Caltopia is a private, offline calorie tracker, macro counter, and food diary — with an on-device AI coach, voice logging, intermittent fasting, and GLP-1 tracking built in. Try everything free for 7 days, then $1.99/month — or pay once ($20) and own it for life. No ads, no accounts, no third-party cloud. Your data stays on your phone. 48,000 FOODS, OFFLINE A USDA + branded-foods database downloads on first launch (~4 MB). After that, search, logging, and charts all work with no internet — on a flight, in the gym, anywhere. LOG A MEAL FIVE WAYS • Barcode scan for packaged food • Voice: "two eggs and a slice of toast" — parsed on-device • Photo of your meal — on-device AI suggests it • Nutrition-label OCR • One tap on a recent food Food data: USDA (public domain, bundled offline) + Open Food Facts. ON-DEVICE AI COACH Ask about your own log — "how much protein did I average?" — and get answers from your data (observations, never medical advice). Say what's in your fridge and get a recipe you can log or save. Uses Apple Intelligence where available, a built-in offline cookbook everywhere else. VOICE LOGGING Tap the mic or the Home Screen widget and just talk. It understands quantities and units — even "a beef stick, 100 calories." Your voice never leaves the phone. INTERMITTENT FASTING A live fasting timer in your calorie ring and on the Lock Screen (Dynamic Island). 16:8, 18:6, 20:4, OMAD, or any custom target, with trends and weekly summaries. TRACK WHAT MATTERS TO YOU Workouts, blood glucose, and GLP-1 (doses, injection-site rotation, side effects) — all user-entered, no medical advice. Build your own recipes and plan meals ahead. ADAPTIVE TARGETS Start with Mifflin–St Jeor BMR + activity multipliers. Turn on Adaptive TDEE and Caltopia learns your real calorie burn from your logs and weight trend, adjusting targets automatically. Pick a goal: lose, maintain, gain, or recomp. INSIGHTS & WIDGETS A 13-week logging heatmap, calorie/macro/water/weight trend charts, and weekly summaries. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for calories, macros, water, fasting, and your streak. STAY MOTIVATED 60 achievements, weekly quests, daily challenges, streaks, XP, and levels — fun on top of the data, not in place of it. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No login. No analytics or ad trackers. Data is stored locally with Apple's SwiftData. Optional backup goes only to your own private iCloud, never our servers. Two-way Apple Health sync. Full Excel export and re-import anytime. PRICING & FREE TRIAL Start with a 7-day free trial — every feature unlocked. Then Caltopia Pro is $1.99/month, or unlock for life with a single $20 purchase. The monthly plan auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings. Lifetime is a one-time purchase, no recurring charges.

Most fasting apps want a subscription, an account, and your data. Intermittently wants none of that. The whole tracker is free. Start and stop with one tap, keep your streaks, and see honest stats — and it works fully offline, syncing only to your own iCloud, which we never see. It won't coach you, guilt you, nag you, or upsell you. No subscription. The entire fasting tool is free, forever. No account. Nothing to create, nothing to log into. No coaching. It observes your data; it never advises, diagnoses, or claims a fast caused an outcome. No guilt. Missing a goal is neutral — no shaming words, no warning-red "you failed." No ads, no tracking, no data harvesting. Your data is yours. We see none of it. What it does, simply: Pick a fasting rhythm, tap start, tap stop. See when a fast will finish before you commit to it, with a live projected end-time. Keep your streaks and read honest stats that observe your patterns without ever editorializing them. Forgot to start on time, or forgot to log a fast entirely? Fix the start, or add it after the fact — the app re-derives everything cleanly. Set per-weekday schedules if your week has a rhythm. Glance at a fast from your wrist with a first-class Apple Watch app and complications, or from Home- and Lock-Screen widgets. Your weight and trend (optionally) come straight from Apple Health, so you never re-enter them. Your data is yours to take, any time, with free CSV and JSON export. Set your fasting goals, then go achieve them. The one optional money moment is a single one-time unlock — once, never a subscription — that adds cosmetic themes, a deeper insights panel, and a quiet "I supported the developer" acknowledgment. Nothing that gates functionality.
