A calorie counter and weight tracker built Arabic-first — your body is more than a number on the scale. Log a meal in one sentence, photograph your plate, or find it in a food table built for how we eat: kabsa, mandi, biryani, jareesh, foul, sukkari dates. Type it, it's logged • One sentence can carry several things: "coffee, gym, then yogurt" is two meals and a workout. • Photograph your plate and it returns items and weights you correct before saving. • Every number comes from BitePrint's own table; an unknown food is marked "estimate". Your food, our way • Over 2,800 Arabic and Gulf foods in servings people use: a piece, a cup, a plate. • Barcode scanning, free for everyone. • Search understands dialects and Latin spelling. • Your own dishes, plus 107 Arabic recipes. Your diet, and your allergies • Halal, vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, and gluten-, lactose-, dairy-, nut-, egg- or seafood-free. • Tell BitePrint AI "I'm vegetarian" and every later suggestion changes; delete what it kept any time. Your training, in Arabic — and a program you run • 873 movements in photographs: two real photos per exercise — the start and the end — with a Saudi man and woman taking turns, and the Arabic name above the English. • The Workout tab: your next workout as a large photo with Start on it, every set logs weight x reps in one tap, and last time's numbers are filled in for you. • A rest timer that fills the screen, chimes and buzzes, and remembers itself per exercise. • Pause and come back, and finish with your heaviest lift and a share card. • Your workout counts once when BitePrint and your Apple Watch both record it. • Write your plan, ask BitePrint AI, or paste your coach's schedule verbatim — and export it as PDF. Body composition • Photograph a report from any scale and track its numbers. • Or import your history from your scale's app as a CSV. • 22 metrics: weight, body fat, muscle, body water, bone, visceral fat, BMR, waist and hip, and more. • Compare any two measurements. And the rest of your day • Energy analysis: what you logged against how your weight moved — your real burn. • Water tracking and reminders. • Intermittent fasting 14:10, 16:8, 18:6, 20:4. • Watch workouts appear the moment you open the app, steps are a tile on Today, and energy and weight come from Apple Health. • Recipes that fit: meals that complete today's calories and protein, added with one tap. • Home and Lock Screen widgets, share cards. • Arabic and English with real RTL support. Your privacy No account. No password. No ads. Your log lives on your device and syncs through your own iCloud. We cannot read it. When you use BitePrint AI, what you send goes to the BitePrint service to be read and is not kept. Nothing is sent before you agree, and your name and email never leave. Scanning a product sends only the barcode to Open Food Facts. Publishing a dish is optional. AppsFlyer measures where installs and subscriptions come from; the advertising identifier is used only if you allow it. BitePrint Pro • Read a body-composition report from any device. • All 22 metrics instead of three. • Compare two measurements, and the energy analysis. • Charts over any period. • Unlimited workout plans, assistant memory and dishes. • A larger daily AI allowance.

About

Balanza

Read full description

Balanza is a free calorie counter with a photo. Take a picture of your plate, describe it in words or scan a barcode, and the AI works out the calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber and calcium for you. No typing, no searching through databases. A DAILY TARGET THAT ADJUSTS ITSELF Log your first meal, describe yourself in one sentence, and Balanza works out your daily calorie and protein target. Then it does what no static calculator does: every week it compares what you logged with how your weight actually moved, and corrects the target. Your body is the measurement, not a formula. TRAINING DAYS A second set of daily targets for the days you train. One tap under the date switches the day to a training day, and the ring turns blue. Tap the middle of the ring to switch between calories left and calories eaten. A FOOD DIARY BY MEAL Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, each with its own card. Saved meals for the things you eat again and again, and a personal food list that learns from you: the second time you type a food you already logged, the answer is instant and free. Popular local dishes from your country answer instantly and free too, when you search or describe a meal. Search the food database right from your food list. The last seven days sit on the home screen: tap a day you missed to fill it in. WEIGHT AND WAIST TRENDS A weigh-in a day, a smoothed trend that ignores the daily noise, an estimated date for your goal, and a weekly overview in plain sentences: what you ate, how the weight moved, and what seems to have had an effect. At the start of each week, a summary card waits for you on the home screen. A table of every weigh-in with a monthly summary. And a weight widget for your iPhone home screen, with a reminder on weigh-in mornings. WATER, SUGAR AND QUICKER LOGGING The add screen opens with a field on top: type what you ate, or tap the big photo button. Your foods, barcode, saved meals and nutrition labels are one tap away. A glass on the home screen fills up as you drink, toward a daily goal based on EFSA guidance, with an optional reminder, in ml or fl oz. Sugar sits on the home screen as an upper limit: under 10% of your calories, as the WHO recommends. The add screen suggests what you usually eat at this hour, one tap to log it. INTERMITTENT FASTING WITHOUT A TIMER The fast is measured straight from your diary: it starts after the last food you logged and ends with the next one. Nothing to start, nothing to stop. SET IT UP YOUR WAY Metric or imperial units, your choice of the first day of the week, and the hour a diary day starts, handy if you eat late at night. NO ACCOUNT, NO SIGN-UP Your data is tied to an anonymous id only. A recovery code brings it back on a new phone. Export everything to a file whenever you want, delete everything in one tap. ELEVEN LANGUAGES English, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, Greek, Hungarian, Bulgarian, Slovak, Czech, Russian and Arabic, switchable in Settings. FREE Everything described here is free to use. One small ad at the bottom of some screens covers part of the running costs. Every number Balanza works out is cited to its source inside the app, with a medical disclaimer. Balanza is not a medical device and does not replace a doctor or a dietitian.
