Calnue is a calorie counter and food diary for tracking daily calorie intake, meals and workouts. Set a daily calorie goal, log food manually and see your calorie balance over time. Log food offline, with no account required. LOG IN SECONDS ⢠Quick manual entry: calories, meal, source, notes and tags ⢠Meals and workouts in one log ⢠Smart defaults pick the right meal from the time of day ⢠Reuse tags like "office lunch" or "home cooked" to spot patterns SEE HONEST TRENDS ⢠Today at a glance: intake, burned and kcal left toward your goal ⢠Daily, weekly and monthly trend charts with your goal line ⢠Month report: goal adherence, streaks, highest and lightest days, weekday averages ⢠A friendly mascot that cheers you on and never guilt-trips you YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS ⢠Everything lives on your device and, when iCloud is on, in your private iCloud database ⢠No Calnue account, no server, no data sold. Your log is not the product ⢠Export your full history as CSV or JSON anytime ⢠Import a JSON export to restore your log or move it from another phone ⢠Erase all data whenever you want FITS YOUR LIFE ⢠Apple Health workout import: workouts appear in your log automatically ⢠Home screen widget shows today's progress at a glance ⢠Spotlight search finds your entries from anywhere ⢠A daily reminder so logging becomes a habit ⢠Works with VoiceOver, larger text and Increase Contrast ⢠Light and dark appearance WHY MANUAL LOGGING? Because awareness is the habit. Typing "640" for that rice bowl takes three seconds, keeps you honest, and works for every cuisine. No barcode database gaps, no photo AI guessing wrong. Calnue gets out of your way and lets the habit do the work. A small banner ad keeps Calnue free. Your log data is never shared with advertisers. Start today: set a goal, log your next meal, and watch an honest picture of your eating build itself, calmly.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Calorie Note at none against Calnue's shown. Calorie Note also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
