Calorithm
Read full descriptionHide full description
Calorithm turns a photo of your plate into a full nutrition breakdown — calories, protein, carbs, and fat — in seconds. No barcode hunting. No scrolling a database looking for "grilled chicken, medium portion." Just take the picture. PHOTOGRAPH IT INSTEAD OF LOGGING IT Point your camera at the meal. Calorithm identifies the dish, estimates the cooked weight, breaks it into ingredients, and adds up the macros — including the cooking oil most trackers quietly miss. Every result is editable, so you are never stuck with a number you disagree with. NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED Start tracking the moment you open the app. No sign-up, no email, no password. Your meals, weight, and progress photos are stored on your device, and your settings sync privately through your own iCloud. You only ever sign in if you decide to join the community. BUILT FOR THE WAY YOU ACTUALLY EAT Calorithm reads real home cooking: mixed plates, shared dishes, rice and stews, grills and sides. It infers the cooking method from the photo, so a fried portion is never scored like a boiled one. A PLAN THAT ADAPTS TO YOU Answer a few questions and Calorithm builds a daily calorie and macro target from your body, activity level, and goal. Change that goal later and your history stays intact — earlier days are still measured against the target that applied back then. • Roll unused calories over to tomorrow • Add the calories you burned to today's budget • Weight trends across weeks, months, and the full year • Water tracking and logging streaks • Before-and-after photo comparison, kept on your device APPLE HEALTH, IN BOTH DIRECTIONS Read your weight and active energy from Health to sharpen your daily target. Write meals, calories, and macros back when you want them there. Sync is entirely optional and can be switched off at any time. A COMMUNITY THAT GETS IT Share a meal to a feed of people working toward the same thing. React, follow, and join monthly challenges with live leaderboards. Feeds are separated by language, every post can be reported or blocked, and an active moderation queue stands behind it. ARABIC FIRST, NOT TRANSLATED Calorithm was designed in Arabic from the first screen. Full right-to-left layout, natural Arabic dish names and culinary vocabulary, and Arabic numerals throughout. English is fully supported as well. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Your meals, weight, and progress photos live on your device. A meal photo is sent for analysis only after you agree, is never used to train AI models, and is not retained by us. Nothing appears publicly unless you choose to post it. CALORITHM PRO Pro unlocks unlimited photo analysis, your adaptive plan, Apple Health sync, and the community. Start with a 3-day free trial, then choose monthly or yearly. Cancel any time in your App Store settings. Nutrition estimates are approximate and are not medical advice. Consult a healthcare professional before making significant changes to your diet.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: LiftNote at none against Calorithm's shown. LiftNote also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
