Snap a photo of your meal and Kilo's AI estimates the calories, protein, carbs and fat in seconds. No food scale, no barcode scanning, no searching through endless food lists. Counting calories works. Logging every bite by hand is what makes people quit. Kilo turns food tracking into a two-minute daily habit, so you can stay in a calorie deficit, build muscle or maintain your weight without the busywork. HOW IT WORKS 1. Take a photo of your plate, or type or say what you ate. 2. AI recognizes the food, estimates the portion and calculates calories and macros. 3. Everything is added to your food diary automatically. WHY KILO • AI photo food scanner: Point, shoot, done. Kilo identifies what's on your plate and estimates how much is there. • Ingredient-level breakdown: See calories for every part of your meal, with portions in everyday measures like a handful or a tablespoon. • Describe it instead: No photo? Type or dictate your meal and let AI do the math. • Macro tracking: Follow protein, carbs and fat alongside calories, with a daily target for each. • Personal calorie goal: Choose to lose weight, build muscle or stay fit, and get daily calorie and macro targets built for you. • Calorie deficit at a glance: See how many calories you have left today, updated as you log. • Apple Health integration: Calories burned from steps and workouts are added automatically. • Water and exercise log: Track water intake and workouts in the same app. • Progress charts and streaks: Follow your weight trend over 90 days, 6 months or a year, and keep your streak going. PREMIUM • Unlimited AI photo analysis • Advanced progress reports and charts • Ad-free experience • Full access to all features Start free and upgrade to Premium whenever you're ready.

The call
