Science-backed glycemic index and load tracker built on the University of Sydney GI database — the gold standard in glycemic research. Scan any meal with AI, see portion-accurate GL instantly, and make smarter food choices every day. SEARCH 4,200+ FOODS The largest glycemic index database in any mobile app, sourced from peer-reviewed research. Every food shows GI, GL, serving size, and full nutrition facts. Search is instant and accurate — type "egg" and get eggs, not egg salad. SCAN YOUR MEALS WITH AI Point your camera at any plate. Our AI identifies every item, estimates portions, and calculates the total glycemic load in seconds. Edit any item, adjust portions, and watch GL recalculate in real-time. Works with home-cooked meals, restaurant plates, and packaged foods. PORTION-ACCURATE GLYCEMIC LOAD Other apps show the same GL whether you eat 50g or 500g. We recalculate GL, calories, and carbs the moment you move the portion slider. Because 100g of rice and 300g of rice are very different meals. DAILY FOOD DIARY Log breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. See your daily glycemic load fill up against a personalized target. A color-coded calendar shows green days (within target), amber (close), and red (over) at a glance. SMART FOOD SWAPS High-GI food detected? We show alternatives that lower your glucose impact. White rice (GI 73) becomes brown rice (GI 50), quinoa (GI 52), or bulgur (GI 48) — with the exact GL difference shown. BARCODE SCANNER Scan any packaged food for instant nutrition facts and estimated glycemic impact. Powered by Open Food Facts, the world's largest open food database. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS See trends over days and weeks. Spot patterns between what you eat and how your glycemic load changes. Export reports to share with your doctor or dietitian. WHO IS THIS FOR People managing type 2 diabetes or prediabetes who want to understand how food affects blood sugar. Anyone following a low-GI diet for weight management, PCOS, gestational diabetes, or general wellness. Athletes and health-conscious individuals optimizing energy and performance through smarter carb choices.

Repdex
Read full descriptionHide full description
Repdex is a gym notebook that works the way training actually works: look something up, write down what you lifted, close the app. Twenty times a session, ten seconds at a time. Everything you log lives on the device. No account, no sign-up - the whole catalogue ships inside the app, so it works in a basement gym with no signal. 1324 EXERCISES, ALL OFFLINE Every exercise comes with an animation, a thumbnail, and step-by-step instructions in 10 languages. Filter by body part, equipment, or target muscle, or search all 1324 at once. BUILT TO BE USED MID-SET Weight and reps are editable right on the workout screen, with no second page to drill into. Tick a set and the rest timer rises on its own. Every figure is tabular, so the timer never shifts as it counts down. A DARK MODE MADE FOR THE GYM FLOOR Not a recolour. In the dark the readouts get larger and heavier, because dark mode is what you use when the phone is sitting on the rack an arm's length away. ROUTINES ALREADY WAITING Answer four questions on first launch and your split is there: push, pull, legs, upper, with sets and starting weights matched to how long you have been training. WHAT YOU TRACK Volume, duration, completed sets. An eight-week chart. Personal records per exercise. Consecutive weeks rather than consecutive days, because training is supposed to have rest days in it. FREE, ALWAYS All 1324 exercises. All 10 instruction languages. Unlimited workout logging. Your history is never locked, subscription or not. No weight tracking. No body fat. No calories. No meal plans. It is a training log. —————— Repdex Pro (auto-renewing subscription) A subscription unlocks unlimited routines, advanced stats, CSV data export and home-screen widgets: • Monthly plan — billed every 1 month • Yearly plan — billed every 1 year • Lifetime — a one-time purchase, not a subscription The yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. The exact price is shown on the purchase screen before you confirm. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your App Store account settings.
