Most people don't quit tracking calories because they stop caring — they quit because logging every meal is a chore. BiteKit removes the chore. Just tell BiteKit what you ate, the way you'd tell a friend: type it, say it out loud, or snap a photo. The AI works out the calories, protein, carbs and fat — including portion sizes and individual ingredients — and logs it in seconds. No database scrolling, no barcode hunting, no guessing. WHY BITEKIT FEELS DIFFERENT • Log in one sentence — "two eggs, sourdough toast and a cappuccino" is a complete food log • Snap a photo — BiteKit recognizes the meal and breaks it down ingredient by ingredient • Speak instead of type — perfect for logging on the go • Smart accuracy — BiteKit searches the web for real product and restaurant data, so estimates reflect what you actually ate • See your whole day at a glance — calories left, protein, carbs and fat on one clean dashboard • Edit meals by chatting — "make it a large portion" or "no dressing" updates the numbers instantly STAY ON TRACK, GENTLY • Daily targets tailored to you from a quick setup — no spreadsheet math • Weekly energy and macro charts help you spot patterns • Weight trend tracking with Apple Health sync • Streaks and progress views that encourage consistency, not perfection SYNC & BACKUP Sign in to securely back up your food diary and weight history and keep them in sync across your devices — so you never lose your progress. Your data is yours: we never sell it or share it. BiteKit provides nutrition estimates and general guidance, not medical advice. Ready to make tracking effortless?

Understand the calories in the food you actually eat — including the way you make it. Tell Circa what you ate — "two eggs, toast and a cup of tea" — or take a photo. You get one meal broken into its items, each with an estimated portion, calories, protein, carbs and fat. Circa shows you what it assumed. Less oil in your noodles? A smaller bowl of rice? Change the amount, see the difference, and save your version for next time. WHAT IT'S GOOD AT • Home cooking. The stew, the curry, the stir-fry — meals no packaged-food database knows. Describe them in the portions you use: a plate, a bowl, two rotis, a cup. • Restaurant and takeout meals. Describe your order and check what the estimate assumed. • Photos, when you'd rather not type. Take one or pick one from your library, then check the words Circa read from it before it estimates. • Being corrected. Change an amount, or say what was different — the ingredients or how it was cooked — and Circa estimates the meal again. • Honest uncertainty. Every number is an estimate and looks like one. Saving a meal doesn't turn it into a measurement. WHEN YOU'RE WORKING TOWARD SOMETHING • Lose fat, maintain or gain. Set a goal weight and see a steady path to it, with daily calories, protein, carbs and fat worked out for you. • Targets that show their working. Each number comes with the reason behind it and its sources, and nothing changes unless you change it. • Weigh-ins, typed or from Apple Health. See your weight over time against your goal, and how far there is to go. SAVED MEALS Your usual breakfast, your regular order, your own recipe. Save the corrected version with its items and assumptions, then log it again without starting over. ALSO • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with the calories left today. • Daily reminders at set times, or none at all. • Share any meal as an image. CIRCA PRO Estimating meals from text and photos needs Circa Pro, a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription. New subscribers may be offered a free trial. Pro includes up to 500 meal estimates a month, or 50 during the trial. Prices for your country are shown in the app before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it anytime in your Apple Account settings. Circa is for adults 18 and over. Nutrition figures are estimates for general guidance, not medical or dietary advice. Sources are listed in the app. Privacy Policy: https://ahmadtariq.co/apps/circa/privacy Terms of Service: https://ahmadtariq.co/apps/circa/terms Terms of Use (Apple standard EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
