Calories, protein, carbs, fat and 80+ nutrients in seconds. No scrolling through a long food list. No hunting for barcodes. No premium tier hiding behind a button. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT • Free for good. Every feature. No upsells. No trial that quietly bills you. • AI reads your meal. Type "two eggs, toast, black coffee" — get the full breakdown right away. • Three ways to log. Voice, photo, or text. Use whichever is fastest. • 80+ nutrients, not 5. Calories, macros, vitamins, minerals, fiber, iron, zinc — the whole picture. • No food scale. "A handful of almonds" or "big bowl of pasta" is specific enough.

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Meals, weight, photos, measurements — kept on your device and your iCloud. Never sold. Never shared. The AI request that reads your meal text or photo goes anonymously to our server: no name, no email, no Apple ID, no device identifier attached. FREE, SUPPORTED BY ADS better. is free because of ads. One small banner above the tab bar, plus a brief full-screen ad between meal estimates — never more than once every 45 seconds. In the EU, UK and Switzerland we ask before any ad is personalized. Accept, customize, or refuse — your call, and nothing else in the app changes.
