Hilib is a calorie and macro tracker built for people who want simplicity, not a second job. Log your meals, scan barcodes, and see exactly where you stand on calories, protein, carbs, fat, fibre, and sugars. All on one clean dashboard. No clutter, no ads, no guesswork. WHAT MAKES HILIB DIFFERENT Every nutrition app tells you what you already ate. Hilib tells you what to eat next. MacroMatch is an AI-powered feature that fills the gap no other tracker does. Tell it what you feel like: "something high in protein, not sweet, filling." It suggests foods that fit your remaining macros. Suggestions appear one at a time as swipeable cards: swipe right to log, swipe left to skip. It's the fastest way to close out your day without overthinking. CORE FEATURES • Daily dashboard: See your calories and macros at a glance, filtered by day. Progress rings show exactly how close you are to your targets. • Meal logging: Log food across breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Each meal shows a per-meal macro breakdown so you always know where your numbers come from. • Barcode scanner: Scan any product to instantly find it and log it. Fast, accurate, zero typing. • Streak tracking: Build consistency with a daily logging streak. Stay motivated by watching the number climb. • MacroMatch (Premium): Describe what you feel like eating in plain text and get personalised food suggestions matched to your remaining macros. Powered by AI. DESIGNED TO BE SIMPLE Hilib is free to use with no ads. The full tracker (food logging, barcode scanner, macro dashboard, and streaks) costs nothing. MacroMatch is available as an optional premium subscription for users who want smart food suggestions. Built for anyone who wants to eat better without drowning in complexity.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Coffee Pod Timer at none against Hilib's 2. Coffee Pod Timer also leads on iOS requirement (18.6 vs 26.0). Hilib's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 22 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
