About

Benchplate

Read full description

Benchplate is a nutrition tracker built for people who train. Most food apps stop at calories and three macro bars. Benchplate tracks the whole picture — protein, carbs and fat alongside fibre, minerals and vitamins, each with its own target or upper limit, and each shown only if you want to see it. WHAT YOU GET • Calories, macros and a full micronutrient catalogue, with reference values one tap away • Barcode scanner backed by the Open Food Facts database, plus a nutrition-label scan for products without a barcode • Your own food library and meal templates — log a repeat meal in two taps • Say what you ate, also with Siri, the Action Button or Control Center • Recipes with AI search, cooking mode, meal prep and a weekly plan with shopping list, or import your own from a link, photo or text • Water, protein per meal, body measurements, and warnings for intolerances and allergies • A weekly review that shows where the week actually went • Progress photos and a weight history with trend line • Switching from another app? Bring your meals and weight along via Apple Health or an export file • My Trainer: share your week with your personal trainer, only with your consent APPLE HEALTH Benchplate reads your steps from Apple Health and, only if you switch it on, your workouts and your weight. A workout turns the day into a training day with a higher calorie target. If you like, Benchplate also writes the nutrition of everything you log back to Apple Health. GOALS THAT KEEP UP Tell Benchplate how fast you want to move, in kilos per week, and it adjusts. Every week it recalculates your calorie target from your real weight trend and pulls protein, fat and the energy-dependent nutrient targets along with it. No redoing the maths after every phase change. AI WHERE IT EARNS ITS PLACE Photograph a meal or just describe it, and get nutrition values you can log straight away. The Coach answers questions about your day or your week from your own data and proposes calorie, macro, nutrient and step targets you can apply in one tap — it already knows your height, age and activity level, and it remembers what matters to you, on your device only. KEEP THE STREAK A streak counts every day you hit both your calories and your protein, with enough tolerance for normal fluctuation. A reward waits at 100 days. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Everything lives in your own private iCloud account and syncs across your devices. No analytics SDKs, no advertising networks, no third-party trackers, no password to remember. Only optional features send anything off your device: the AI ones, where nothing personal is stored, and the trainer connection, which shares exactly what you agree to. Widgets for the Home Screen and Lock Screen, an Apple Watch app and Share to Benchplate included. Available in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch and Polish. Three days free, then a monthly or yearly subscription. That subscription is the entire business model — there is no advertising or data angle behind it. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Benchplate gives estimates for everyday use and is not medical or dietary advice.
