Grava turns a photo of your food into calories and macros in seconds. No searching food databases, no weighing portions, no math — point your camera, confirm, done. Under the hood, Google's Gemini analyzes your food photos with state-of-the-art accuracy, and Apple Intelligence steps in as an on-device backup — so Grava keeps working even when you have no connection. LOG FOOD IN SECONDS - Snap a photo of your meal - Add a quick note for extra accuracy - Import a photo or screenshot — menus, nutrition labels, and delivery-app orders all work - Or just type what you ate HONEST ESTIMATES, NOT FAKE PRECISION No app can know your burrito had exactly 743 calories — and any app that claims to is guessing. Grava shows you the honest range instead. Pick how to count it once — top of the range for cutting, middle for maintenance, bottom for bulking — and Grava applies it automatically. Every value can be edited, and nothing is logged until you confirm. You can even snap a photo just to check a meal without logging it. TARGETS BUILT AROUND YOU A 30-second setup (sex, birth year, height, weight, activity level) computes your maintenance calories using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, plus targets for losing or gaining 1–2 lb per week. Every day shows exactly where you stand: deficit or surplus. MADE FOR REAL LIFE - Night owl? End your calorie day after midnight (up to 6 AM) so late-night snacks count toward the right day — Grava even offers this automatically if it notices you logging late - See your history as a line chart, calendar, or list, with weekly per-day averages and full macro breakdowns - Sign in with Apple and your history syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac Photo estimates use Google Gemini; offline backup estimates require a device with Apple Intelligence enabled. Download Grava and log your next meal in the time it takes to take a picture.
