Are you one of those people that has everything organized to a T? Do you live to plan your weekly meals? Is your workflow heavily reliant on color coding?
You are a lucky duck, because Whole30 is going to a breeze for you! For those of us not so naturally streamlined, there are a couple of great apps we can use to help us along.
Whole30 Apps For An Easier Program
1. 30 Whole Days
Accountability tracker, compliance-checker and more!
This app is available both on iTunes and the Google Play store and is specifically designed for helping people through their Whole30 program.
It includes a countdown for your Whole30 to keep you motivated, a huge database of foods to check whether or not they are compliant super easily (you can use the barcode on a package!), and a way to create and modify your own personalized Whole30 grocery list.
There’s also a way to search all sorts of common additives to see whether or not they are compliant. Nifty, right?
2. Nom Nom Paleo
A recipe and meal plan app from the creators of Nom Nom Paleo!
- Apple: Yes
- Android: No
- Price: $5.99
- Rating: 4.8/5 Stars
Shopping guides, recipes, and photos galore…this app is your best friend if you’re looking for foodspiration.
This app has almost 150 recipes–most of which are Whole30 friendly. It includes a 30 day Whole30 sample meal plan and the ability to save and favorite the recipes you want to come back to.
It may be a little pricey for an app, yes, but if you think about it like the interactive cookbook it is, the price can’t be beat!
3. Real Plans
A meal planning app with a focus on special dietary needs. This is an official Whole30 partner, so you know the information is solid.
- Apple: Yes
- Android: Yes

Real Plans isn’t just an Apple or Android app, it’s an entire program in itself!
Melissa Hartwig of Whole30 worked on a specific Whole30 platform within Real Plans so that you can customize your Whole30 to fit your exact needs. There’s even a place for the reintroduction phase at the end!
This is an awesome resource for people with less time and energy for constantly coming up with new recipes–it provides a bunch of options for you, stress-free.
It is a bit more costly than others (subscriptions start at $30/month), but if you need a straightforward, custom-to-you option at your fingertips, Real Plans is it.
4. YouFood
A food photo journal that offers accountability and a way to document your amazing recipes!
- Apple: Yes
- Android: Yes
- Price: Free for the first 7 days, $2.99/month subscription afterwards.
- Rating: 3/5 Stars
This app started off as a calorie-counting-free 7-day food journaling challenge, but many Whole30-ers have found it to be a great tool to integrate into their program.
This app is all about the users–there is a great community of people in it with you, plenty of whom are on a Whole30 themselves.
If you’re a food-pic-fanatic, this app is for you. Scroll through countless recipe photos to get inspired for your Whole30!
