Who we are

Course is a personal calorie and nutrition tracker for iPhone, made by Michael Loseth. The public site is courseapp.app. Questions: [email protected].

What the app stores

Meals, recipes, portions, exercise, and the targets you set are saved on your device first. You can use Course without creating an account. If you later sign in, that is optional and skippable.

Food search

When you search, Course queries USDA FoodData Central and Open Food Facts to find foods and nutrition facts. Your query goes to those services. We do not sell search history.

Health

Apple Health (HealthKit) is optional. Course only reads or writes health data if you allow it on first visit to Exercise. You can refuse and still use the rest of the app. Health data is used to show activity next to the day, not for ads.

What we do not do

We do not sell your personal information. We do not run ad networks in the app. We do not need your contacts, photos, or location to log food.

Children

Course is not directed at children under 13. Do not use it if you are under 13.

Contact and changes

Email [email protected]. We will update this page if the product starts storing data in new ways, and the date at the top will change.
