Vivara - the only tracker where your nutrition and your training actually talk to each other. Most apps give you a flat daily calorie number. But your body doesn't work on a fixed budget, a long walk, a heavy leg day, or a quiet rest day all change what you need. Vivara is built around one core idea: your macros should move with you. - Dynamic Goals - our signature engine This is what makes Vivara different. Our Dynamic Goals algorithm continuously connects three things most apps treat separately: • Your baseline - calculated from real exercise science (Mifflin–St Jeor BMR, weight trend, goal rate) • Your movement - steps, active calories, and workouts pulled live from Apple Health • Your goal - cut, maintain, bulk, or perform Every day, Vivara compares what you actually did against your rolling 14-day baseline and gently adjusts your calorie and macro targets - dampened and capped, so a single big day never tips you into "earned calorie" binging or under-fueling. Open the Today screen and you'll see exactly why your number changed: base kcal, activity adjustment, goal adjustment, all laid out. It's not magic. It's an algorithm built on published exercise physiology, the closest thing to a coach watching your week unfold in real time. - Workout calories you can actually trust Vivara uses MET-based estimates for cardio and strength, cross-checked with heart rate via the Keytel formula, conservative on purpose. No inflated numbers, just honest data feeding your daily targets. - The Today dashboard A single screen for your macros, calories, workouts, steps, weight progress, and a daily score (0–100) that tells you how you're really doing, at a glance. - Logging that gets out of your way • Snap a meal photo for a quick macro estimate • Build a personal food library for one-tap logging • Create custom recipes with full nutrition breakdowns • Plan your week ahead with the meal planner • Scan barcodes for packaged foods - Workouts, built around you Browse hundreds of exercises, log strength sessions set-by-set with rest timers, track cardio with live heart rate, follow your session on your iPhone lock screen and Apple Watch with Live Activities. Completed workouts sync back to Apple Health automatically. - Friends, feed, and friendly challenges Add friends, share meals and workouts on the activity feed, react and comment, and join step, protein, and workout challenges. Accountability that actually keeps you going. - Streaks, badges, and seasons Weekly badges, lifetime milestones, and 12-week seasons make the long game fun. Stay consistent and earn an Active Member discount on your next renewal! - Built for Apple Health Steps, workouts, heart rate, and active calories sync both ways. Your Activity rings and your nutrition stay perfectly in sync. - Free to start. Premium when you want more. Track meals and workouts free forever. Upgrade to Premium for higher AI limits and to support the small team building Vivara. Stay active and unlock the Active Member discount to make Premium even cheaper. Download Vivara and finally stop guessing whether you ate too much, too little, or just enough, let the numbers move with you. - From a tiny team, with a lot of heart! Vivara is built by just three people - one developer, one designer, and one branding & marketing lead. After many months of work and a long closed beta with users we love, we're finally opening Vivara to the world. This is day one, not the finish line. We have a long roadmap and the app will keep getting better. If something feels off, missing, or just almost right, tell us. Real feedback is how Vivara gets shaped. If you enjoy the app and want to support us, going Premium is the single biggest thing you can do. It directly funds the small team behind Vivara, keeps us motivated to keep shipping, and unlocks a bigger weekly limit on our AI-powered features. We hope you love using it as much as we loved building it, we're so glad you're here! ## Key features - Dynamic calorie and macro goals - Trusted workout calorie estimates - Comprehensive Today dashboard - Flexible food logging - Set-by-set strength logging - Social features for accountability ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **Subscriptions** | Subscription | Price | Period | | --- | --- | --- | | Vivara Premium | $6.99 | per month | ## Recent user reviews (4 of 4) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/vivara/id6759578335/reviews.md ### 5/5 — GREAT APP *2026-07-01* This app is the best fitness/food tracker I’ve used. So easy, love the AI features and love having fitness guides all in one place ### 5/5 — Incredible app! No other words— and FREE! 