Find out how food really makes you feel.
Soulplates is a smart nutrition app. Snap your meals, check in with how you feel and connect your watch or ring. It shows you how your mood, energy and sleep respond to what you eat, and suggests recipes that help.
- Works with Apple Health
- Grounded in research
- Private by design
- Optional calorie tracking
Sound familiar?
You know food affects how you feel. You just can’t see how.
Calorie counters track what you eat. Mood diaries track how you feel. Your watch tracks your heart rate and how you slept. None of them talk to each other, so the 3pm slump, the restless night and the flat Monday never get traced back to what was on your plate.
- “Why do I crash every afternoon?”
- “Why do I sleep worse after some dinners?”
- “Does what I eat affect how anxious I feel?”
- “My watch collects all this data. What’s it actually telling me?”
Soulplates is built to answer questions like these about you, not the average person.
How it works
Log your food. We’ll join the dots.
-
Step 1: Snap your meal
Take a photo and Soulplates uses AI to recognise what’s on your plate. It gives the meal a Food score out of 100 that shows how nourishing it is, and why. Don’t fancy a photo? Search the food database or pick from your saved foods.
-
Step 2: Check in with how you feel
Two quick taps: your mood and your energy. You can also add how anxious, focused or hungry you feel. Your check-ins can save to Apple Health too.
-
Step 3: Let your watch do the rest
Connect Apple Health, and things like your sleep, heart rate variability (HRV) and Daily Mood come in on their own. There’s nothing extra to do.
-
Step 4: See what moves you
As the days add up, Soulplates spots your patterns, like higher-fibre lunches lining up with steadier afternoons. It also tells you how sure it is.
-
Step 5: Eat for how you want to feel
Get recipes and small changes to try, picked for what you want to improve. Each one comes with a plain note on why it’s being suggested. You can also test a change for a week to see if it helps you.
What you’ll see
Does your food move your mood? Your recovery? Your sleep?
Soulplates scores what you eat, then lines your days up against your mind, your body and your sleep. Switch between them to see which one your food is really moving.
Food×Mind
Last 30 days · example data
What you tell us. Your mood and energy from quick check-ins, plus Daily Mood from Apple Health.
26 of 30 days with a check-in
-
Measured against your normal.
Your Mind, Body and Sleep scores compare you with your own last four weeks. Your usual sits around 70, so an ordinary day never looks like a bad one.
-
Food is scored on what’s in it.
Things like protein, fibre, omega-3s and fermented foods lift the Food score, while added sugar and alcohol bring it down. It describes the plate, never you.
-
Knows some effects take time.
A higher-fibre day can show up in that night’s sleep, and a sugary one in the next morning’s mood. Soulplates looks for each effect when it tends to happen, even if that’s the next day.

Features
What a meal and a check-in a day can tell you.
Patterns you can trust
Every pattern says how confident it is (Emerging, Likely or Established) and how many of your days it’s based on. If one stops holding, it’s marked Faded and stays in your history. Tap “What we’re basing this on” to see the comparison for yourself.
Calories and macros, if you want them
Switch it on and Soulplates suggests daily targets for calories, protein, carbs and fat. If tracking calories has been hard for you, leave it off.
One-week experiments
Try one change, like no caffeine after 2pm, and get a straight answer at the end of the week. The answer is judged on the one thing you chose before you started.
Plan your day
See what’s up next, plan dinner and build a grocery list, with timing tips like “eating by 7 gives sleep the best shot”.
Your cycle, in context
Track your cycle in Apple Health and Soulplates will take that into account, so a dip that’s down to your cycle isn’t blamed on your food.
A journal of your days
Meals, check-ins, workouts and sleep on one timeline, with each meal coloured by how nourishing it was.
What to expect
Starts with the science. Becomes about you.
Day one
Recipe ideas and tips from published research, matched to what you want to improve.
First week
Your chart comes to life as days with both a meal and a check-in add up.
First few weeks
Your first patterns appear. They’re marked Emerging at first, then Likely as more days back them up.
From then on
Suggestions lean more on your own days than on general research, and you can always see how far along that is.

