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 — 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.

Calorie counting that shows its work. Snap a photo, type what you ate or scan a barcode. Cality lists every ingredient with its grams, lets you fix anything that's off, and adds up the calories and macros in front of you. PHOTO, WORDS OR BARCODE • Snap your plate: Cality names the dish, finds each part of it and estimates how much is there. When something isn't clear, it asks instead of guessing. • Type it or say it: describe a meal in your own words, in your own language. Cality understands amounts like "half", "two" or "a glass". • Scan a barcode, or photograph the nutrition label when there's no barcode. • Nothing is saved until you confirm it. SEE THE MATH, CHANGE THE MATH • Change the grams or the count, or pick half, one or one and a half portions. • Add or remove an ingredient: forgot the dressing? Add it. • Tap Fix Results and write something like "cooked in butter" to update the estimate. • The AI identifies the food. Calories are calculated from food composition data for the grams you confirm, not read off the photo. TRAIN: A GYM LOG BUILT IN • Log every set: weight, reps and set type, with your last numbers in front of you. Logging workouts is always free. • A rest timer that follows you to the Lock Screen, with a quiet alert when rest is over. • Routines and week-by-week programs. Start today's workout in one tap. • Import a plan from a TikTok, Instagram or YouTube link, a photo or a PDF, and Cality turns it into routines you can edit. • Photograph a gym machine to see the exercises it's for, with a short animation of each. • Personal records, the muscles you trained, and strength charts over time. • Share a routine or program with a code or QR; friends save it to their own Cality. • Finished workouts add their burned calories to your day and save to Apple Health. THE REST OF YOUR DAY • A plan built around you: daily calories, protein, carbs and fat from your age, height, weight, activity and goal. Change them any time. • Apple Health: steps and workouts adjust today's budget; meals, water and weight can sync back to Health. • Water in one tap, and your weight over weeks and months. • Meal, water and weigh-in reminders that fit your routine, plus goal coaching in your own numbers: the weight still to go, the weeks to your goal, the calories left today. You can pause daytime meal reminders during Ramadan. • A weekly summary and a PDF report to share with a coach or dietitian. 15 LANGUAGES Cality speaks English, Arabic, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian and Malay. Switch any time. Arabic is fully right-to-left, with Western or Arabic numerals. YOUR HEALTH DATA ISN'T THE PRODUCT Your meals, weight and Apple Health data are never sold or used for advertising. Delete your account and your data from inside the app at any time. SUBSCRIPTION Cality is free to use: plan, manual and barcode logging, water, weight, workout logging, Apple Health and reminders, plus 2 AI logs a day, 3 routines, 3 machine scans a week and 1 plan import. Cality Pro, monthly or yearly with a 3-day free trial for eligible new subscribers, unlocks unlimited AI logging (photo, label, typed and voice), unlimited routines, machine scans and plan imports, strength charts, the full weekly report with AI analysis, your measured burn, micronutrients, full history and PDF reports. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase, or when the free trial ends.

Manage or cancel it in your Apple ID settings. Prices vary by country and are shown in the app before you buy. Cality gives estimates for general wellness and is not medical advice.
