Onboarding calculates your personal daily goal. โ€ข Barcode scan โ€“ scan a product, pick a portion, done. Data from Open Food Facts, cached locally (second scan works offline). โ€ข Photo scan (AI) โ€“ 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).

Knabberfuchs is a calorie tracker that respects you: no ads, no subscriptions, no popups, no account. Just a fast, honest tool for logging what you eat โ€” and your data stays on your phone. Built because every popular tracker nags with paywalls. This one doesn't, and it never will. WHAT YOU CAN DO โ€ข Scan barcodes โ€” instant nutrition from Open Food Facts. Not in the database? Add it yourself by scanning the label, and it's saved for next time. โ€ข Search fast, offline โ€” Open Food Facts plus the curated Swiss Food Composition Database, with your own custom foods alongside. โ€ข Quick add โ€” already know the number? Log "Lasagna ยท 816 kcal" in a couple of taps. โ€ข Snap a meal โ€” AI meal recognition estimates the dish and portion. It runs on-device by default (no account, no cloud). Optionally add your own Google Gemini key for sharper results with full macros. โ€ข Meal from a photo โ€” photograph a printed ingredient list and on-device text recognition turns it into a meal to log. โ€ข Recipes โ€” build a recipe once, then log a portion to any day; it's broken back into its real ingredients. Share by QR code or image, import by QR or text. โ€ข Day by day โ€” meals group automatically as you add them, with a running total and macros. โ€ข Per-weekday targets โ€” set a minimum, a maximum, or both. Training days can differ from rest days. โ€ข Offline, worldwide โ€” download any of 106 country databases and search with no connection. โ€ข Apple Health โ€” optional, write-only sync of your calories and macros. โ€ข Backup & restore โ€” export everything to a ZIP (JSON + CSV) and restore it any time. No cloud, no lock-in. MULTILINGUAL Available in English, German, French and Italian. PRIVACY BY DESIGN There are no accounts, no analytics, no ads, and no trackers. We don't run a server and we never see your data. The only thing that ever leaves your phone is an optional Gemini meal photo โ€” and only if you set up your own key. Everything else is on-device. Food data: Open Food Facts (ODbL) and the Swiss Food Composition Database (FSVO). On-device meal recognition uses the Google AIY food model, bundled and run locally. Made in Switzerland.
