I use Cronometer (https://cronometer.com/ ). It's simple and excellent.

Thanks! I'm the founder, & long time HN lurker. We've bootstrapped over 11 years and still fully founder owned.

I love your app's fidelity. My main issue with healthcare/nutrition software is always ads, trackers and selling of healthcare data. I'd seen the multi-seat Pro version before that makes promises, but stupidly hadn't noticed Cronometer Gold (ad-free). Taking another look now.

The fact that you lurk HN is also awesome. Cheers

Thanks! While we do have ads in the free version, there's no sharing of any user account data with third parties. We strictly do not share/sell any user data, and treat all user data with the same care as the user data that would fall under HIPAA standards.

That's very cool - and it's especially cool to find out Cronometer is a bootstrapped software product!

Another vote for cronometer, it's a lot snappier and less bloated than MFP, which I feel is crippled with ads etc.

I considered paying for the gold for cronometer, but 9.50 a month was a little expensive for me, in the same ballpark as something like Spotify or Netflix.

I've just signed up and it looks like gold is $50 a year. Maybe they've changed it since you last looked?
