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.

Hunger

Photograph your meal and Hunger estimates the calories, protein, carbs and fat — then puts the plate in a feed of what everyone else is eating. Free to use: the camera is not behind a paywall. An optional Hunger VIP subscription adds privacy and extras. SNAP IT OR TYPE IT • Photograph the plate, or describe it in a line: "two slices of pizza and a coke". • Catch up from the camera roll: up to ten photos at once, each placed at the time it was taken. • The meal is saved the moment you take the photo. The estimate fills in while you eat. THE FEED • New meals are shared under a username you pick, for other people to serve or pass, and to comment on. • Before your first plate goes up, Hunger shows you exactly how it will appear. • Report any post, block any person. • With VIP you can keep meals out of the Feed, one at a time or entirely. AN ESTIMATE, NOT A VERDICT • Every item, portion and number can be corrected, and corrections are saved as you make them. • Search reference foods to add an item by hand. • On an iPhone with Apple Intelligence the plate is read on the device, the photo never leaves it, and there is no limit at all. Other iPhones send it to be estimated, with a small free daily allowance and far more with VIP. YOUR WEEK, NOT JUST YOUR DAY • Calories and macros for today against your goal. • Seven days on one chart, with the weekly average called out. • On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, an optional weekly summary written on the device: one or two sentences of plain observation. • No streaks, no red, no scolding. GOALS AND APPLE HEALTH • Set daily calories and pick a macro split, or set your own with VIP. • Count active energy and workouts from Apple Health, with your permission. • Save meals back to Health if you want to. • Reminders around the times you usually eat, and for the glasses of water still owed. HUNGER VIP — $3.99 A MONTH • Keep your meals private, out of the Feed. • Set your own protein, carbs and fat split. • A detailed dashboard of how you are tracking: averages, macro balance, weekly trend and when you eat. • Far more cloud estimates a day, and a crown next to your name. • Payment is charged to your Apple ID and the subscription renews monthly until you cancel it in Settings. Terms: https://hun.ger.llc/terms WHAT STAYS YOURS • Your log, your photos and your goals live on your iPhone and in your own iCloud. • Health figures never leave the device. • Browse without an account. Sign in with Apple only to add meals, and Hunger asks for no name or email. • No ads and no tracking across other apps or websites. Anonymous counts of which features get used, with no photos or meal text, and a switch in Profile to turn them off. Hunger estimates. It does not diagnose or treat anything, and its numbers can be wrong by a wide margin.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Hunger at every 5 days against Grava's every 2 weeks. Hunger also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
