Abstract: Introduction: In recent years, society presented a growing interest in leading a healthy life, which boosted the development of technological tools focused on a balanced diet. In this context, conscious eating has positioned itself as an essential practice. Andrea A. Fernández (2022) defined it as the act of paying full attention to the moment of eating, moving away from strict diets and promoting sustainable habits. The Universidad Valle del Grijalva reinforced this vision by understanding the eating plan as a comprehensive, personalized approach oriented to lasting wellness.Development: To support these habits, the development of mobile applications using modern technologies was proposed. SwiftUI, Apple's framework, facilitated the creation of declarative and efficient interfaces. The MVVM architecture made it possible to better organize the code by separating the logic from the user interface, improving scalability. On the backend, Node.js enabled efficient handling of multiple simultaneous requests, while MongoDB offered flexibility in storing large volumes of unstructured data. In addition, analysis of existing applications revealed that many offered useful features such as product scanning or habit monitoring, but few managed to truly integrate a conscious, personalized approach.Conclusions: The analysis demonstrated that it was possible to unite advanced technology and mindful nutrition in an innovative solution. Opportunities were identified to design an application that would not only function as a monitoring tool, but also educate and motivate the user to adopt healthy habits, based on mindfulness and effective personalization.
