Yumizo is an AI calorie tracker and food tracker with a pet who eats with you. Snap, say, scan or type what you ate, and your new friend shares every meal with you on the way to your goal. NO SIGN-UP TO START Open the app, answer a few questions about your goal and start logging. Yumizo works out a daily calorie target and a date to aim for. When you want to keep your progress safe, save it with Apple, Google or email. FOUR WAYS TO LOG A MEAL • Snap: photograph your plate. The AI names each food, estimates the portions and works out the calories. • Say: tell Yumizo what you ate, like “two eggs and toast with butter”. • Scan: point the camera at a barcode, or at a nutrition label for the AI to read. • Type: search the food database, describe a meal for the AI, quick add, or reuse your saved meals and your own foods. Every number stays editable, before and after you save. A PET WHO EATS WITH YOU Name your pet and share your meals at a picnic. It reacts to what you log, celebrates your streaks and sums up your week in a weekly recap. Earn Berries as you log and spend them on hats and scenery. Berry packs are an optional in-app purchase. WIDGETS Keep your pet, calories left, today’s meals and your water one glance away on your Home Screen, and add a glass of water right from the widget. On the Lock Screen, Snap opens the camera. Widgets need iOS 17 or later. MORE THAN MEALS Log water, weight, workouts and fasts next to your meals, with 12, 14 and 16-hour fasting plans. THE FREE PLAN Includes 2 AI logs a day: a meal photo, a nutrition label, a voice log or a meal you describe. A log where the AI finds no food doesn’t count. Barcode scanning and food search are unlimited for everyday use. YUMIZO PLUS An optional subscription that adds: • Unlimited AI logging (fair use applies) • Carbs, fats and protein for every meal, and your macro balance • Custom fasting windows and stats on every fast • A personal meal plan built from your answers, with a grocery list • Statistics: your weeks and months at a glance • Your water by the day and by the week • Awards and highlights for your meals, and Plus-only hats, glasses and sceneries The price and any free trial are shown in the app before you buy. Plus renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. YOUR DATA, YOUR CHOICE No ads.
