Meet the new Calometric: a beautifully rebuilt calorie and macro tracker that makes every meal easier to understand. Snap a meal, scan a barcode, speak, search, or read a nutrition label. Every result is a starting point you can review and edit before it reaches your food diary: foods, portions, servings, calories, carbs, protein, fat, and saturated fat when it is known. A FOOD DATABASE BUILT TO GROW Food search is now powered by a database that is 10Γ bigger and still growing, so more foods are ready when you need them. Search for one food or type a whole meal; Calometric can turn it into editable foods before you save. Recent Foods puts the custom foods you use at the top of search, and recently viewed catalog foods remain available when you are offline. FIVE WAYS TO LOG β’ Photo: Take a meal photo for an editable calorie and macro estimate. With your permission, Calometric sends a resized copy to cloud AI for analysis. β’ Barcode: Scan packaged food and look it up in the community-maintained Open Food Facts catalog. β’ Voice: Say what you ate with on-device transcription on supported devices and languages. β’ Search: Find, adjust, and log foods with the growing database and offline fallback. β’ Nutrition Label: Point your camera at a nutrition label to read calories and nutrients on your device. TURN DAILY LOGGING INTO A CLEARER PICTURE β’ Set calorie, macro, and saturated-fat goals β’ See progress at a glance and follow weekly trends β’ Save favorite meals, copy meals you eat often, and reuse your own foods β’ Create a nutrition report for any date range, then preview, print, or share the PDF β’ Keep unknown saturated-fat values unknown instead of treating them as zero CALOMETRIC ON IPHONE AND APPLE WATCH The refreshed Dashboard puts every way to log in one place, with larger controls and text that follows your Dynamic Type size. On Apple Watch, Quick Add offers your own recent favorites and foods. Put calories, carbs, protein, fat, or saturated fat on your watch face, then keep your day moving. ONE PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION Your purchase unlocks the whole app with no subscription: every way to log, your full history, goals, reports, widgets, and the Apple Watch app. It also includes 100 photo scans that never expire. Only photo scans use a scan. Barcode, voice, search, and nutrition-label logging never do. When you want more photo scans, optional 100-scan packs are available in the app. Photo scanning allows up to 20 scans per day. YOUR CHOICES, CLEARLY EXPLAINED β’ No Calometric account or login required β’ Voice transcription and nutrition-label reading run on your device β’ Photo analysis processes content in the cloud only after separate permission β’ Barcode lookups contact Open Food Facts β’ Meal-history sync through your private iCloud database and Apple Health sync are optional Privacy Policy: https://calometric.app/privacy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Snap.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SelfInsight at Free against Calometric's $14.99. SelfInsight also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Calometric's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks) and chart position (#200 vs unranked). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
