Calorithm — Log and Review Your Calorie Balance and Weight Calorithm shows your calorie balance, the difference between what you eat and what you burn, by day, week, month, quarter, and year, from your meal, exercise, and weight records and Apple Health data. Logging and basic summaries are free. See Your Calorie Balance in Charts See calorie balance, intake and expenditure, weight, body fat, PFC, salt equivalent, steps, sleep, and water in daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly charts, alongside the goals you set. Choose and reorder the cards you want to see. Auto-Synced with Apple Health Active energy, resting energy, weight, and body fat percentage are pulled from Apple Health each time you open the app. Steps, sleep, and water are read only if you allow it and are never written. Today's steps and last night's sleep are shown in the app and used in trend charts and Reports. The Water card shows how much you drank. Log Meals and Exercise Enter food names and calories by hand, or save meals and exercises you log often. You can also estimate calories with AI from a food name or a photo, and adjust the result with comments like "large size" or "extra cheese." Active energy for exercise can be estimated from its name and duration. Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Reports Reports summarize your records for each period without using AI. To look deeper, carry a report into Ask. Ask About Your Records Ask questions about your meals and exercise with record-aware AI consultation.

About

SugroLy

Features
Read full description

SugroLy helps you understand the meals, carbohydrates, insulin entries, and pre/post-meal glucose readings you choose to log. It turns your history into descriptive charts and summaries that make trends, repeated responses, variability, and evidence quality easier to review. With SugroLy you can: • Log meals, carbohydrates, insulin entries, and linked glucose readings. • Review average post-meal change and how often larger rises appear. • Explore food and carbohydrate patterns across clear time windows. • Compare similar meals and see how much evidence supports a pattern. • Read weekly and monthly reviews generated from your own log. • Export, back up, and restore your data. Privacy is part of the design: health entries are stored primarily on your device. Health integration is optional. The app may use Google AdMob in limited cases such as an optional rewarded ad; SugroLy does not send the content of your glucose, meal, or insulin entries to AdMob. SugroLy is a descriptive log-analysis tool. It is not a medical device and does not provide diagnosis, treatment, or insulin dosing recommendations. Discuss medical decisions with a qualified healthcare professional.
