Tom from AteMate

AteMate was born from our team’s shared frustration with dieting and tracking tools that made health harder instead of easier. Each of us went through our own self-transformations—facing negative habits, experimenting with small changes, and discovering firsthand that progress is possible through awareness, not restriction.

For me personally, a harsh wake-up moment forced me to re-evaluate my lifestyle. Simple food journaling and small habit shifts helped me get back on a sustainable, healthy path. But I also saw how limited and judgmental existing apps were, and that’s what inspired me—and ultimately, our team—to build something different.

Together, we’re committed to creating a mindful, non-judgmental journaling experience that empowers curiosity and sustainable change. Our mission is to help people reconnect with their bodies, experiment with small steps, and build lasting habits that improve not only individual lives but also overall well-being in society.
