An example, not a promise. Every figure is an estimate, and you can correct any line of it.

Three steps, and the third one is optional

Most tracking apps make you find your food in a database. This one reads a sentence.

Write it, or photograph it

“Bratwurst in a roll with mustard” is enough. So is a picture of the plate, with a note if the portion was unusual.

Read the numbers

Calories and macros, plus fibre, sugar, saturated fat, sodium, calcium, iron, potassium and more, broken down per ingredient.

Correct what is off

Change any line, several at once, and the whole meal is worked out again. Renaming something costs nothing at all.

What is actually in it

Text or photo

Both go to the same analysis. A photo can carry a note, so “half of this” is understood.

Correctable line by line

If the portion is wrong, change that one line. Several corrections go out together as one recalculation.

Fifteen values, not four

Beyond calories and macros: fibre, sugar, saturated fat, sodium, calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, zinc, vitamin D, B12, caffeine, alcohol and fluids.

The meal follows the clock

Breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack come from the time you logged it. There is nothing to set.

Widgets and Siri

Home screen and lock screen widgets, and spoken shortcuts that log a meal without opening the app.

Nine languages

English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Simplified Chinese, including the food names.

Your own iCloud

History syncs through your iCloud account, so a new phone picks up where the old one stopped.

Daily goals from your body

Calories and macros derived from height, weight, age, activity and what you are aiming for.

Drinks count too

Water, coffee and everything else count toward a fluid target, and caffeine is tracked separately.

What it does, and what it does not

A nutrition app asks you to tell it what you eat. That deserves a straight answer about where it goes.

It does

  • Send the meal you describe to Google Gemini to be analysed, without anything that identifies you.
  • Keep that description in a shared cache for 180 days, so the same food need not be analysed twice.
  • Count an anonymous per-install number and a hashed IP address for 30 days, to run the free allowance.
  • Send anonymous crash reports, so defects can be found and fixed.

It does not

  • Ask for an account, a name or an email address. There is nothing to sign up for.
  • Keep your history, goals or profile anywhere but your device and your own iCloud.
  • Store your photos on any server. They are read, and discarded.
  • Use advertising identifiers, analytics, or share anything with data brokers.

The full detail is in the privacy policy.

Before you ask

How accurate is it?

It is an estimate, the same way reading a label and guessing your portion is an estimate. It is usually close for ordinary food and less certain for a home-cooked dish nobody could weigh. That is why every line can be corrected, and why the app never presents a figure as a measurement.

Do I need an account?

No. There is nothing to sign up for, no email is asked for, and there is no password to forget. Your history lives on your device and in your own iCloud.

Does it work without internet?

Logging does. The analysis needs a connection, so an entry made offline waits and is worked out as soon as you are back online.

Is it a medical device?

No. The figures are estimates and the targets are general reference values from published guidance, not medical or dietary advice. Talk to a doctor or dietitian about decisions that matter.

What happens after the 25 analyses?

Everything you already logged stays, and you can keep reading your history. New analyses need a subscription.

Which devices?

iPhone and iPad running iOS 16 or later.
