About SugarBuddy
Sugar Buddy is an iOS and Android app for people who want to eat less sugar. The panic button gives instant access to breathing exercises and support when a craving hits, and AI coaching offers personalized guidance to understand triggers and stay motivated. Guided breathing sessions last a few minutes and are meant to calm the nervous system.
For tracking, users log daily sugar intake with a barcode scanner, the camera or manual entry, and can monitor calories, sugar-free streaks and progress over time. Daily pledges prompt users to commit each morning and check in to stay accountable. The homepage describes a three-step routine of tracking intake, using the panic button during cravings and building a streak. It links to the App Store and Google Play.
