During my last semester break, I got obsessed with calorie tracking and ended up juggling multiple apps to keep tabs on my intake. Each app had its killer feature that I couldn’t get enough of, and I started dreaming of a single app that could bring all those standout tools together. So, I pinged my friend, and we decided to take a crack at building it ourselves. What I thought would be a quick weekend side project spiraled into an epic adventure.
The Features:
A reliable database: We obtain food data from a comprehensive, high-quality database. This database primarily includes Western and European foods and information from package labels. We will soon add data from additional countries.
AI photo logging: Click a photo of your meal and get the estimates for calories and other macros. It's pretty handy when at a restaurant where the nutritional values of food are not listed.
AI meal describe: If you forgot to take a picture before eating, describe what you ate afterward to log it. Works similarly to food logging.
Barcode scanning: The feature is very quick and snappy, retrieving data from a vast open-source database.
Nutrition Label Scanning: Log your meals by scanning any nutrition label for a food product.
Progress tracking: Uses intuitive graphs to track your steps, weight, and daily macros intake.
No ads and Privacy focused: Users can sign in with Apple to protect their privacy. No ads.
Integration with Apple: The app has dynamic widgets and integrates with the Apple Health app.
The next feature I'm working on is an AI meal planner that helps you plan well-balanced meals according to your diet and goal restrictions.
