List data as displayed on AlternativeTo, fetched October 12, 2026. Likes, platforms, price, and license labels are as listed there. Subscription status and all feature columns were verified against the vendors' own store listings, help pages, and documentation in October 2026. Data collection cells quote Google Play data-safety or App Store privacy declarations. Green shading marks each column's best value (stronger) and the middle of the road (lighter). Adjacent best cells are joined by a single border.
Notes on individual cells. MyFitnessPal meal scan is Premium-only, YAZIO photo AI is Pro-only, Cronometer AI Photo-Logging is Gold-only, and Alma is paid-only with no free tier. None of the other apps documents on-device photo processing. OpenNutriTracker photo AI runs off by default on a service you supply. YAZIO works without an account, while its help pages say mobile data is required on the go. Waistline and FoodYou run no network services of their own.
What the stores say
Google Play asks every developer to declare what an app collects and shares. The declarations for the three best-known names here look like this.
| App | Data shared with third parties | Data collected |
|---|---|---|
| Adra | Nothing | Nothing |
| MyFitnessPal | Location, Personal info, and Device or other IDs | Location, Personal info, and six other categories |
| YAZIO | Location, Personal info, and Device or other IDs | Personal info, Health and fitness, and four other categories |
Why Adra
No single row in that table looks like Adra. That is the point.
-
On-device photo recognition.
It reads your meal from a photo, on the phone. Nothing is uploaded, so nothing can be profiled.
-
No account.
No login screen, no email, no cloud diary. Your food data lives on your phone and nowhere else.
-
No subscription.
Free to use, or €34.99 once. Nothing renews, nothing counts down.
-
Works offline.
The AI and the food catalog travel with you. Airplane mode changes nothing.
-
A label that says No data collected.
That is Google's own data safety wording, straight from the Play listing.
-
Built by one person.
No investors and no growth hacks. Just a tracker that respects attention and data.
Every app in the table above is a good choice for someone. Adra is built for people who want to keep their food data to themselves, without renting the app forever. More on the pricing model and the privacy architecture.
FAQ
How were these alternatives chosen?
They are the apps listed on the Adra alternatives page at AlternativeTo. We did not pick favorites. The order follows that page as it stood in October 2026.
Which of these apps are open source?
OpenNutriTracker, FoodYou, and Waistline are listed as open source under the GPL-3.0 license on AlternativeTo. SparkyFitness is free and self-hosted, so you run it on your own server.
What makes Adra different from all of them?
The combination. On-device photo recognition, no account, no subscription, and full offline function on Android. No single row in the table shows that mix.
