What BareVue is

BareVue is a nutrition app for iOS and Android, currently in development. It brings different areas of nutrition together into one app that's as deep as it is broad, with the research to back it up. It was designed around three principles: transparency, rigor, and simplicity. You can use it for simple weight management, or dive into features and detail that deepen the further you explore.

The depth nutrition deserves

BareVue's primary food data comes from official government composition databases, and its nutrient targets and limits are transcribed from the published guidance of national health authorities around the world, the same authoritative sources dietitians and researchers rely on. BareVue is designed to bring rigor and evidence across the different areas of nutrition into one app for you and those you care about.

If the science doesn't support something, BareVue leaves it out, no matter how common it is elsewhere. Everything it uses is substantiated by sources you can click to see directly in the app.

Built independently

BareVue is built by one person, and my name is Matthew Craig. With no investors or advertisers to answer to, I'm free to build this app in the way I believe gives you the most value. As BareVue grows, my commitment is to always put you first.

You can tell that's something I'm serious about, because now you know what I look like.

Why BareVue exists

For years I dealt with chronic pain, brain fog, and low energy. As I dug into the research and changed how I ate, problems I had assumed were just part of my life started to ease. Two lessons stuck with me. One was how good I could feel once my body was getting all the nutrients it needs to function. The other came from cutting out certain foods I ate every day: only in their absence could I see what they had been doing to me all along. People don't notice a weight they've never put down, and I wanted to build something that helps people connect what they eat with how they feel.

I created BareVue to bring together the parts of nutrition that helped me, and a good deal more than I needed myself, so I could share it with you. I hope it provides you with true value for whatever goals you have.

Where to reach me

BareVue's community will live on Reddit atr/BareVue. As I write this, it has exactly zero members, so joining now makes you a founding member. I'll be there either way, answering questions, taking feedback, and sharing what I'm working on. For everything else, email support@barevue.app. It isn't a ticket system staffed by a department. It's me.
