About

XCal Tracker

Read full description

Calorie tracking, finally simple. Most calorie apps feel like work. Endless menus, barcode scans, serving sizes. XCal works the way you think! Just type what you ate. "Two slices of salami pizza" "A bowl of oatmeal with blueberries" "Big mac and fries" That's it. Our AI instantly calculates the calories and macros, right next to your entry. No searching a database. No guessing portion codes. Just write, and you're done. A food diary that actually feels like a diary. Your meals appear as a clean, minimal list; like a notepad, not a spreadsheet. Tap any entry to reveal protein, sugar, fiber, and more. Clean. Fast. Out of your way. Snap it, don't type it. In a rush? Upload a photo of your meal and the AI figures out the rest. Understand your habits, not just your calories. See how your intake shifts across the week. Discover which days you tend to overeat, what foods you reach for most, and whether you're hitting your goal. Set your goal, track your progress. Define your daily calorie target and watch your totals build naturally throughout the day -- no complicated setup required. XCal is for people who want to be aware of what they eat without turning it into a second job.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Fooodpedia at none against XCal Tracker's shown. XCal Tracker's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
