## What is Thali?

Every calorie tracker was built for someone else's plate.

Thali is built for yours. Roti, dal, sabzi, biryani — logged in katori and pieces, not grams you have to guess at.

START WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT
Open Thali and go. Set your goal, get your calorie target and log your first meal before signing up for anything. 
Create an account when you want your plan saved across devices — everything you entered comes with you.

SEARCH THE WAY YOU SAY IT
Thayir sadam, begun bhaja, atta. Type a dish the way your family says it and Thali finds it, typos and all, and keeps your word for it in your diary. Suggestions appear as you type, with your recent foods and what's popular for this meal ready before the first letter.

FOODS YOU DON'T EAT
Tell Thali once: vegetarian, no egg, no beef, no pork, Jain and more. 
Search hides what doesn't fit, packaged foods are checked against their own ingredient lists, and when we can't be sure about a dish, we say so.

8,000+ FOODS, INDIAN FIRST
1,014 hand-reviewed Indian dishes from ICMR-NIN's Indian Food Composition Tables, Pakistani, Sri Lankan and Bangladeshi foods from their national food tables, plus the pizza, pasta and sandwiches you eat on the days you aren't cooking. One app, not two.

PORTIONS THE WAY YOU ACTUALLY MEASURE
A katori of dal and a katori of rice weigh different amounts. Thali knows the difference. 
Log by katori, piece, cup, tablespoon or grams. Log idli, and Thali offers the sambar that usually goes with it.

JUST SAY IT
"Do katori toor dal, ek roti aur thoda sa jeera rice." Half English, half Hindi, one breath — and it still gets the portions right. 
Works in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi and Urdu.

SCAN THE MENU, NOT JUST THE PLATE
Curry houses don't print calories. Photograph the menu and get an estimate per dish, before you order.

BUILT FOR RAMADAN AND VRAT
Sehri and Iftar times computed from where you actually are — Toronto, London, Dubai or Delhi — with your mosque's calculation method. 
Fasting-safe food flags for Navratri, Ekadashi and Jain fasts.

MEASURED ON SOUTH ASIAN THRESHOLDS
South Asians carry cardiometabolic risk at a lower BMI. Thali uses the 23 and 27.5 thresholds from the WHO's 2004 Asian cut-offs, not the Western 25 and 30 — and shows waist-to-height beside BMI. Every threshold is cited in the app.

NUTRITION YOU CAN CHECK
Built on the references dietitians actually cite: ICMR-NIN's Indian Food Composition Tables, USDA FNDDS and Open Food Facts. Nothing is invented — where a number isn't known, Thali says so instead of guessing, and every food shows its source.

WHAT YOU GET WITHOUT PAYING
Unlimited food logging, unlimited recipes, the full South Asian database, barcode scanning, fasting mode, meal reminders, nutrient alerts, 90 days of history, and a CSV export of everything you've ever logged. 
Your data is yours — no plan required to take it with you.

THALI PREMIUM
50 AI photo scans a day, the restaurant menu scanner, 100 voice logs a day, unlimited history, weekly target recalibration, and iron, B12 and vitamin D alerts.

Thali Premium — $6.99 USD/month or $34.99 USD/year. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation.
