## What is Linup?

Tired of calorie counting? With Linup, log food by photo, barcode, text input or product search. Linup turns it into a transparent nutrition estimate.

WHAT MAKES LINUP DIFFERENT
- AI photo recognition with ingredient breakdown: you see HOW the estimate is built and fix it with one tap
- Photo AI is free, no subscription wall
- No ads in the app
- No ad-network tracking
- Your personal plan: lose weight, eat healthy, build muscle or gain weight, with an honest forecast instead of miracle promises
- Weekly deficit instead of a daily number: "1,500 kcal less is about 0.2 kg of fat"
- Product search with real packaging photos, barcode scanner with community database
- Suggestions that match YOUR goal, including vegetarian and vegan sections
- Steps from Apple Health count into your daily budget automatically
- 17 app languages

HONEST STAYS HONEST
No crash diets, no invented target corridors. Estimates are called estimates, and the trend matters more than a single day.

YOUR DATA
A free account keeps your entries backed up and on every device. Delete it anytime, right in the app.

Get Linup and make your next meal the easiest one of the day.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.8 — 2026-09-22

Apple Health connects again. iOS only asks for permission once — after that the button did nothing. Now it takes you straight to the Health app, where you allow Linup to read workouts. Fixed: the grey bar that slid down when closing the workout sheet.

### 1.1.7 — 2026-09-20

Workouts from Apple Watch and iPhone now arrive on their own — and you can edit or remove them if the watch recorded nonsense. Training has its own page on the home screen. Fixed: the back arrow in Quick food, nutrition fields in your own recipe, removing entries from Recently scanned, and swipe to delete on the home screen.

### 1.1.6 — 2026-09-17

The analysis now shows what it recognizes while it works. For typed meals, known foods now come from the food database. Sugar, fiber and salt are estimated instead of being left at 0. Fixed: the app could crash when swiping to delete an entry, and you were sometimes signed out unexpectedly.

### 1.1.5 — 2026-09-14

Photos are prepared more efficiently for analysis. Recognized quantities stay intact during product matching, ingredients are summed consistently, invalid values are caught, and photo details are easier to correct.

Apple Health steps refresh reliably when returning to the app and while the home screen is open. Total Apple Watch steps are read through the actual HealthKit connection instead of silently relying only on the iPhone sensor.

### 1.1.4 — 2026-09-03

The camera now responds instantly to the shutter, and photo analysis is about a third faster.

Linup now speaks Arabic as well. In Quick Meals, the coach suggests what your day is still missing.

Plus eleven fixes: the day selected in the weekly strip now opens correctly in the diary, photos survive an update, and the app starts faster.
