You've tried the trackers that feel like a second job: endless database searches, guilt-trip numbers, the streak you lost and never went back to. BiteBuddy is different: an AI calorie counter that's genuinely happy to see you. Point your camera at any meal. In seconds, BiteBuddy's AI breaks it into calories, protein, carbs, and fat: itemized, editable, explained. Your buddy, a fuzzy companion with real feelings about your food, reacts to every log and celebrates every streak. LOG IN SECONDS, NOT MINUTES Typing every bite into a search bar is why trackers get deleted in a week. Five faster ways in: • Photo scan: snap your plate, get an itemized estimate • Barcode scanner: instant packaged-food nutrition • Label scan: photograph any nutrition label • Voice & text: just say what you ate • Saved favorites: one-tap logging for repeat meals AN AI YOU CAN ACTUALLY TRUST An estimate with no reasoning behind it isn't worth trusting. BiteBuddy shows its work: • Review and edit every estimate before it saves • See exactly what shaped each number: portions, assumptions, confidence • Only ate half? Tell BiteBuddy, it adjusts instantly • Feedback that says plainly when you're on track, over, or under A PLAN BUILT AROUND YOU, NOT A TEMPLATE A generic calorie target ignores your body and your goal. BiteBuddy builds yours instead: • Personalized calorie and macro targets with safety guardrails • Today view tracks all 7: calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber, sodium, sugar • Log your weight and watch your trend on the Progress tab • Weekly reports find your patterns; Pro adds a deeper monthly report THE TRACKER YOU'LL WANT TO COME BACK TO Most trackers only talk to you when you slip up. BiteBuddy is the opposite: • Streaks, XP, and levels that reward showing up, not perfection • A buddy whose mood follows your day: it cheers, it flexes, it gets peckish when you do • An optional gentle evening reminder so a busy day doesn't end your streak NO SUBSCRIPTION SURPRISES Nobody wants to hunt for the cancel button. BiteBuddy is straightforward: • Free: 10 AI scans a week, a weekly report, unlimited manual logging, streaks, and progress tracking • Pro: 100 AI scans a day plus monthly reports, $7.99/month or $49.99/year • Restore purchases gives clear on-screen confirmation • Manage or cancel anytime in one tap, straight to Apple's subscription screen Free trials, where offered, convert to a paid subscription unless cancelled before the trial ends. Subscriptions bill through your Apple ID, renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and can be managed in Settings. Whether you want a simple calorie counter, a macro tracker for training, a carb counter, or a food diary that finally sticks, BiteBuddy makes nutrition tracking feel less like a chore and more like checking in on a friend. BiteBuddy provides informational nutrition estimates only. AI estimates can be inaccurate; review before saving. Not medical, dietitian, allergy, or emergency advice; consult a qualified professional for health decisions. Ages 16+.
