About us

A tracker that finally
respects your time.

We built YourFitnessPal because every tracker we tried treated logging like punishment. Ours treats it like a check-in β€” fast, calm, and on your side.

Our mission

Make the right choice the easy one.

Healthy habits don't fail because people lack willpower. They fail because logging takes too long, plans don't fit real life, and apps overwhelm before they reward.

We've spent thousands of hours shaving seconds off every interaction. Snap a meal in three seconds. Start a fast in two taps. See your progress without scrolling. The whole product is built so the right action takes less effort than skipping it.

Principles

What we won't compromise.

🀐

Privacy first

Your logs are yours. We never sell food, fasting, or weight data. Export or delete it anytime.

⚑

Speed matters

Every screen is benchmarked. If a flow gets slower, we don't ship until it's fast again.

πŸŒ‘

Calm by default

No fake urgency, no dark patterns, no notification spam. You set the pace.

πŸ“

Science, not vibes

Calorie math uses Mifflin-St Jeor. Macro recs follow ISSN guidance. We cite our work.

🌍

Every body

Multiple goal paths (lose, maintain, gain, gain muscle). No moralizing about food. No before/after shaming.

πŸ› οΈ

Built to last

Native apps. Offline-first. Sync that survives bad airplane Wi-Fi and a dead phone.

Our story

From one frustrated user to millions.

2024

The idea

After abandoning a fourth tracker mid-cut, our founder sketched a single dashboard on a napkin: ring, macros, fasting, water β€” done. No newsfeed, no nag bar.

2025

The first version

We shipped to TestFlight with 200 people. The streak feature stuck immediately β€” retention at 30 days hit numbers we'd never seen in the category.

2026 Β· Q1

MealScan launch

Vision models matured. We shipped photo-based food logging that recognizes a plate of food and drops it straight into your diary.

2026 Β· Q2

AI weekly review

An LLM-generated weekly summary that tells you what changed and one thing to try next. Quietly, the most-loved feature we've ever shipped.

Today

3.5M members and counting

Across iOS and Android, 43 locales, and one stubborn goal: be the tracker people actually finish a year with.

Team

A small team, on purpose.

Engineers, designers, and a registered dietitian. We don't have a growth team β€” the product is the growth.

Armughan Ali

Founder & CTO. Spent ten years building cloud infra; now optimizes for streaks.

Head of Design. Believes a good app should never need a "help" button.

DM

Dr. Diego MarΓ­n, RDN

Nutrition lead. Owns the goal math and reviews every habit-related copy line.

PE

Priya Elango

Mobile lead. Refuses to ship a screen with a frame drop.
