Apps for Picky Eaters: Choosing Food When Few Things Appeal

Updated October 25, 2026 · app details from each App Store listing

The short answer

There are two kinds of picky-eater apps. Pitaya and similar apps help you track foods you have tried and set goals for new ones, which suits ARFID and parents of picky children. FeedMii is for adults deciding what to eat right now: you swipe away dishes you don't want, filter by diet, and it shows nearby places serving what is left. If you have an eating disorder, talk to a clinician; these apps are not treatment.
