Food OS
A food tracker that asks nothing of you but to write down what you ate.
Overview
Write down whatever you ate in one Apple Note. A Shortcut ships it to a Google Sheet, where AI cleans it up and matches it to a personal food database.

The challenge
Calorie trackers make you learn a new app and hunt through a database missing half your food. I wanted zero decision fatigue.
The approach
Apple Notes for input, Apps Script and an AI model for cleanup, a spreadsheet as the database — no app to build or maintain.
The outcome
Cooked and in daily use — this is genuinely how I track food now.
