Point your camera at your plate. Ratiō reads it and returns calories, protein, carbs, and fat in seconds. But here's what makes Ratiō different: it shows its work. Most AI food trackers hand you a number and hope you don't ask questions. Ratiō breaks down every item it identified, the portion it estimated, and how it got there. Disagree? Edit it in two taps. Your correction sticks, and your log stays honest. HOW IT WORKS • Snap a photo of any meal — home-cooked, takeout, restaurant, whatever's in front of you • Ratiō identifies each component and estimates portions • Review the breakdown, adjust anything that looks off • Log it and move on BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY TRACK • Full macro breakdown on every entry, not just a calorie total • Item-level editing — fix one ingredient without redoing the whole meal • Manual entry and quick-add for the days you already know the numbers • Daily targets you set, not targets an algorithm decides for you • Clean, fast interface that opens straight to the camera NO GAMES • Clear pricing before you sign up • Free trial with an obvious cancel path • No fake precision, no invented confidence, no ads Tracking only works if you keep doing it. Ratiō is built to take five seconds, not five minutes — so you actually still be using it in month three. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Ratiō Pro is available as a monthly subscription at $14.99/month or an annual subscription at $99/year, both starting with a 3-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings.
