SwoleX is the workout app built for lifters who actually show up. Log your training, share it to your feed, and watch others hit your exact routine — with weights automatically scaled to their own history. That's the SwoleX loop: post a workout, someone taps DO WORKOUT, and they're training your program in seconds. TRACK EVERY LIFT Log sets, reps, and weight with a clean, fast interface built for use between sets — not after the gym. Your history builds automatically into a personal performance record with streaks, PRs, and volume charts. EAT LIKE YOU TRAIN Log food in seconds — search the food library or pull from your saved My Foods. Pick a diet style — Balanced, High Protein, Keto, Low Carb, Mediterranean, Endurance, or Zone — add your goal and activity level, and SwoleX sets your daily calorie and macro targets for you. Pro adds barcode scanning and describe-a-meal AI that breaks down the macros for you. MEAL PLANS BUILT AROUND YOUR MACROS Tell Kevin your diet style and the foods you actually eat, choose which meals to plan — even just dinner — and get a multi-day plan with a grocery list in real shopping quantities: a dozen eggs, a pint of berries, 3.5 lb of chicken. Adjust any portion, then log a single item, a whole meal, or the whole day. Export any plan as a clean PDF to print or share. TRAIN WITH KEVIN — YOUR AI STRENGTH COACH Tap TRAIN WITH KEVIN and he assembles a session tailored to your training history, goals, and how you're feeling that day. Every set is pre-scaled to your actual strength — no guessing, no math. ASK KEVIN — AND GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER Kevin reads your log, so ask him about it. "Why has my incline bench gone backwards?" He checks your real sets, your weekly volume and your gym's equipment, then answers with the numbers in front of him — and if the fix is a whole day, he builds it on the spot. DO WORKOUTS FROM THE FEED Every post in SwoleX is executable. See a chest day you like? Tap DO WORKOUT and run it yourself — weights automatically adjust to your level. Your results link back to the original, giving the creator credit and building their following. LIFT TOGETHER, LIVE Training with someone? Start a live session and invite them. You each run the same workout with weights scaled to your own strength, so you're on the same exercise without lifting the same numbers. Watch each other's sets land live, and finish on a shared recap crediting everyone. PROGRAMS & PREMIUM CONTENT Browse structured programs from coaches and top creators. Follow a 5-day split, an 8-week strength block, or a conditioning circuit — and execute every session directly from the app. SHARE YOUR WINS Auto-generated share cards let you blast your completed workouts to Instagram Stories, TikTok, and Snapchat. Every post drives new users back into the app. FREE — NO CREDIT CARD NEEDED • Unlimited workout logging • Full exercise library • Workout history, PRs, and volume charts • Food logging & saved My Foods library • Daily calorie and macro targets • Automatic Google Drive backup • Social feed + DO WORKOUT from any post • Live workouts with friends — real-time sets, shared recap • Rest timer • 1 AI use per week — Kevin workout or AI-parsed log SWOLEX PRO — $9.99/month or $79.99/year • Unlimited AI — Kevin workouts & AI-parsed logs • Ask Kevin — chat about your training; he reads your log and builds the fix • Barcode scanning & describe-a-meal AI food logging • Kevin-built meal plans with grocery lists • Kevin's training analysis — calibration, momentum, and an action plan for the week ahead • Kevin scales every shared workout to your actual strength • Premium SwoleX programs • CSV data export Subscription auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

About

Menu Calorie Scanner

Features
Read full description

Point your camera at any restaurant menu and see the calories before you order — no typing, no guessing, no hunting through a food database dish by dish. Menu Scan reads the whole menu at once. It recognizes every dish on the page, then estimates calories, protein, carbs, and fat for each one and scores how healthy it is from 0 to 10. Instead of ordering blind and regretting it later, you get the full nutrition picture of the table in seconds — and it all runs on your device, so it works even with no signal in a crowded restaurant. WHAT YOU GET - Point-and-scan a printed menu and read every dish's nutrition at a glance - Calories plus protein, carbs, and fat estimated for each dish - A 0-to-10 health score so the smartest choice jumps out - Dietary flags for vegan, vegetarian, keto, paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, and halal - Compare two dishes side by side before you commit - A saved history of past scans plus favorites you can pull up any time PERFECT FOR - Anyone counting calories or macros who eats out and hates guessing - Keto, vegan, and gluten-free diners scanning menus for safe picks - Gym-goers protecting a protein target at restaurants - Travelers reading unfamiliar menus in a hurry WHY NOT JUST LOOK IT UP? Because typing every dish into a food-tracking app while your table waits is slow, and half the restaurant items aren't in the database anyway. Menu Scan reads the actual menu in front of you and gives you the numbers instantly — one scan, whole page. Values are smart estimates for general guidance, not exact medical figures. PRIVACY Scanning and text recognition happen entirely on your device. Your menus and scans stay on your phone — there is no account and nothing is uploaded to a server. FULL ACCESS Menu Scan is free to try with a daily scan limit. Unlock unlimited scans, the full insights dashboard, the weekly meal planner, unlimited saved history, and advanced dietary filters with Menu Scan Pro: - Weekly plan - Yearly plan - Lifetime (one-time purchase) Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled; manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings. Scan your next menu before you order and eat with the numbers in front of you.
