Ore is the meal logger that finally fits how you actually eat. No scrolling through a food database. No hunting for the right "grilled chicken." Just tell Ore what you had — type a sentence, snap a photo, or say it out loud — and it estimates the calories and macros for you. Every estimate is yours to correct. Ore shows calories, protein, carbs, fat, and fiber for each item, and you can fix any number with a tap before you save. It's a smart starting point you control, not a black box. Built around a plan that's actually yours: • Tell Ore about you once — your body, your activity, and your goal — and it calculates a daily calorie and macro target, then shows how it arrived at your daily calorie budget. • Adjust any target. The plan is a proposal you can edit, not a verdict. • Watch your day fill in against your targets with a clean calorie ring, macro breakdown, and automatically calculated daily Fiber goal. Log a meal three ways: • Text — "two eggs, toast, and a flat white" becomes a logged meal in seconds. • Photo — snap your plate and Ore reads it into an editable draft. • Voice — say what you ate, hands-free, and review before it saves. More ways Ore keeps you honest and fast: • A multi-day diary so you can see patterns, not just today. • Restaurant meals broken into their parts, with numbers that match the menu. • Eating out? One tap adds the extra butter and oil restaurants use. • A meal-time card on your Lock Screen, and a reminder at your usual meal times. • Scan a barcode and the product is read straight from the camera. • Optionally connect Apple Health to use recent weight, steps, active calories and workouts when shaping your program, and save the meals you log to Apple Health. • Saved foods — save a meal for next time, then choose how much you had without rebuilding it. • Targets you can revisit and adjust whenever your needs change. Ore is free: no subscription is required. Private by design. Sign in with Apple — no separate password. Photos attached while logging stay with the confirmed meal so you can see them in your diary, and are deleted with the meal or account. Raw Apple Health activity stays on your device. Delete your account and your data anytime from inside the app. Ore is a smart-estimate tool to help you stay aware of what you eat. It is not a medical device. Ore offers general nutrition guidance, not medical advice. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://oreapp.fit/privacy
