## What is Thali?

Thali is the calorie tracker that actually understands what you're eating.

Most apps choke on real food. Search "palak paneer" or "chole bhature" and you get a vague guess, or nothing at all. So you give up logging. Thali is different.

KNOW WHAT'S REALLY IN YOUR FOOD
Thali breaks complex dishes down into their actual ingredients, each with its own macros. See exactly what's driving your calories: the rice, the dal, the oil, the ghee. Not just one fuzzy number. Adjust any ingredient and watch your totals update.

THREE WAYS TO LOG
- Snap a photo: point your camera at your plate and let AI identify what's on it
- Scan a barcode: instant nutrition for packaged foods
- Just type it: describe your meal in plain words, however you'd say it

BUILT FOR REAL EATING
Whether it's a home-cooked sabzi, a restaurant thali, or a packaged snack, Thali handles it. It's especially good with the dishes other trackers can't figure out.

TRACK WHAT MATTERS
- Daily calories and macros (protein, carbs, fat) at a glance
- Personalized targets based on your goals
- Weight and calorie trends over 7, 30 and 90 days
- Save your go-to dishes and log them again in one tap
- Streaks that reward showing up, with freezes for off days
- Light and dark mode
- Edit anything, so you're always in control of your log

Stop fighting your calorie tracker. Start logging food the way you actually eat it.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3.0 — 2026-09-27

This is the biggest update since launch.

LIGHT MODE
The app was dark-only. There's now a real light theme, with Light, Dark and System options in Settings.

A NEW LOOK
Liquid Glass on iOS 26 across home, Settings, Progress and onboarding, with a real blur on older devices. A new icon and cleaner type on every screen. Food rows now scroll under the calorie card and show through the glass.

LOGGING
The camera button opens a live camera card instead of an action sheet, and barcode scanning works the same way. If a photo fails, you keep your photo instead of being sent back to the camera. Long dish names now show in full on the home screen.

ONBOARDING, REBUILT
17 screens down to 11, with nothing dropped. Signup moved to the end, so you can see everything before anyone asks for an email. The intro shows a real diary card you can edit, and the "building your plan" screen shows the real math behind your target: BMR, activity, TDEE and deficit.

GOALS
The timeframe picker became a rate slider with haptics. Your calorie floor now scales with your own TDEE instead of one fixed number, and Settings keeps your goal above it.

STREAKS
The streak page is now a month calendar you can step through. Days covered by a freeze look different from days you missed.

PROGRESS
Charts follow your own time zone, so late dinners and evening weigh-ins count on the right day. The Today tile shows today's total.

PAYWALL
There's a close button now. Restore tells you what actually happened. Free-trial eligibility is checked, so returning users aren't promised a trial they can't get.

FIXES
Reminder times are editable in Settings. Saving tells you when something goes wrong. Password rules are clearer. Daily AI lookups raised to 100. Macro rings change color when you go over goal. Ideas titles are cleaner.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-07-16

- Redesigned dashboard: calorie gauge plus at-a-glance macro rings
- Smarter portion accuracy when you type quantities ("30 cherries", "2 cups rice")
- Smoother loading and clearer messages when a food can't be found
- Bug fixes and performance improvements

### 1.1.0 — 2026-07-07
