Nutraxis is the AI coach that stays with you until you reach your goal — not just a calorie counter, a partner that actually looks at your real numbers and tells you what to do next. SCAN, DON'T TYPE Point your camera at any meal and Nutraxis identifies what's on your plate, estimates portions, and logs real calories and macros in seconds. Prefer to talk instead? Just say what you ate. Scanning a barcode or searching manually works too — log however fits the moment. A MEAL PLAN BUILT AROUND YOU Tap once and get a full day of meals — breakfast to snack — generated around your real calorie and macro targets, not a generic template. Don't like a suggestion? Swap just that one meal without regenerating your whole day. A COACH THAT KNOWS YOUR ACTUAL DAY Ask Nutraxis anything and get advice grounded in what you've actually logged today — your hydration, your remaining calories, whether you've worked out — not a canned response. It's honest when it doesn't know something, and it never invents numbers. TRAINING THAT ADAPTS Get a weekly workout plan tailored to your goals and equipment, with recovery days built in. Short on time? Jump into an Express Workout — no equipment needed. Steps and activity sync automatically from Apple Health. HYDRATION THAT DOESN'T NAG Track water with a tap, set your own glass size, and get a gentle nudge only when you're genuinely behind pace — not constant reminders. PROGRESS YOU CAN TRUST Real weight trends, weekly and monthly reflections written around your actual data, and a streak that reflects what you really did — not a vanity number. NUTRAXIS PREMIUM Unlock AI coaching conversations, personalized meal plans, and full weekly and monthly progress reflections. Nutraxis provides general wellness and nutrition guidance — not medical advice. Always consult a healthcare professional for decisions about your health, diet, or treatment. Nutraxis offers optional auto-renewable subscriptions that unlock additional features such as advanced AI nutrition analysis and enhanced insights.

Know what your diet is missing—and what to eat next. Snap each meal and see how it contributes to your nutrient goals. Based tracks 20+ nutrients, shows where your logged intake falls short, and helps you find foods to fill those gaps. Follow your progress across days, weeks and months to see which gaps keep coming back. SNAP EACH MEAL Take a photo or describe what you ate. Review the foods and estimated portions before you log. Save time with meals you eat often. SEE WHERE YOU STAND Track protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and essential fats against your personal targets. See your daily nutrition score, choose your focus nutrients, and look closer at what each meal adds. ASK WHAT TO EAT NEXT Your AI nutrition coach uses your logged meals, nutrient gaps and dietary preferences to suggest meals and snacks. Ask for something quick, something savory, or an idea using what you have. Keep the conversation going until you find something you want to eat. SPOT GAPS EARLY Look back over days, weeks and months to find patterns in your intake. See which goals you regularly reach and which nutrients need more attention, then plan your next meals with those gaps in mind. MAKE IT PERSONAL Set targets using your profile and activity level. Keep your dietary preferences and food avoidances up to date so food suggestions fit the way you eat. SHARE WHAT YOU ATE Turn your meal photo into a shareable nutrition sticker, or share your daily and weekly progress. Show your food and the nutrients it contributed. ABOUT NUTRITION ESTIMATES Photo scans estimate ingredients and portions; they do not measure food or diagnose nutrient deficiencies. Review results before logging. Nutrient data availability varies by food, and some values are estimates. Based provides general nutrition information, not medical diagnosis or treatment. SUBSCRIPTIONS An active subscription is required for food scanning and the AI coach. Plans, local prices and any eligible introductory offers appear in the app before purchase. Trial eligibility varies. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at purchase confirmation or after an eligible free trial ends. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel your subscription in App Store account settings.
