A Proudly Canadian Nutrition Tracking App 🇨🇦

At Cronometer, we’re incredibly proud to be a Canadian company based in Revelstoke, BC. As more Canadians seek to support local businesses, we want to take a moment to celebrate our roots and thank all of our users, from Canada and beyond, for choosing a homegrown, bootstrapped company that’s dedicated to helping everyone reach their health goals. 

Staying True To Canadian Values

  • We Do The Right Thing
    One of the core values which everyone at the company shares is that we don’t do anything that makes us feel slimy. The company is led with this value front and center, which in many situations, has us leaving revenue on the table in favour of doing what’s right. This is the reason why we do not sell your data. We have a strong belief that your data belongs to you and you only.
  • We Want To Help
    Another thing that gets us all out of bed every day is that we’re helping people. We want each of our users to be successful in their health journeys and want everyone to feel their best. This is why we’ve structured the app to give users access to so much information, free of charge. Also, our Customer Support team goes above and beyond every day to make sure we’re helping every user who reaches out. We love making a positive impact on people’s lives.
  • We Strive To Do Better
    Another value that our founders all share is the drive to constantly be improving. We know we’re not perfect! But we are consistently working to improve existing features and introduce new functionality that will help our users. If you have an idea or suggestion on how we can improve the app, we’d love to hear it!

Canadian, But Also...

Aside from supporting a homegrown Canadian company, here are a few other reasons why you might choose Cronometer over the competition:

  • Accurate & Reliable
    You can rely on our nutrition data because it comes from lab-analyzed sources or is verified by a staff member.
  • Unrivalled Depth of Data
    We provide nutrition information on up to 84 nutrients, going way beyond the macros. Dive into your vitamin and mineral intake to optimize your health further.
  • Top-Notch Data Security
    We go above and beyond what’s legally required of us in order to protect your privacy. We will never sell your data to a third party and you’ll always have the option to delete all of your data.
  • The Underdog
    Many of our competitors are owned or funded by investment firms or large corporations. Not us! Cronometer was started off the side of our CEO’s desk back in 2005. We’ve slowly grown to just over 50 employees with no external investment supporting our growth. Yes, that’s right – we’re still and plan to always be, a bootstrapped company. To this day, we credit our success to our incredibly loyal users and their word of mouth.

Share The Crono Love

Your support by simply being a user means the world to us, and we’d never ask for more. But if you’re looking to go above and beyond, here are a few ways you can continue to support Cronometer:

  • Tell Your Friends
    Cronometer has over 10 million users worldwide, and we owe much of that success to word-of-mouth recommendations. If you love the app, share it with your friends, family, healthcare professionals, and clients! Plus, you can earn rewards through our Refer a Friend program.
  • Rate Us on the App Store
    A simple 4 or 5-star rating on the App Store or Google Play Store helps boost our visibility in the Health & Fitness category. It also makes our team’s day—one of our staff members personally responds to every review!
  • Follow & Tag Us on Social Media
    Stay connected with us on social media! We share updates on new features, nutrition tips, and motivation to help you get the most out of the app. Facebook | YouTube | Instagram | Twitter | Reddit | Tik Tok
  • Share Your Story
    We love hearing how Cronometer has helped you on your health journey. If you’d like to share your experience, tag us on social media or send us an email—we’d love to feature your story!
