Calorie counter, no sign-up. Open Radish and start counting. Radish is a calorie counter and food diary: calories, protein, carbs, fat, Nutri-Score, barcode scanning. No account, no ads. Your diary stays on your phone β€” never sent to our servers (except AI or barcode scanning, if you use them). COUNT CALORIES, FOR FREE - Calorie counter and macro tracker: protein, carbs, fat - Today's diary: what you ate, the total, what you have left - Barcode scanner for packaged products - Nutri-Score from A to E, when the data allows it - 11 vitamins and minerals: iron, magnesium, zinc, calcium, potassium, sodium, vitamins A, C, D, B9 and B12 - Meal plan, weight tracking, weekly recap, energy expenditure that adjusts Optional in-app purchases: Radish Pro and Premium (below). 19,474 FOODS, EACH ONE WITH ITS SOURCE SHOWN The database is bundled inside the app: 19,474 foods, drawn from several national reference tables (CIQUAL in France, and others). Tap a food and Radish always shows where its value comes from: reference table, brand label, Radish recipe, or "Radish estimate". WE NAME WHAT LEAVES YOUR PHONE, AND WHY Counting, recipes and the Nutri-Score work with no connection; barcode scanning and the AI assistant need the internet. The detail is in the app: Settings > Data & privacy. What stays on this device - Diary, meals, weight, targets and photos: on the phone, not on our servers. Uninstalling the app erases them - Steps through Apple Health, only if you turn it on: read-only, Radish never writes anything back What leaves the device, and when - Barcode scan: the code goes to the open Open Food Facts database. Nothing else from your profile - AI assistant, optional, never on by default: the meal sent for analysis travels through our relay to the model provider. Our relay keeps nothing of it - Purchase: payment goes through the App Store. Our provider receives an anonymous identifier and your purchase history, never any diary data No data resale, no ad trackers, no account to delete. YOUR RECIPES, AND THE AI 937 recipes, filtered by calories, eating style and goal; build your own, with macros and micronutrients computed from your ingredients. Photograph your meal or describe it in one sentence: wrong food? Replace it in two taps. Without the AI, Radish stays usable. WHAT IS FREE, AND WHAT IS NOT Free: logging, search, barcode scan, the micronutrients of every food that carries them, all the recipes, the Nutri-Score, the meal plan, Apple Health sync, the detailed profile. Radish Pro, one-time purchase, no subscription: multiple profiles, body measurements, diet and allergy filters, in-depth calculation model, automatic week generation in the plan, the coach conversation beyond the first reply, AI assistant with your own API key (AI is not included; without a key, Radish Pro works without AI). Radish Premium, monthly or yearly subscription: everything in Radish Pro, plus AI included with no key to manage, long-term trends and CSV export. New subscribers: free 7-day trial on the subscription, never on the one-time purchase. Renews automatically until cancelled in your Apple ID subscription settings; price shown before any payment. Available in English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Hindi and Arabic. Nutri-Score uses the revised algorithm in force in France since March 2025: it can differ from the score printed on some packaging until March 2027.
