Mealocado

A little less effort. A better relationship with food.

Mealocado is an independent nutrition application and product brand developed by KARTUM. We’re building a calmer way to explore everyday food choices, with native experiences for iOS and Android. The foundations are here; the connected product is still being developed.

Mealocado / An Original Product by KARTUM

Friendly on the surface.
Considered underneath.

A nutrition companion with a warm identity and a native foundation. Mello is the planned assistant—not a working AI service today.

01 / Engineering today

Native by design.

iOS
SwiftUI foundation and Swift core tests
Android
Kotlin + Jetpack Compose foundation
Shared backend
Node.js foundation, versioned API contracts, cross-platform conformance checks

Foundation builds and core tests have executed. Native UI journeys, accessibility, performance, and real-device release verification remain incomplete. Evidence reviewed October 26, 2026.

02 / Product direction

More helpful, not more demanding.

Planned AI nutrition guidance, food-provider search, and connected planning will build on the local demo experience. Production AI, authentication, food-provider integrations, subscriptions, and health integrations are not yet connected.

No launch date or production availability is promised. Fictional demo nutrition values are not food guidance.

03 / Beyond the first release

One product. Room to grow.

Behind the project / 01

An original product, from the inside out.

Mealocado brings product thinking, a friendly independent identity, and native engineering together. The goal is an everyday food companion—not pressure, punishment, or a claim of medical guidance.

Behind the project / 02

Two native experiences. One shared language.

SwiftUI powers the iOS foundation. Kotlin and Jetpack Compose power Android. A shared Node.js backend foundation and versioned API contracts keep the platforms aligned without forcing them into the same interface.

Identity / In context

A companion with its own character.

The accepted avocado mark and expressive Mello mascot give Mealocado its own identity. Forest, cream, and avocado tones come from the product’s design tokens. Native system typography keeps each platform familiar; the older abstract Seed studies are not used.

Design details / A clear journey

Built foundations. Honest boundaries.

Local demo journeys cover preferences, a diary, planning, and insights using fictional sample data. Production AI, authentication, food providers, subscriptions, and health integrations are not connected. The app is not released.
