Everything below ships in the free app. There is no premium tier, because there is no tier at all.
Write your meal like a text message. The AI splits it into foods with portions, calories, protein, carbs, and fat, and asks at most one short question when a detail really matters, like "fried or grilled?"
Tap the mic and talk. Your words stream into the box live. Great while cooking with messy hands.
Snap your plate and the app answers: "Chicken taco with sauce, about 280. Rice, about 210. Look right?" Leave your fork in the shot and portion guesses get sharper. You confirm before anything is saved.
Barcodes resolve through the free Open Food Facts database. No barcode? Photograph the Nutrition Facts label instead and the printed numbers are read exactly.
Every confirmed food joins your personal library with its portion and numbers. Repeats become one-tap Quick log buttons. Portions are asked in human units: 1 chicken breast, 2 tacos, half a serving, with live calories as you adjust. Logged something wrong? Tap to fix the amount or move it to another meal, swipe to delete with a 5-second Undo. Mistakes cost nothing here.
List the ingredients and the AI returns per-serving calories and macros plus a 1 to 10 health score with friendly notes that always start with what is good about the dish.
Scan the barcode of each ingredient and say how much goes in the pot. Scanned items use real label data the AI is not allowed to second-guess.
Change quantities or ingredients anytime. The app asks: replace the original, or keep both versions?
Send a recipe as a tidy text card. Friends with Calorie Tally paste it in and get the full recipe, numbers and all.
Pick a direction and a pace. The budget comes from the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, the standard clinical formula, with safety floors it never crosses.
Formulas are starting guesses. After a few weekly weigh-ins the app compares your real trend to the plan and suggests a small budget tweak. Nothing changes unless you tap yes.
Protein, carb, and fat targets in grams with sensible defaults and full custom control. Protein-forward, because muscle is worth keeping.
Reads daily steps from Health Connect. Optionally, steps beyond 5,000 earn a few honest calories back, because your budget already covers normal moving around.
An optional mode for people who manage diabetes. Carbs get top billing on every meal and food. Each food gets a plain-words flag: steady (green), moderate (orange), or fast carbs (red), with a one-line reason like "white bun hits fast" or "fiber and protein keep this steady". Recipes gain a blood sugar note with one gentle swap, and menu suggestions favor options that are easier on blood sugar.
No account, no cloud, no analytics, nothing to sell. Every log lives in a database on your device, with one-tap JSON backup.
The AI runs on a free key you create with Google or Groq (Anthropic works too). Guided setup in the app. Keys are stored only on your phone. If one provider has a bad day, the app automatically retries with your other keys.
A built-in troubleshooting log shows what the app was doing if something goes wrong, and the Help section explains everything in plain language.
Two minutes of setup, then just tell it what you ate.
