Grava turns a photo of your food into calories and macros in seconds. No searching food databases, no weighing portions, no math — point your camera, confirm, done. Under the hood, Google's Gemini analyzes your food photos with state-of-the-art accuracy, and Apple Intelligence steps in as an on-device backup — so Grava keeps working even when you have no connection. LOG FOOD IN SECONDS - Snap a photo of your meal - Add a quick note for extra accuracy - Import a photo or screenshot — menus, nutrition labels, and delivery-app orders all work - Or just type what you ate HONEST ESTIMATES, NOT FAKE PRECISION No app can know your burrito had exactly 743 calories — and any app that claims to is guessing. Grava shows you the honest range instead. Pick how to count it once — top of the range for cutting, middle for maintenance, bottom for bulking — and Grava applies it automatically. Every value can be edited, and nothing is logged until you confirm. You can even snap a photo just to check a meal without logging it. TARGETS BUILT AROUND YOU A 30-second setup (sex, birth year, height, weight, activity level) computes your maintenance calories using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, plus targets for losing or gaining 1–2 lb per week. Every day shows exactly where you stand: deficit or surplus. MADE FOR REAL LIFE - Night owl? End your calorie day after midnight (up to 6 AM) so late-night snacks count toward the right day — Grava even offers this automatically if it notices you logging late - See your history as a line chart, calendar, or list, with weekly per-day averages and full macro breakdowns - Sign in with Apple and your history syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac GRAVA PLUS Photo estimates from Google's Gemini come with Grava Plus, a monthly or yearly subscription, and your first month is free with no card needed. Without Plus, your log, history, targets and companions stay free, and devices with Apple Intelligence can still estimate on-device (much less accurate and slower). Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Plus renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
