Snap a photo. Get your macros. Done. BiteVu is an AI macro and calorie tracker that reads your meals from a photo — point your camera and get protein, carbs, fat, and calories in seconds. No measuring cups, no database digging, no typing it all in by hand. Whatever you're after — more protein, fewer calories, or just a clear picture of what you eat — BiteVu meets you there. Meet Vu, your one-eyed orange sidekick who makes tracking fast, smart, and judgment-free. Scan a barcode. Packaged food? Point at the barcode and pull its nutrition from a global food database — fast logging, no typing. Help the AI get it right. Tell Vu if a meal's homemade or from a restaurant, a large or small portion, or add a quick note. Smarter results, your call. Chat with Vu, your AI nutrition coach. Ask about your day, your protein, or what to eat next. Warm, a little cheeky, never preachy. Targets that fit you. Personalized daily macro and calorie goals built around your body and how you actually live — macros first, protein primary. Build a streak that fits real life. BiteVu rewards consistency, not restriction — staying close to your daily targets, not starving to hit a number. See your progress. Track your weight over time and read your trends in a clean, readable dashboard. Speaks your language. Use BiteVu in 10 languages — English, Turkish, German, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), French, Italian, Azerbaijani, Russian, and Ukrainian — with food suggestions that fit where you are in the world. No diet culture here A lot of trackers come loaded with points, penalties, and "cheat days" — the quiet sense that you've been bad. BiteVu skips it. Track for your goals, not someone else's rules. Food is fuel, food is pleasure, food is culture, and Vu's here to help you see it clearly — never to make you feel guilty about lunch. — Subscription & pricing BiteVu is a subscription app. A 7-day free trial is available for new subscribers, after which a paid auto-renewable subscription is required to continue using BiteVu's features. Choose the plan that fits you — weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly.
