Most calorie trackers ask your age, height and a vague activity level, run a formula, and hand you a number. That number is wrong for most people by 200-400 calories - and it never changes. The ones that use your watch's "active calories" swap one estimate for another. Cali measures instead. MEASURED, NOT GUESSED Cali works out your real daily energy expenditure from the only two things that can't lie: what you eat, and how your weight actually moves. If you eat 2,400 calories a day and hold weight, you burn 2,400 calories - whatever your watch says. Your target updates every week as your metabolism shifts. IT WORKS EVEN IF YOU LOG IMPERFECTLY Most people under-report what they eat. Cali is built for that. Because your expenditure is derived from your own logs and your own weight trend, consistent under-logging cancels out - and your target still produces the rate of change you asked for. You do not have to be meticulous. You have to be consistent. LOG IN WHATEVER WAY IS FASTEST - Photograph a plate and check the estimate before it saves - Scan a barcode, or point the camera at the nutrition label - Say it out loud - "half a bowl of oats with a splash of almond milk" - Type it naturally, search a database, or log a restaurant dish Photo, voice and text logging all run on your device. Nothing about your food is uploaded. SEE THE SIGNAL, NOT THE NOISE Your weight swings a kilo or two a day from water alone. Cali separates your true trend from that noise and shows you both, so you learn to stop panicking about a bad morning on the scale. TRAINING THAT ADAPTS Cali reads how your last sets actually went - reps completed, reps left in reserve - and tells you exactly what to put on the bar next. WORKS WITH WHAT YOU ALREADY WEAR Reads weight, steps, sleep and heart rate variability from Apple Health - including anything your Apple Watch, Oura ring or Whoop strap writes there. Your meals are written back so your other apps stay in step. PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION There is no Cali server. Your food, your weight and your training stay on your device and in your private iCloud. Cali is a fitness tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose or treat any condition. Talk to a clinician about pain, injury or a medical concern. CALI PRO Cali is free to download. After your first food log, continuing requires a Cali Pro subscription, which unlocks everything described above: adaptive metabolism targets, photo, voice and barcode logging, weekly target updates, and autoregulated training. - Cali Pro Annual - $79.99 per year, starting with a 1-month free trial - Cali Pro Monthly - $14.99 per month Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
