Hey all, sharing what I've been working on. NutriTrace is a self-hosted nutrition and wellness tracker that runs entirely on your own server in a single Docker container.
I built it because every commercial nutrition app has the same shape. You hand them years of food data, body measurements, and biometrics, and your data is held hostage when they pivot or paywall. I wanted to track macros and pull in my Fitbit data without participating in that.
Daily food diary with multi-ingredient meals, recipes, body stats, water tracking, day-level notes. Personal food database, barcode scanner, imports from Open Food Facts and USDA, plus optional Mealie integration. Statistics with trend charts, full backup, exports as CSV / JSON / full ZIP.
Optional wellness device sync from Fitbit, Withings, Garmin, and Android Health Connect. Sleep / readiness / stress scores computed from your data.
Optional AI assistant where you bring your own Claude / OpenAI / Gemini key. It queries your real data via tool use so it can answer things like "what was my average protein this month" without making numbers up. There's a voice food logger too. Both fully optional, off by default.
Tech: Svelte 4 + Express + better-sqlite3, multi-stage Dockerfile, AGPL-3.0. Native Android app is in active development; PWA installs to home screen on any modern browser today.

Happy to answer questions.
Hey, can you make a much simpler version of this? Just a static site of the USDA data?
The USDA nutrition site went down at some point during Trump's term. and I was afraid that information was lost forever.
I wish we just had a simple way for folks to clone this website. Literally just that. It would be much simpler than what you've already done, and extremely useful.
