## What is BetterCal?

Snap a meal. See your remaining calorie budget.

BetterCal helps you log meals from photos, estimate calories and macros, and review your daily goals and food trends.

Photo logging with editable portions
Take a photo or choose one from your library to get an AI estimate of calories, protein, carbohydrates and fat. Review the ingredients and adjust portions or ingredient weights to better reflect what you ate.

Your day and your longer-term habits
See daily calorie and macro goals, then look back over 7-day or 30-day views. With your permission, Apple Health provides activity energy, steps and weight data alongside your food records.

Keep your records within reach
Widgets show today’s calories and your latest meal, or open meal capture quickly. Optional iCloud sync keeps meal records and photos on devices using the same iCloud account. Export your food log as a CSV file when you want a copy.

Analysis options and subscriptions
Cloud AI analysis requires an internet connection and uploads meal photos with your consent. It includes a free allowance and optional auto-renewable in-app subscriptions. Current allowances, prices and benefits are shown in the app. Apple Intelligence can be selected on supported devices, subject to system and model availability.

AI recognition and nutrition values are estimates. Review them against the food and portions you actually ate. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings.
