BiteByte Story

It all started with a climbing problem.

Hi, I'm Cedric Bovar, creator of BiteByte.

Cedric BovarMy journey to building this app wasn't linear—it was born from a personal passion and a professional skill set. I discovered bouldering a few years ago and was instantly hooked. Like any climber, I wanted to get better and stronger, but I realized that a huge part of performance is nutrition. I needed a way to get serious about my diet, but I hated every food tracking app I tried. They were tedious and felt like a chore.

The Instagram Journal

So, I did what felt natural: I created a private Instagram account and started posting photos of everything I ate. It was simple, visual, and surprisingly effective for accountability, even if my only followers were my mom, my dad, my wife, and my sister!

Connecting the Dots

In my professional life, I work with AI and machine learning every day. One day, it clicked. What if I could combine my simple, photo-based journaling method with the AI I use professionally? What if an app could do all the hard work for me? That's how BiteByte was born.

The Journey Continues

My passion for climbing is what started it all, and it keeps me connected to the community I built this app for. I built BiteByte to be the app I always wanted: something fast, intuitive, and insightful. It's the result of my journey, and I hope it can help you on yours.
