The calorie tracker for people who hate calorie tracking. Most apps make you search a database, scan barcodes, and weigh your food to the gram. Roundful throws all of that out. Everything is circles — about 100 kcal each. A burger is roughly 5 circles, a salad about 2. You glance, estimate, and tap. That's the whole app. WHY ROUNDFUL • No food database — nothing to search, nothing to scan • No weighing, no barcodes, no decimals • No account required — open it and start logging • Your data stays private — on your device and in your own iCloud • No guilt-trip notifications, no streak-shaming HOW IT WORKS Think in circles. One circle ≈ 100 kcal. Tap to add what you ate, tap to take it back. A built-in reference guide gives you circle estimates for everyday foods, so you're never guessing from zero. Connect Apple Health and your workouts add circles back, so the day balances on its own. New: just ask Siri to log a meal or check how many circles you have left — no need to open the app. PERFECT FOR • Anyone who quit fussy calorie apps because tracking felt like a part-time job • People who want a gentle, lowkey awareness — not obsessive precision • Intuitive and mindful eaters who still want a rough daily picture • Busy people who'll actually keep a 5-second log going FREE TO USE Logging, the reference guide, and Apple Health workouts are free. Optional Premium adds an expanded insights library, custom nudges, and a month overview. Being roughly right every day beats being exactly right on the days you bother. Eat by the circle.
