Is Fimbl free?
Yes. Fimbl is free to download, and the heart of the app is free: your food diary, search and barcode scanning, saved meals, weight, mood and meal check-ins, Apple Health activity, goals and streaks, and the First Week journey. Fimbl Premium adds macro tracking and goals, the AI features (photo calorie scan, describing meals by text or voice, recipes from videos and links, weekly reflections and the coach, Calm mode and healthier swaps), widgets, extra meal slots and streak restore. New subscribers may be offered a free trial, and prices and trial terms are always shown before you subscribe.
Is Fimbl a diet app?
Not in the usual sense. You can set a calorie goal if it helps you, or switch to Calm mode and see grades instead of numbers. Fimbl is about balance, awareness and habits, and it's built to support a healthier relationship with food, never to make you feel bad about it. It isn't a medical tool or a treatment for eating disorders, and if food ever feels overwhelming, a healthcare professional can help.
How do I save a recipe from Instagram or TikTok?
Open the video, tap Share and choose Fimbl. If you don't see it, tap More and add it. Fimbl reads the link, watches the video and builds the recipe with ingredients, steps and nutrition per portion, which you can edit before saving. Recipe import is a Premium feature.
How does the AI work, and what does it see?
AI features are part of Premium and entirely optional. When you use one, Fimbl sends only what that feature needs to our servers, which call Google's Gemini API: a photo for a scan, text for a described meal, or recent diary, check-in and weigh-in context for reflections and the coach. Your name and email are never included. AI estimates can be a little off, so you can always adjust them. If you delete your account, AI data we keep is anonymised so it is no longer linked to you. The privacy policy explains each feature in detail.
Which devices does Fimbl work on?
Fimbl is designed natively for iPhone and iPad running iOS or iPadOS 26 or later, in light and dark mode, with Home and Lock Screen widgets. It speaks English, German and Finnish.
Does Fimbl work with Apple Health?
Yes. With your permission, Fimbl reads your steps, walking and running distance, active and resting energy, and workouts. If you turn on Health sync, it also saves the weight you log to Apple Health. Fimbl doesn't write your food to Health.
What happens to my data?
Your data is encrypted in transit and stored on Fimbl's servers, so it's there when you change phones. We don't sell it, and there are no ads or ad trackers. You can delete your account any time from Settings: your personal data is deleted, and any AI data we keep is anonymised. Read the full privacy policy.
