READ OUR USER REVIEWS "After just one week of listening to this app, my “sweet tooth” was gone and I was able to get my stress eating under control. This app literally helped me turn a corner in what has been a life-long struggle." "This app has helped me control my appetite in a way that nothing else ever has. My ability to control my appetite is virtually effortless. Food is not the center of my world anymore. It’s very liberating." "I was really skeptical and I normally don’t do reviews unless an app was horrible but seriously…wow. I started using this app 2 weeks ago and while I know your suppose to shoot for no more than 2lbs a week….I’ve lost 12lbs. I do this one in conjunction with their exercise one as well as another weight loss hypnosis app & an intuitive eating hypnosis. and this one is my favorite. I throw it on mid-day when I start craving sweets. I have not had processed sugar for a week and when I did break down for a brownie it tasted chemically. I’m in love with hypnosis now." "At first I didn’t think it would work, but after listening to it just once I began to pick healthier choices and wasn’t hungry all the time. I now use this app every morning to start my day right with the right mind set and the wake up feature is like my own cup-o-coffee." "So glad I downloaded this app!! I never thought this would work but boy I was wrong!! I use it every night to help me fall asleep and I’ve lost 40lbs!!"

Shelf Control
Read full descriptionHide full description
Shelf Control is a calorie tracker for people who just want to scan the food and move on. I built it after signing up for one of those fitness bootcamp things, which is apparently a socially acceptable way to pay someone to make your muscles hurt for three days, three times a week. The routine was simple enough: high-intensity workouts, a couple of 5k runs, cycling to the office, and --because joy must be rationed-- trying to do all of that while staying in a calorie deficit. Which led to one very practical lunchtime question: How many calories are in this packet of crisps? Or sandwich. Or yoghurt. Or suspiciously tiny “healthy” snack that somehow contains the energy density of a small moon. There are plenty of apps for calorie tracking. Many of them are powerful, polished, and full of features. Some will build you a nutrition plan. Some will ask about your goals. Some will encourage you. Some will congratulate you. Some will send notifications at times of day when no one should be using the phrase “you’ve got this.” Shelf Control is not that app. Shelf Control does not ask for your name. It does not ask for your email address. It does not ask for your height, your weight, your target weight, your lifestyle goals, your social graph, or your permission to send motivational push notifications at 7:03 in the morning. Because it does not send any. It just scans barcodes, looks up food products, shows you the calories, and adds them to your day. That is the point. Open the app, scan a barcode, check the calories, and decide whether the item is worth it. Eat it, put it back, or stare at it for a few seconds while recalculating your life choices. Shelf Control will not judge you out loud. It will simply print the receipt. The app uses a playful receipt-style interface to show what you have eaten today. Each scanned item appears as a line on your daily calorie receipt, with a running total at the top. You can also check your recent log to see previous days and keep an eye on your average. It is deliberately small. Deliberately simple. Deliberately uninterested in becoming your lifestyle coach. What Shelf Control does: Scan food barcodes in seconds. Show calorie information for scanned products. Add items to your daily total. Display today’s intake as a receipt. Let you browse recent days. Show your daily average. Keep the interface focused, quick, and oddly satisfying. What Shelf Control does not do: It does not create a profile. It does not ask for an account. It does not ask for your name. It does not ask for your email address. It does not ask for your height or weight. It does not ask for your target weight. It does not ask about your lifestyle goals. It does not ask to connect to friends. It does not build a social graph. It does not send motivational push notifications. It does not pretend a barcode scanner is a personality. Shelf Control is for quick, practical calorie awareness. It is for the moment when you are standing in a shop, holding a packet of something, and want to know whether it fits into the day. The barcode lookup is powered by Open Food Facts. Product availability and accuracy depend on the information available for each barcode, so some products may be missing or imperfect. But when a product is found, Shelf Control makes the decision fast: scan, read, add, move on. Your daily food log is stored on your device. The app is designed around not needing personal details in the first place. No account setup, no onboarding questionnaire, no “tell us about your journey.” Just the barcode. Just the calories. Just the receipt. Shelf Control is not here to transform your life. It is here to answer one small question quickly: How many calories is this? And then let you get on with your day.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shelf Control at none against Lose Weight Hypnosis's 2. Lose Weight Hypnosis's advantage is device support and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.2). On price there is nothing between them.
