ChompChart
Read full descriptionHide full description
ChompChart is a calorie and macro tracker that refuses to lock your own goals behind a subscription. Most trackers charge you to change your protein target. ChompChart doesn't ā editable calorie and macro goals are free, forever. Log food the way that fits the moment: ⢠Scan a barcode ā 3M+ products from the Open Food Facts catalog, with USDA generic foods as a fallback. ⢠Search a huge food database for anything without a barcode. ⢠Add it manually in seconds, by servings, grams, or ounces. ⢠Snap a photo of your plate and let AI estimate the calories and macros. ⢠Just say what you ate ā "two eggs, sourdough, and a black coffee" ā and it's transcribed, parsed, and logged. Built around your goals: ⢠Editable daily calorie and macro targets ā always free. ⢠Smart goal setup: enter your stats and ChompChart estimates your calories, macros, and a realistic goal date ā adjust the date and recalculate anytime. ⢠A clean Today screen with a calorie ring, macro bars, and a weigh-in card. ⢠A diary that groups each day by meal ā breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks ā with per-meal calories and macros; edit or delete any entry, with a logging streak. ⢠Weight tracking with a trend chart, written back to Apple Health. ⢠Insights: see your average intake vs. goal over 7, 30, or 90 days (incomplete days don't skew the numbers). ⢠Optional water logging, favorites, recents, recipes, and saved meals. ⢠A Today-at-a-glance home screen widget. Apple Health, done right: ⢠Reads your steps, workouts, and active energy to show the full picture. ⢠Optionally adds a chosen percentage of your WORKOUT calories back to your budget ā not inflated daily-activity numbers. ⢠Writes the nutrition and weight you log back to Apple Health so your whole health story stays in one place. ⢠Import your existing weight and nutrition history from Apple Health, or from a CSV exported by another app. Private by design: ⢠Your log syncs through YOUR private iCloud (CloudKit) ā not our servers. ⢠Sign in with Apple is optional and used only for sync. ⢠No ads. No third-party analytics. No tracking. Ever. Free vs. ChompChart Plus: Core tracking is free forever ā editable goals, barcode scanning, search, manual logging, Apple Health sync, weight tracking, insights, and the widget. ChompChart Plus unlocks AI photo logging and AI voice logging ā the features that actually cost us to run. Requires iPhone on iOS 18 or later. Nutrition estimates from AI and databases are approximate and not medical advice. Nutrition data Ā© Open Food Facts contributors (ODbL). Generic foods from USDA FoodData Central.