Our approach
Honest by design.
Food and mood advice is everywhere, and a lot of it is more confident than the evidence. Soulplates is built to be the careful voice: specific about what it knows, and upfront about what it doesn’t.
Research, ranked by strength
Suggestions are grounded in published studies, books and expert sources. Each one tells you how strong the evidence is, whether that’s many studies pooled together or only a little research so far.
Every score shows its working
Each meal gets a Food score out of 100 for how nourishing it is, with a plain reason behind it. When your own days show something more useful, like a late coffee costing you sleep, it tells you that too.
Upfront about the gaps
When there’s nothing there, we say so. When something else could explain a pattern, like those higher-fibre lunches falling on the days you also walked, we tell you that too.
Private by design
Your patterns are worked out on your iPhone, and your Apple Health data stays on it. Meal photos are sent securely so we can recognise what’s on your plate, and they’re never used to train AI. You can delete your data whenever you like, and we never sell your data.

FAQ
Questions, answered.

A smart nutrition app for iPhone. You log your meals, usually with a quick photo, and check in with how you feel. Soulplates connects that with data from your wearables, like your sleep and heart rate variability. It shows you how your mind, body and sleep respond to what you eat, and suggests recipes that help. You can track calories too, if you want to.
Soon. We’re selecting a small group of early users to test Soulplates before launch. Join the list for a chance to get early access.
Soulplates is coming to iPhone first, because it’s built around Apple Health. If you’re on Android, sign up for early access anyway and tell us. It helps us decide what comes next.
No. Your Mind score works from your check-ins alone, so you can start with just your phone. For Body and Sleep, you’ll need a watch or ring that you wear to bed, like an Apple Watch.
If your wearable saves your sleep and heart data to Apple Health, Soulplates can use it. We’ll also be adding direct connections to other wearables.
You’ll get suggestions based on published research from day one. Your own patterns need a little history, so they start to appear in your first few weeks, as days with both a meal and a check-in add up. They’re marked Emerging at first and firm up as more days back them up.
Only if you want it to be. Unlike traditional calorie counters, Soulplates focuses on what’s in your food, not how much you eat. You can turn calorie tracking on or off in Settings. When it’s on, Soulplates uses your Apple Health data to suggest personalised daily targets, which you can adjust whenever you like.
From a library of research on food, mood, sleep and recovery, with every finding ranked by how strong the evidence is. They also draw on the professional experience of our co-founder and certified nutritionist, Katerina Kuchinsky. As your own data builds up, suggestions shift towards what actually works for you, and each one tells you which it’s based on.
Yes. You can set your diet to vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, halal or kosher, and tick any intolerances, such as lactose, gluten or nuts. Suggestions then leave out anything that doesn’t fit. If you have a food allergy, please still check ingredients yourself.
Yes. Your patterns are worked out on your iPhone, and your Apple Health data, including any cycle tracking, stays on it. Meal photos are sent securely so we can recognise what’s on your plate, and they’re never used to train AI. You can delete your data at any time, and we never sell your data.
No. Soulplates is a nutrition app that helps you understand your own patterns. It isn’t a medical device and doesn’t diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition. Talk to a doctor or another healthcare professional about your health, and before making big changes to what you eat.
Soulplates can help you notice whether what you eat lines up with how you feel from day to day, including anxiety and low mood. It isn’t a treatment for anxiety, depression or any other condition. If you’re struggling, please talk to your doctor or a mental health professional.
You never have to track calories. It’s there if you want it, and you can leave it off for good. If you do use it, targets never go below 1,200 kcal, and going over is never shown in red. If tracking food has been hard for you before, please check with your doctor or care team before you start.
From the founders
Why we’re building Soulplates.
Most of us have noticed that food changes how we feel, and most of us have no way to see how. Soulplates is our attempt to change that: a smart nutrition app that shows you your own patterns.
Step counters made movement something you could see at a glance. We want to do the same for food: to make the link between what’s on your plate and your mood, energy and sleep as easy to check as your steps.
It isn’t ready yet, and signing up for early access is the best way to help. If there’s something you’d want it to do, write to us at hello@soulplates.app.
