The loop

Tracking is only useful when it tells you something

Most trackers stop at the number. Loopa is built around what happens after it.

Track more. Guess less.

That is the whole idea, and it is where the name comes from.

Loopa started as a tracking spreadsheet that founder Patrick Bass built because no app addressed his needs, and shared with a few friends. How Loopa started

  1. Track

    Log what actually happened. Food, water, weight, activity, vitals and the rest of it, in whichever way is fastest at the time.

  2. Connect

    Loopa puts the pieces beside each other. A calorie number on its own is a number; next to your weight trend, your activity and the week behind it, it is information.

  3. Adjust

    See the direction, understand what changed, and decide what to do differently tomorrow. Then round it goes again.

Loopa: track more, guess less. The app beside a day of food, water, activity and weight.

Loopa Basic

Free should mean you can actually use it

Loopa Basic is not a seven-day trial and it is not an app that stops being useful until you subscribe. It is a real health and fitness tracker that costs nothing.

What Loopa Basic actually costs

$0forever, with no card to enter and nothing to cancel
0ads, on either plan
∞meals a day, because there is no logging cap
30days of history, and nothing is ever deleted
  • Food and macros

    Log as many meals a day as you eat. Calories, protein, carbohydrates and fat against targets worked out for you.

    Food logging

  • Barcode scanning

    Scan the packet and its own nutrition panel lands in your log. Unlimited, and it keeps working on a day you have used the AI allowance up.

    The scanner

  • Describe it in plain words

    “Chicken wrap and an iced latte.” Loopa works out the likely foods and portions and shows you the list before it saves. 10 a day.

  • Speak into the search box

    Say the food instead of typing it. The recognizer runs on your device and the audio never leaves your phone.

  • Weight and the trend line

    Every weigh-in, and a trend through them that smooths the day-to-day water and glycogen noise. Free accounts chart the last 30 days.

    Progress tracking

  • Progress photos

    Front, side and back, matched to the same pose, private to you and encrypted. Free on every tier.

  • Water and fluids

    Hydration, and every other liquid you drink if you want them counted.

  • Activity

    Walks, sessions, steps and active minutes, with each day’s estimated burn shown. Your calorie target stays the same.

    Activity tracking

  • Vitals

    Blood pressure, blood glucose, INR, blood oxygen, temperature, resting and average heart rate, sleep, energy and mood.

    Vitals tracking

  • 15 micronutrients

    Sodium, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc and phosphorus, plus the vitamins, against their daily targets. Derived from the food you already logged.

    Micronutrients

  • The community

    Forums, friends, the feed, groups and challenges, without buying anything.

    The community

  • Easy to recommend

    A friend can install Loopa, log every meal and scan every barcode without paying, seeing an ad or entering a card. Basic is free forever, so the recommendation still holds next year.

    Refer a friend

Two things on the free tier use AI and both are bounded: 5 fresh nutrient estimates and 10 plain-words entries a day. Searching, scanning, typing and logging a saved meal are never rationed. Free versus Premium, feature by feature

“The biggest thing Loopa helps me with is figuring out what I can eat next. The Low FODMAP tools give me direction, and the family plan means I do not have to plan my meals in isolation.”

Getting food in

Log food the way that is fastest right now

5 ways into the same diary. A saved meal makes it one tap after that. You should not have to spend more time logging lunch than eating it.

  • Search it

    Free

    Branded products, supermarket own-labels, restaurant items and everyday foods, with the panel that came off the packet. Free members get the whole database.

  • Scan it

    Free

    Point the camera at the barcode. The most accurate way to log anything that came in a wrapper, because it reads a label instead of estimating.

  • Type it

    Free · 10/day

    Describe the meal the way you would to a person. Loopa works out the foods and the portions, and shows you the list to check before anything is saved.

  • Say it

    Free

    Tap the mic in the search box and say the food. Recognition runs on your device, so what you said never leaves your phone.

  • Snap it

    Premium

    Photograph the plate and get a list back: the chicken, the rice, the broccoli, each on its own line with its own portion, all editable.

All five, in detail

Loopa Premium

When you want Loopa to do more than record

Free records the day. Premium helps you plan the next one.

Meal planning

A plan built around your kitchen, not somebody else’s perfect week

Tell Loopa how many days to plan. Your calorie and macro targets, the way you eat, the foods you have excluded and the things already in your pantry all go in, and what comes out is a week you would actually cook.

The shopping list is assembled afterwards and the totals are added up in code, not by a model. Then what your pantry already holds is subtracted from it, so the list is what you are missing.