🤩🤩 *2026-06-08* This app is absolutely amazing, it does so many things at once— I’ve never been able to find an app that is able to track your calories, carbs, fat, protein, workouts and movement, make a diet plan, add recipes, track your steps, and more all in ONE FREE app! It just does so much all in one app but it’s not overwhelming at all and the little tutorials explaining everything are very helpful. If you are looking for an app to help you either lose weight, gain muscle, maintain weight, or just get a look at your habits, this app is certainly the one for you. ### 5/5 — Best fitness app I have found *2026-06-07* This app has been a lifesaver in my fitness journey and I cannot recommend it enough. The thing I love most is how it tracks my macros and workouts in a way that is personalized to my goals instead of a one size fits all approach like most fitness apps. The AI features are especially helpful as well and make everything a lot easier. Being able to describe a food and the quantity I am having and have the app accurately calculate my macros has made logging so much more realistic for everyday life as well as the ability to easily change a portion size and the macros immediately adjust to the quantity. As someone who enjoys a wide range of workouts from weightlifting to pilates and yoga, I also appreciate that I am not locked into one specific training style and I can build my own workouts or let the AI put together a plan that fits my schedule and lifestyle. For anyone who has ever struggled with calorie logging, Vivara is a game changer. Even when I cook something from scratch I can still log it accurately and stay consistent, thanks to the AI feature and the extensive food database. Vivara has honestly become a nonnegotiable part of my daily routine. Whether you are a dedicated gym goer or just starting to prioritize your health, this app does a great job of tailoring everything to your specific needs and the lifestyle you are working toward and I truly think there is something in it for everyone. ### 5/5 — Fitness made easy *2026-06-07* Vivara’s easy to use and brings detail and insight into my fitness journey. With the intuitive interface, easy to use functionality, and access to ai — Vivara guides my health into optimal performance and gives me peace of mind. Vivara helps me track my diet, exercise routines, and with fun interactive challenges with my friends; Vivara has become my go to coach to keep me focused and motivated. ## Frequently asked questions about Vivara ### How does Vivara calculate dynamic goals?

Supplements: scheduled doses now land on the right day in your diary, protein powders count their macros per serving, Stack Review totals add up correctly, and reminders are more reliable. The coach now respects your pregnancy setting, and the library grows to 95 entries. Plus smaller fixes throughout. ### 1.4.0 — 2026-08-31 Supplements are here. THE LIBRARY, FREE 80+ supplements graded A to F on the evidence for a specific goal, not on the supplement as a whole. Creatine is strong for strength and thin for focus, and the library says both. Every entry is written in plain English and cites its sources, mostly NIH fact sheets and published reviews. That includes the ones the research does not support, which get their own honest write-up. YOUR STACK, FREE Scan a bottle's barcode, or point the camera at its Supplement Facts panel and we will read the label. Set the times you take it, get reminders, and tick off doses from your Today screen. Ask the coach about any entry and the answer stays grounded in that entry. STACK REVIEW, PRO One screen for everything you take: which goals your stack is genuinely built for, which items food usually covers, duplicate ingredients across products, timing clashes, and a written read from Vivara Coach. Vivara does not sell supplements and never will. Everything here is educational information, not medical advice, and the app defers to your doctor or pharmacist where it should. ### 1.3.3 — 2026-08-23 Say it and it lands right. Voice logging got a thorough pass. Amounts work in far more of the ways people actually say them: "3 eggs", "100 grams of chicken", "half a cup of rice", "2 slices of pizza", or a whole sentence like "for breakfast I had eggs". Ask for two things at once and you get two things, instead of one guess at a dish that matches neither. And when an amount can't be applied exactly as asked, you hear so, rather than a confirmation for a portion you did not get. Shortcuts you saved with a quantity now keep that quantity, and a food that has dropped off your recent list still resolves instead of quietly failing. Also in this release: - Steps and activity refresh when you open the app, not just on a cold start - A meal planned at 2 servings stays 2 servings when you open it or log it - Changing a meal's quantity no longer drifts its calories - Exercise clips are silent, so they no longer interrupt your music - Widget taps log more reliably, and a second workout in a day keeps its fasted badge - The Vivara bottle holder is now $27.99 with free shipping ### 1.3.2 — 2026-08-23 Say it and it lands right.
