About

Caleo

Read full description

Caleo is your camera-first AI wellness companion. Point your phone at a meal and Caleo logs the calories, macros, and micros in seconds. Speak a meal out loud and Caleo transcribes it. Then it pulls patterns out of your sleep, mood, training, and fuel so the day's next-best step is always specific to you — not someone else's plan. The app you'll actually keep using Most logging apps die on day three because the friction is too high. Caleo is built around a different idea: if logging takes five seconds, you'll do it. So the camera is the front door, the voice button is one tap away, and the food database does the work in the background. What you can do for free • Log meals manually with full macro and micro tracking • Scan barcodes for packaged foods • Track weight, body measurements, sleep, mood, water, habits, and your cycle • Bidirectional Apple Health sync — your data flows both ways • Activity logging across 25+ exercise types with calorie estimates • Daily journal, breathwork, and meditation tools • Streaks, dashboards, and a full week of charts • A static catalogue of daily wellness "orbs" across seven life dimensions: energy, mood, focus, calm, fuel, movement, rest Caleo Pro unlocks the AI • Unlimited camera meal scanning — point, shoot, log • Voice food logging — describe what you ate, hands-free • Daily AI-personalised orbs that read your sleep, training, and nutrition data and suggest the next-best action across all seven dimensions • Cycle-aware coaching — training, fuel, and recovery tailored to your phase • Weekly correlation insights that surface patterns in plain language • AI nutrition tips drawn from your recent meals • Full JSON data export — your history, anytime Privacy that actually means something Your data lives in your account, encrypted in transit and at rest. Caleo never sells your data, never shares it with advertisers, and never trains AI models on your personal information. Every AI feature runs through a server-side proxy so your meal photos and voice clips never reach a third party untagged — only Caleo sees them, and only to give you back a result. Built for the long haul Consistency beats intensity. The biggest predictor of progress isn't the perfect plan — it's logging four or more days a week, every week. Caleo is designed to make that possible: fast logging, gentle nudges, and a practice that fits the days you don't feel like it. Subscription details Caleo Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. • Pro Monthly — US$9.99/month with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers • Pro Annual — US$59.99/year with a 14-day free trial (about 50% off the monthly rate) Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. You can manage and cancel your subscription anytime in your Apple ID account settings — no need to contact us.
