Tracking nutrition should feel like a game, not a chore
Bamboo is an iOS app that makes food tracking fast, fun, and actually rewarding. Snap a photo. Earn XP. Watch your gut health improve.
Most calorie counters make you feel guilty for eating a cookie. Bamboo does the opposite.
Early signups get free access to every feature on day one.
Three things your current app can't do
Bamboo is built different. Here is what makes it worth switching.
Log meals in 10 seconds
Point your camera at any plate. Bamboo identifies every item, estimates portions, and logs the macros. Works with barcodes and manual search too.
A gut health score no other app gives you
Bamboo tracks your daily fiber, fermented food intake, and plant diversity to generate a real gut health forecast. An actionable score you can improve today.
The reason you will open this app tomorrow
Every meal logged earns XP. Hit your protein goal and complete a daily quest. Keep your streak alive and unlock badges. It sounds silly until you are at level 12.

Questions, answered
Everything people ask before joining the waitlist.
When does Bamboo launch?
Summer 2026 on iOS. Waitlist members get access first.
Is Bamboo free?
Early signups get free access to every feature on day one. That is our thank-you for joining before launch.
Is it iPhone only?
Bamboo launches on iOS first. Android is on the roadmap but has no date yet.
How does photo logging work?
With your consent, Bamboo sends a compressed meal photo to DeepInfra, with Anthropic Claude configured as backup, to estimate foods and macros. Review the results before saving. Bamboo does not intentionally persist the submitted image in its analysis endpoint; provider retention is explained in our Privacy Policy. You can revoke consent in Settings.
Is my data private?
Bamboo stores your logs on your phone. Optional cloud backup saves an account-linked copy, including health and cycle entries. Consented AI features separately send submitted content or an explained summary to our providers. We do not sell your data or use it for advertising or Bamboo model training. See our Privacy Policy for provider processing and your choices.
What is the gut health score?
A daily estimate built from your fiber intake, fermented foods, and plant diversity. It is a wellness guide, not a medical test or diagnosis.
Do I need an account?
No email or password needed. You get an anonymous account automatically, and you can add sign-in later if you want.
