## What is Calcalou?

Calcalou is the calorie counter and food diary with a friend inside: tell Lou what you ate, and Lou does the counting.

Most calorie counters feel like spreadsheets. Calcalou feels like a game — with a mascot who cheers you on, daily streaks, level-ups, and achievements that turn healthy habits into something you actually want to come back to.

WHY CALCALOU

• A real character, not a database. Lou, your friendly food-tracking sidekick, reacts to what you log, celebrates your streaks, and gently nudges you when you skip a day.

• 30-second start. Sign in with one tap (Apple or Google), tell us your name, and you're logging by minute one. Your diary lives in your account: a new phone brings your history, streaks and levels with it.

• Snap. Estimate. Done. AI photo recognition turns a meal into a calorie estimate in seconds — no barcode, no database hunting. (Premium feature.)

• Streaks that stick. Daily logging streaks, level-ups, share-able milestone cards, and quietly satisfying notifications keep you coming back without nagging.

• Built for the long haul. Cloud sync across iPhone and iPad. Multilingual: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish.

KEY FEATURES

• Track eaten and burned calories in one place
• Custom daily calorie goals (deficit, maintenance, or surplus)
• Streaks, levels, and achievements
• Daily and weekly challenges, plus a weekly summary with stats
• Base burn (BMR) calculator, so burned calories count toward what's left
• AI food recognition from photos (Premium)
• Home-screen widgets — see today's balance at a glance
• Lock Screen widgets, Live Activity and Siri Shortcuts
• Works with the Apple Health app: Calcalou can add your daily calories to Health and show your active energy from it.
• Cross-device sync via Apple ID or Google
• Privacy-first: your food log is your data, never sold

Thanks for tracking with us. We read every review.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-10-02

Calcaloo now works with Apple Health.

• Turn on Apple Health in Profile: your daily calories go to Health as one total per day, today's active energy shows on the home screen, and your latest weight can fill in the base burn calculator.
• Entries logged offline keep the time you logged them, even if you change time zones before they sync.
• Streak and level-up banners now sit at the bottom, out of the way of your diary.
• Smaller fixes: the home-screen widget fits longer translations, a goal change shows as waiting to sync, and the goal dialog and photo results look tidier.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-10-01

Your diary now lives in your account.

• One account, every device: iPhone and iPad see the same diary. Sign in once with Apple or Google and your history, streaks and levels follow you to a new phone.
• Meet the new Calcaloo — the mascot from the icon, now everywhere in the app.
• Always know what's saved: the home screen shows what is waiting to sync and what has been sent.
• Something didn't work? Write to us right from the error, or from Settings — we reply, in character.
• Under the hood: clearer crash reports, so fixes come faster.
