Caligo is the calorie tracker for people who hate calorie trackers. If you’ve used apps like MyFitnessPal before, you already know the drill: search for foods, scan barcodes, fix weird entries, weigh ingredients, then eventually give up because it’s too much effort. Caligo takes a simpler approach. Log rough calories quickly. Track your weight consistently. Focus on progress over time instead of perfect entries every day. Why people use Caligo: • Fast calorie logging No barcode scanning. No food database admin. No overbuilt meal-entry flow. • Built for rough tracking You don’t need perfect logs. You just need to be reasonably consistent. • Weight trends, not daily noise Track your weight over time and see the bigger picture more clearly. • A target that adapts As you log calories and weight, Caligo calibrates your target over time based on your trend. • Less friction, more consistency The goal isn’t perfect tracking. It’s tracking you’ll actually stick to. Caligo is best for: • people who have tracked calories before • people who roughly know calorie values already • ex-trackers who quit because logging became a chore • anyone tired of bloated macro apps Caligo is probably not for: • people who want detailed nutrition breakdowns for everything • people who love barcode scanning and food databases • people looking for a macro-first bodybuilding app The idea is simple: rough + fast + consistent beats perfect + annoying. Download Caligo and make calorie tracking feel lighter.
