You Eat. App Track. Weight Drop. Cave Cals is a simple calorie tracker with a little prehistoric personality. Build a daily calorie target in about a minute, log what you ate, and get on with your day. No account needed. FREE EVERYDAY LOGGING • Search restaurant and branded foods, scan a barcode, or type "pizza 300" to log it in one tap. • Quick Start puts the foods you usually eat at this hour right on Home. • Save meals from today's log and add them again with one tap. • Edit calories and portions anytime; duplicate or delete with a swipe. • Log with Siri, Shortcuts, Home Screen widgets, and the Action button. PLAN, MACROS, AND PROGRESS • Build a calorie plan to lose, maintain, or gain weight from your age, height, weight, and activity, and see an estimated date to reach your goal. Or skip the plan and just track. • Track protein, carbs, and fat with optional daily goals. Missing macros fill in automatically. • Group foods into optional meal types. • Log weigh-ins and explore weight, calorie, and macro trends. Compare on-target and over-goal days. • Take a free Progress Photo each day with a timer and a ghost of your last shot, then compare. • Weekly Recap compares each week with the last, and prints a one-page report. CLANS • Start or join a clan with friends, family, or your trainer. See who logged today, send nudges and cheers, and take on challenges: streaks, Survivor, weight loss, and more. • Clans see only daily check-ins, never your food. Sign in with Apple or Google; a clan of two is free. APPLE HEALTH AND ICLOUD • Optionally sync with Apple Health: share calories, macros, and weigh-ins, and bring in weigh-ins from your smart scale or other apps. Cave Cals reads only your weight. • Your diary stays on your iPhone, with private iCloud sync. Weight history and Progress Photos stay on this device. • An optional morning reminder nudges you only on days nothing is logged yet. OPTIONAL CAVE CALS+ • Meal Scan: snap or choose a food photo and get an editable calorie and macro estimate. • Voice Log: say or type what you ate and how much, then review the foods before adding them. • Import recipes from links, photos, or pasted text, and save them per serving. • Cave Coach gives three AI suggestions based on a summary of your logging patterns. • Take additional Progress Photos and angles on the same day. • Grow your clan past two members. • Siri can estimate new foods. Try up to 10 combined Meal Scan and Voice Log analyses without a subscription, until you have logged 100 regular food entries. After either limit, upgrade to Cave Cals+ to keep scanning. Cave Cals+ includes up to 30 photo, voice, and Siri analyses per day and 300 per calendar month. Manual logging, food search, barcode lookup, saved meals, calorie plans, macros, weight tracking, and Progress remain free. Choose a monthly or yearly subscription. Eligible new subscribers get a discounted first month or first year. Local prices, the introductory price and how long it lasts, and the renewal price are shown before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled in your Apple Account settings at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Calorie plans and AI results are estimates. Review and correct each result before saving. Cave Cals is a food diary, not medical advice. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, or managing an eating disorder or medical nutrition needs, use a target from your clinician. Selected photos, recordings, and descriptions are sent to OpenAI only when you choose to analyze them. With macros tracked, names and calories of foods missing macros are sent to estimate them. Cave Coach sends a summary of logging patterns, including selected food names. Your full diary is not sent. Progress Photos are never sent to AI.
