Say what you ate. It's logged. Calorize is a calorie tracker with an AI assistant called Mira. No search, no forms — speak, type or point the camera, and the entry lands in your diary with calories and macros. WHAT MIRA DOES • Logs from plain speech — "eggs and coffee" goes into breakfast • Edits in the same chat — "remove the bread", "make it 400 g" • Copies meals — "same lunch as Monday" • Estimates the portion when you're vague • Learns your usual foods and portions from your own history YOUR DAY AND YOUR WEEK, READ BACK TO YOU Mira analyses what you actually ate and explains it: what's working, what's drifting, and the one change worth making. Supportive, never scolding. ALSO IN THE APP • Photo and barcode recognition • Recipe builder for your own dishes • Water, weight and body measurements • Workout log • Peptide protocols with a dose-to-syringe calculator ON YOUR APPLE WATCH • Watch app — tap, say what you ate, lower your wrist; it buzzes when the entry is in • Complications — today's calories on your watch face: circular, corner, inline or rectangular • Smart Stack — the same ring and count, one swipe from the watch face PLANS Free — the diary, the food database, recipes, and a starter allowance of Mira's chat.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SelfOS at none against Calorize's shown. Calorize's advantage is ratings volume (21 vs 3) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. SelfOS sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Calorize sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for SelfOS against 4.9 for Calorize. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calorize has 21 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
SelfOS ships an update every 2 weeks, Calorize every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
