Read full descriptionHide full description
Arovya helps you understand what's in your food and supplements, one scan at a time. SCAN ANY FOOD PRODUCT Point your camera at any barcode for an instant health score, a full ingredient breakdown, and clear nutrition facts. Powered by the Open Food Facts database, with AI label analysis for products that aren't found. SEE EXACTLY HOW IT SCORED Every score comes with a plain-language breakdown. "Why this score?" shows you whether nutrition, processing level, or ingredients is driving the number — no black box, just the factors and figures behind every result. KNOW WHAT'S NOT FOR YOU Set your allergies and diet once, and Arovya checks every scan against them. When a product contains something you avoid, you'll see a clear "not for you" warning right on the result — not buried in the ingredient list. Safety checks are always free. EVERY INGREDIENT, GRADED Arovya reads the ingredient list and grades each one on its own merit — genuinely good for you, questionable, or best avoided — in the order they're declared on the pack. And when we can't recognise an ingredient, we tell you, rather than guessing. KNOW YOUR NUTRITION See sugar, salt, saturated fat, fibre, and protein at a glance, with proper credit for whole foods like wholegrains, fibre, and protein. FREE SUPPLEMENT SUGGESTIONS Get personalised supplement recommendations matched to your goals, diet, and the gaps in your routine — free, in the Supplements tab. TRACK YOUR SUPPLEMENTS Log what you take each day and build a picture of your routine. Arovya tracks your adherence over time and helps you spot gaps and stay consistent. PRO: DEEPER INSIGHTS Upgrade to Pro to unlock the Insights dashboard — how your scans have scored over time, what you scan most and buy again, supplement priority rankings, overlap detection across your stack, and dosage safety checks. Educational guidance only. Arovya's scores are educational guides, not health or medical advice, and ingredient and nutrition data may contain errors. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical or dietary decisions.

Snap a photo of any meal — Lean's AI counts the calories and macros in seconds. No searching food databases, no weighing, no barcodes, no typing. Then Lean goes further than any calorie counter: it explains WHY your weight changes — not just that it did. And you can ask it anything. HOW IT WORKS • Point your camera at your plate → AI estimates calories, protein, carbs & fat • One tap logs it to your daily calorie budget • Step on the scale each morning and log your weight in 10 seconds • Lean syncs your steps, sleep and burned calories from Apple Health automatically • Your AI coach connects the dots: "You're up 0.4 kg, but you slept 5 hours and had 3,100 mg extra sodium — that's water, not fat." • Ask your coach a question any day — "why am I stalling?", "what should I eat tonight?" — and get an answer built from your real numbers WHY LEAN WORKS Most apps show you numbers. Lean interprets them. Weight fluctuates daily for reasons that have nothing to do with fat — Lean's coach knows your sleep, steps and meals, so it can tell the difference and keep you steady through plateaus. Setup takes two minutes and asks what actually trips you up — cravings, late-night eating, diets that didn't stick before — so your plan fits your life from day one. STAY ACCOUNTABLE Invite a friend to Lean, cheer each other on, and join community challenges for streaks, steps and consistency. Streak Shield covers a day you miss, so one slip doesn't undo weeks of progress. APPLE WATCH & SIRI • A full Apple Watch app: calories left at a glance, your usual meals in one tap, water and a fasting timer • Complications and Smart Stack widgets for calories, your fast, water and your streak • Say "Log a meal in Lean" to Siri, then just say what you ate • Your fast runs live on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island FREE FOREVER • Daily weight log, trend charts & streaks • Apple Health sync • 2 AI meal scans every day • One AI coach question every day • A fresh AI insight every week, built from your own data • Today's meals from your personalised plan • CSV export & daily reminder LEAN PRO • Unlimited AI meal scans • A personalised AI insight every morning — not once a week • Unlimited coach chat • A full 7-day meal plan and shopping list, built around your allergies and taste • Plateau detection with AI diagnosis • Pace coaching and a forecast to your goal date • 7-day moving average and body-fat estimate Your health data stays yours. Lean never sells your data and never shows ads. The AI coach runs on-device with Apple Intelligence where available. Lean Pro is available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription. The yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account. Subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period.
