## What is Kalvo?

Point your camera at your plate. Kalvo identifies each food, estimates the portion and logs calories, protein, carbs and fat — in seconds.

No database searching. No weighing. No account.

LOG YOUR WAY
• Snap a photo — AI recognizes each item with a portion estimate and confidence score
• Describe a meal in words and let AI estimate it
• Fix any result in plain English — "no rice, extra chicken"
• Scale portions (0.5×–2×) with macros updating live
• Barcode scanner via Open Food Facts
• Scan the Nutrition Facts label on a package and log exactly what it says
• Manual entry, recent foods and saved favorites — log any way you like

KNOWS WHAT YOU ACTUALLY EAT
Kalvo tailors its food knowledge to your country — real dishes, brands and portion sizes from where you live, so estimates fit what is actually on your plate. Set or change your country any time.

YOUR PERSONAL PLAN
A short quiz builds a daily calorie and macro target using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation — the formula dietitians use. Targets adjust automatically as your weight changes, with an optional goal-weight line on your chart. After about a month of logging, Kalvo can measure what you actually burn from your own food and weight logs and offer to update your target — you decide whether to take it.

STAY ON TRACK
• Animated calorie ring and macro bars on Today
• Meals grouped by breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks
• Water tracking and streaks, with Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets
• Calendar history and 7/30-day trend charts
• Weekly insights: average calories, on-target days, weight change
• Optional daily reminder and Apple Health weight sync

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No sign-up. No ads. No tracking. The photos you take are analyzed but not stored on our servers. Your data stays on your device — or syncs through your own private iCloud, which we can never read. No email, no password. Export everything to CSV, or delete it all with one tap.

KALVO PRO
Build your personal calorie plan free when you set up. Kalvo Pro then unlocks the app: AI photo scanning, describe-a-meal, barcode lookup, nutrition label scanning, manual logging, trends and streaks (fair use: up to 20 AI scans a day):
• Monthly
• Annual, with a 3-day free trial (best value)
Prices are shown in your local currency in the app before you subscribe.
Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store settings.

Kalvo provides estimates for general wellness and is not medical advice.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.2.1 — 2026-10-05

• Accessibility improvements throughout the app
• More reliable iCloud sync between your devices
• Using Kalvo on more than one device? Update them all to this version.
• Bug fixes and small improvements

### 1.2 — 2026-10-02

A fresh new look, a clearer plan from day one, and charts you can explore.

Apple Health, done properly. Connect Health during setup and Kalvo shows what you have burned today and your steps, and adds to your target only the activity that goes beyond what your plan already counts on — so a workout is never counted twice. You can also have the meals, water and weight you log saved to Health. Health data never leaves your phone.

Scan the nutrition label. Photograph the table on a packet and Kalvo reads what is printed — calories, protein, carbs, fat, fibre, sugars and salt — and sets the amount to the serving size. It checks the energy figure against the label's own kJ number and tells you if it corrected anything.

Fibre, sugars and salt, wherever they are known: from photos, descriptions, barcodes, labels and your own entries. Unknown stays unknown rather than showing as zero.

A target measured from your own logs. After a few weeks of logging and weigh-ins, Kalvo can work out what you really burn in a day and offer a target based on it. It is only ever offered — nothing changes unless you tap.

Also new: a water widget you can tap to add a glass, a smoothed trend line on the weight chart, "Copy to today" on any past meal, and every setting you need covered during setup.

Fixed: the home screen widget could show an old calorie target after you logged a weight or edited your targets.

### 1.1 — 2026-07-27

A Kalvo Pro subscription is now required to log meals. Kalvo Pro now comes as a monthly or annual plan, with a 3-day free trial on annual. Existing annual subscribers move to the new lower price at their next renewal.

Setting up Kalvo is new. It shows you what the app does and how it handles your data before asking anything, then builds a plan around your goal, your pace and your timeline — with a weight curve you can watch move as you change the pace.

Choose metric, US imperial or UK imperial — including stone and pounds — right at the start, instead of hunting for it in Settings.

Connect Apple Health during setup and your weight is filled in for you.

Fixed: goal dates were worked out from the pace you asked for rather than the one your plan actually sets, so they were optimistic. They are now accurate, and they include the year.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-22
