite suggests one simple dish, one coffee or tea and one smoothie — matched to your cuisine and to what you want to achieve. You log nothing and search for nothing. One quiet notification a day, and a button for “not today”.
Two emails, no more: a short confirmation now, one message when the app is ready.
The device below is a clickable model of the app. Pick a cuisine and a goal, switch tabs, press “Not today” — the real app will behave exactly like this.
Example cards with rounded values. The model shows three dishes per cuisine to browse — the app holds 120, so a dish returns after four months at the earliest. Every nutrient figure comes from one checked source per cuisine.
Three cards, nothing else. Plate, cup, glass — each with minutes, ingredient count and calories. A tap opens the ingredient list, four steps and the shortcut for days without time. The ring fills as you view or tick off a card. “Not today” hides everything, and your streak stays put.
Each card takes minutes to read and minutes to make. What is on it is deliberately brief — and every number says where it comes from.
One simple dish with ingredients, amounts and at most six steps. Plus calories, protein, fibre, salt and added sugar — rounded, with a source. A swap hint if an ingredient is missing.
One coffee or tea, a different one every day: water temperature, steeping time, amount, a caffeine-free variant. No health promise about the drink — just the preparation that tastes good.
One smoothie with all ingredients and the order they go into the blender. For every ingredient, one sentence on what it contributes — in plain, provable words — no miracles. Whole fruit with fibre, never juice as the base.
All four guidelines — USA, China, Europe, Nigeria — say the same six things. That is why they sit on every card as symbols.
Most apps ask for permission on first launch and then make noise. TeddyBite drops its notification quietly into your notification list — no prompt, no sound, no screen lighting up. Sound is a switch you flip, not us.
At 7:30, or whenever you choose. On weekends, none if you prefer.
“Today: shakshuka 15 min · filter coffee · berry oat” — you know without opening.
One button hides the day. Your streak stays put. Nothing is lost, and no message nags you.
Each cuisine brings its own dishes, drinks, units and the country’s official dietary guideline. You can switch any time — and if you like, Sunday brings an excursion into another cuisine.
Guideline 2025–2030: more protein, at most 10 g added sugar per meal, avoid highly processed foods.
Guideline 2022: 300 to 500 g of vegetables a day, twelve different foods daily, never skip breakfast.
2024 recommendation for Germany, Austria, Switzerland: pulses every week, a handful of nuts a day, less meat.
Guideline: vegetables and fruit at every meal, little salt, sugar and bouillon cubes, seasonal fruit in plenty.
Chinese cuisine means the cuisine, not the distribution. TeddyBite is for everyone who loves this food — in Europe, America, Singapore or Hong Kong. Distribution in mainland China is not planned at present.
Counter apps are fine if you want to log every meal. Studies name exactly that logging as the most common reason people quit. TeddyBite turns it around: we suggest, you decide.
| Counter app | TeddyBite | |
|---|---|---|
| Logging | every meal, every day | never — a “cooked” tick is optional |
| Searching a database | yes, thousands of entries | no, three cards |
| Notifications | several a day, with sound | one, quiet |
| Account | required | none needed |
| Cuisine | one database for everyone | four cuisines, each with its own guideline |
| Skipping a day | streak breaks | streak stays |
| Exact control over every calorie | yes, that is its purpose | no — if you want precise numbers, this is the wrong app |
The numbers TeddyBite is built on. Each with origin and year; all read at the original source on 4 September 2026.
Figures from industry sources are orders of magnitude, not promises. Studies behind a paywall were confirmed through the Europe PMC database.

The core stays free: the three cards, “Not today”, ten days of history, favourites, one cuisine and one goal.
A Pro subscription is planned — with a year view, unlimited favourites and a shopping list. The price is not fixed yet; it will sit below what calorie counters charge. Payment goes through Apple or Google, like any app.
No. Cards, history, favourites and goals stay on your device. An account exists only if you want your favourites on a second device — and you can delete it inside the app.
From one verified source per cuisine: the US Department of Agriculture’s food database, Open Food Facts, the Chinese food composition table and the Nigerian food composition table of 2017. We round to ten calories and write “approx.”, because every kitchen cooks differently from the table.
No. TeddyBite is an everyday helper for healthy adults, not a medical device. If you are ill, pregnant, allergic or on medication, ask your doctor. Iron and vitamin D are only supplemented with a blood test — the app says so on every card that mentions them.
No. For the “Skin” goal we show cards with vitamin C, beta-carotene and plenty of water. We leave collagen supplements out: the best review of 23 trials finds no effect in the well-run studies that were not paid for by manufacturers. We say so in the app, too.
Because it is the most common reason people quit nutrition apps. And because the big databases with user entries can be off by several hundred calories a day. TeddyBite needs neither: it suggests, you cook — or not.
At launch German and English, then Simplified Chinese and English for Nigeria. Cuisines: USA, China, Europe, Nigeria. You choose language and cuisine separately — a German in Lagos gets German text and Nigerian cards.
The app is planned for iPhone and Android.
We will name a date once it is certain. The waitlist is the honest route: one email when the time comes, nothing else.
Sign up if you want to try the app. We send a confirmation email straight away — only your click in it makes the sign-up valid. That way nobody can sign up someone else’s address.
