About

Nomzy

Read full description

Nomzy is the AI calorie tracker that gets smarter with you — because you can fix any estimate with a tap, and Nomzy remembers. Snap a photo of any meal. In about 2 seconds you get a calorie and macro breakdown. If the numbers are off, tap any item and correct it — that correction sticks. Next time you log the same food, Nomzy already knows what you told it. No calorie app does this quite the same way, and every correction makes it more personally accurate. LOG HOW YOU WANT Snap a photo when it's easy. Type or describe a meal when it isn't. Both flow into the same daily log — no mode-switching, no friction. TAP TO CORRECT Estimates are honest guesses, not gospel. Tap any item, enter the real numbers, and done. Corrections update your running totals right away and shape every future scan of that food. CALORIES & MACROS AT A GLANCE Daily totals for calories, protein, carbs, and fat — the four numbers most people actually care about, displayed cleanly in a ring and bar view. WATER TRACKER Log water intake alongside your meals with a simple one-tap counter. BARCODE SCAN Packaged food? Scan the barcode and get exact nutrition straight from the label. When a code isn't found, the AI picks up the description path automatically. APPLE HEALTH SYNC Meals log to Apple Health automatically. Pull in your active energy for a more accurate burn estimate. Toggle it off anytime in Settings. STREAKS WITHOUT PRESSURE A streak that doesn't punish you: 5 out of 7 days keeps the flame, and one missed day never breaks a week. Tracking should feel encouraging, not stressful. WIDGET & REMINDERS A home-screen widget shows today's ring at a glance. Optional meal-time reminders — never nagging, always opt-in. HISTORY Browse your log by day and look back over your full history and trends. SHAREABLE SCAN CARD After a photo scan, share a branded card of the meal with one tap. Great for content — photos are never stored on our servers. HONEST PRICING Nomzy Premium unlocks everything: photo and text logging, fixes that stick, and your full history and trends. Your first meal is on us. New subscribers start with a 3-day free trial, the price is shown before you confirm, and you can cancel anytime in your App Store settings. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Your log lives on your device and syncs privately through your own iCloud. Photos are never stored on our servers or used to train anything. No account required. WELLNESS, NOT RULES Nomzy is an awareness tool, not a judge. No calorie policing, no shame copy, no guilt nudges — just honest numbers when you want them. — Nomzy Premium subscription ($4.99/week or $29.99/year; new subscribers get a 3-day free trial) auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. Terms: https://ferahlabs.com/nomzy/terms Privacy: https://ferahlabs.com/nomzy/privacy
