Satt is a free calorie tracker with no premium tier that does one thing excellently: tracking calories. No account, no ads, no tracking. Your data stays on your device – optionally backed up via your own iCloud. THREE WAYS TO LOG • Search & manual logging – the rock-solid foundation. Onboarding calculates your personal daily goal. • Barcode scan – scan a product, pick a portion, done. Data from Open Food Facts, cached locally (second scan works offline). • Photo scan (AI) – snap your plate and the AI estimates calories as a smart first draft. Always editable, with an honest confidence hint. THE CALORIE RING A big ring shows what's left of your daily goal at a glance. Meals, subtle macro bars, weekly stats and a weight trend. HONEST & HEALTHY No deficit pressure, no shaming mechanics, a safety floor for your daily goal. Satt is not a medical device and does not replace medical or nutritional advice. PRIVACY-FIRST No login, no premium, no ad or tracking SDKs. Apple Health optional. Export your data anytime as CSV/JSON or delete it completely. Product data from Open Food Facts (ODbL). SUPPORT THE DEVELOPER (OPTIONAL) Every feature is free.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: CalTrak at 4.9 against Satt's 2.0. CalTrak also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Satt's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