Premium
  • Your targets and your macro split
  • Your preferences, dislikes and never-eat list, enforced rather than suggested
  • Your pantry, which is yours alone and free to keep
  • One combined list, grouped by aisle

See meal planning Eating Out

The trend line

Your weight is noisy. Your trend does not have to be.

Every weigh-in is plotted, and a trend line runs through them that smooths the day-to-day water and glycogen swings. It tells you what the readings are doing, which is a different question from what today weighed.

Premium adds the projection, built from your own rate of change and shown as a range with a band around it, never a single date. Four weeks of scale readings cannot support a single date, so Loopa does not print one.

  • Individual weigh-ins and the trend through them, free, over the last 30 days
  • Progress photos on the same timeline, free on every tier
  • The projection, the full history behind it and the rest of the Trends screen are Premium
  • A projection assumes the current rate continues, which no scale reading can guarantee, and the screen says so

Depth

Because health is more than calories

Most food trackers know what you ate and what you weigh. Loopa keeps the rest of it in the same place, so a week is one picture instead of five apps. Eighteen things it tracks besides your food:

  • Weight and the trend line
  • Body measurements
  • Progress photos
  • Water and every other fluid
  • Activity, steps and active minutes
  • Workouts, sets and personal records
  • Blood pressure
  • Blood glucose
  • INR
  • Blood oxygen
  • Resting and average heart rate
  • Body temperature
  • Sleep
  • Energy and mood
  • Supplements
  • Medications
  • Cycle tracking
  • Fasting windows

Your health does not live in one category, and your tracker should not either. Loopa records and organizes what you log; it does not diagnose from it. What Loopa tracks

Devices

Stop typing what your devices already know

Bring what your phone and your scales already measured into the same place as the things you log by hand.

Device sync is part of Premium; seeing a connection and disconnecting it are free. Connecting a device is done in the phone apps.

Family

One Premium plan. Up to six people.

Loopa Premium Family covers you and five other people, across iPhone and Android, on one subscription.

Everybody keeps their own account and their own private health information. The subscription is shared; the diary is not. No endpoint in the family feature can reach another member’s health data, and a test reads the source and fails the build if one ever could. The shared household pantry is off until somebody turns it on.

Privacy

Your health data is not the product

The business model is simple: Premium subscriptions pay for Loopa. Your attention is not for sale and neither is anything you log.

No ads, on either tier

No advertising SDK, no advertising identifier and no tracking pixel in either app, and never your health data in analytics.

Encrypted with your own key

Every health entry is encrypted with a key belonging to your account alone. Delete your account and that key is destroyed, which makes everything you logged permanently unreadable.

Nobody browses your log

Other members cannot see what you track. Progress photos are yours, and nothing publishes one anywhere.

Never used to train an AI model

Your health data is not training data, and it is never disclosed for advertising or marketing.

Take it with you

A full copy of your account, free on any tier, as often as once a week.

Or delete it

Close the account and the erasure walks your whole record in one transaction, files and all.

Read privacy, plainly

Your doctor

Bring the record to the appointment

Your doctor does not need another stream of notifications from your health app. When you want to share something, Loopa turns the history you chose into one clinician share report.

Premium

Your data stays yours until you choose to share it, and what you share is a snapshot of the window you picked rather than a live feed into your account.

Clinician Share

  • You decide what is in it

    Thirty, ninety or a hundred and eighty days, and, when you create it in a browser, which parts of your record go in.

  • It expires

    Seven days by default, ninety at the outside. In a browser you set it when you create the link.

  • You can revoke it

    It is stored encrypted under your own key for the duration of the share, and revoking deletes the file, not just the link.

  • They need no account

    A link opens the clinician share report. There is nothing for your clinic to install, join or pay for.

Health is personal. It does not have to be solitary.

Forums, friends, a feed, groups and challenges, free on every tier and entirely separate from what you track.

  • Forums and friends

    Ask a question, answer one, follow the people whose posts are worth reading.

  • Groups and challenges

    Join a gym, a club or a workplace group and compete on a leaderboard that counts one number.

  • Feature requests

    A forum where what gets built next is argued out in public.

  • Your diary stays yours

    Joining a group tells it nothing about your health. No role can read a member’s health data, not the owner, not an admin and not a Loopa staff account, and there is no permission to grant that would let one.

Dedicated tracking for GLP-1, testosterone therapy, hormone therapy and menopause, peptides, bariatric and weight management, Low FODMAP, next to your food, activity and progress rather than in a notebook. All six are included in one Premium subscription.

Loopa tracks the protocol. It does not prescribe it. Every screen carries the same line: talk to your prescriber.

Switching

Coming from another tracker?

Changing health apps should not mean starting your history at zero, and you should know what is different before you move.

