Ignyx makes calorie tracking simple. Enter what you ate and what you burned, and Ignyx shows your net for the day β a deficit (green) or a surplus (red) β so you always know where you stand. WHY IGNYX β’ Dead-simple daily logging β two numbers and you're done. β’ A clear deficit/surplus readout with the math handled for you. β’ A running trend chart so you can see progress over a week, a month, or all time. β’ Deficit streaks and records to keep you motivated. β’ Weigh-ins and goals to tie your numbers to real results. β’ Personal calibration that learns your own calories-per-pound over time for a more accurate weight estimate. OPTIONAL APPLE HEALTH IMPORT Pull a day's dietary energy, active and resting energy, and body weight straight from Apple Health to pre-fill the form β so you type less. Access is read-only; Ignyx never writes to Health. PRIVATE BY DESIGN There is no account and no sign-up. Everything you enter stays on your device. No servers, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. Your data is yours. Start today and turn your daily numbers into a trend you can be proud of.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ignyx at none against Gym Log's 1. Ignyx also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). Gym Log's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