Bring your history with you

Easy Switch brings your record across from MyFitnessPal, Lose It!, Cronometer, Apple Health, Health Connect or a spreadsheet: food, weight, measurements, activity, your own custom foods and recipes, and your goals.

It comes with Premium, alongside the full history that makes it worth bringing across. Everything you import is kept, the whole timeline opens with it, and taking an import back out is free on every plan.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The ones people actually ask before they install anything.

Is Loopa really free?

Yes. Loopa Basic costs nothing, forever. Unlimited food logging, barcode scanning, weight and the trend line, progress photos, water, activity, all thirteen vitals, 15 micronutrients, the community and a full copy of your account, with no trial and no clock on any of it.

Are there ads?

None, on either plan. The apps carry no advertising SDK, read no advertising identifier and have no tracking pixel. Usage analytics never includes your health data, and you can switch it off in settings. Premium subscriptions are what pay for Loopa.

Do I need a credit card?

Not for Loopa Basic. There is nothing to enter and nothing to cancel. Premium is bought through the App Store or Google Play when and if you want it.

How many meals can I log?

As many as you eat. There is no daily cap on searching, scanning, typing or logging a saved meal. Two shortcuts use AI and are bounded on the free tier: 5 fresh nutrient estimates and 10 plain-words entries a day.

What does Premium add?

Planning and depth. Meal planning with a shopping list, photo food logging, Eating Out, workouts and programs with 453 exercises, the AI Coach, habits, fasting, device sync, trends, reports and export, and all six guided tracks including bariatric support. Your full history, rather than a rolling window, comes with it.

What does Premium cost?

$12.99 a month or $69.99 a year for one person. Loopa Premium Family is $19.99 a month or $119.99 a year and covers up to 6 people. There is no free trial and no introductory offer.

Is there a family plan?

Yes. Loopa Premium Family covers you and five other people, 6 in all, across iPhone and Android on one subscription. Everybody keeps their own account and their own private health information; the subscription is shared and the diary is not. Joining a group is free.

Does Loopa work on iPhone and Android?

Both. Loopa is on the App Store and on Google Play, and a family group can have members on either. There is an Apple Watch app for logging water and how you are feeling, and home-screen widgets on both platforms.

Can I move my history from another tracker?

Yes. Easy Switch comes with Premium and imports from MyFitnessPal, Lose It!, Cronometer, Apple Health, Health Connect or a plain spreadsheet: food, weight, measurements, activity, custom foods, recipes and goals. Note that the file export itself belongs to MyFitnessPal Premium on their side.

Where does Loopa’s food data come from?

From USDA FoodData Central, an open database of packaged products, a licensed catalogue of branded and restaurant items, and Loopa’s own records. An AI estimate is used only when none of them knows a food, and it is labelled as one. About two in three foods in the shared catalogue come from USDA FoodData Central, and search lists USDA’s plain-food analyses ahead of contributor-entered barcode data. Anyone can report a wrong entry for free, and an accepted correction reaches everybody. How accurate the food data is

Can Loopa connect to my devices?

Apple Health and Health Connect sync both ways, and Withings, Oura and iHealth send their readings in. Device sync is part of Premium, and it is set up in the phone apps.

Can I use Loopa if I am on GLP-1, testosterone therapy or hormone therapy?

Yes. Those are three of the six guided tracks, along with peptides, bariatric support and Low FODMAP, and one Premium subscription covers all six. Loopa records the protocol you are following alongside your food, training and progress.

Does Loopa give medical advice?

No. Loopa tracks what you log and provides general reference information with its sources named. It does not diagnose, treat or prescribe, and it will not suggest a dose, a timing, a titration or a lab window for you, and the build enforces that rather than a policy. Where it shows a product label’s or a published guideline’s own wording on those, it is only as a labeled reference (“Reference guideline. Confirm with your prescriber.”), and your prescriber’s plan takes its place. Medical decisions stay with you and your care team.

Can I share information with my doctor?

Yes, when you decide to. Choose the window, and Loopa builds a clinician share report behind a link that expires, that you can revoke, and that deletes the file when you do. Your clinician needs no account and pays nothing.

Can other Loopa members see my health information?

No. What you track is private to your account. Joining a group, a gym or a club changes nothing about that. No role in an organization can read a member’s health data, and there is no permission that would let one.

Can I get my data out, or delete it?

Yes to both. A full copy of your account, including your health record, is free on any tier and you can ask for one as often as once a week; it arrives as a download link. Exporting your raw data as CSV or a spreadsheet is a Premium feature, and so are the personal report and the clinician share report. Closing the account erases your record in one pass, files included, and destroys the key your health entries were encrypted with.

Start with today. The trend comes next.
