Today
The day, at a glance.
What you've eaten, what's next, and whether it still fits. Tick a meal off and its calories, protein, carbs, fat and fiber are already logged — there is no separate act of tracking.
Plan the week, import a recipe from wherever you found it, and let the macros and the grocery list write themselves.

What you've eaten, what's next, and whether it still fits. Tick a meal off and its calories, protein, carbs, fat and fiber are already logged — there is no separate act of tracking.
Planner
Fill the week meal by meal, or let the Weekly Menu Builder fill it for you from your own recipes, scored against your macro targets. The grocery list is assembled from whatever you planned.
Recipes
Filter your recipe book by what's actually left in the day. Everything that fits is marked; everything that doesn't tells you by how much it misses.
Recipes arrive as a link someone sent you, a photo of a cookbook page, a wall of text pasted from a comment, or a thing you say out loud. All four go in the same way.
Paste any recipe URL. The page is fetched and pulled apart into ingredients, steps and macros.
Point the camera at a cookbook, a handwritten card, or a printout on the counter.
Paste it exactly as you found it. Ingredients, quantities and steps get sorted out for you.
Say the recipe. It's transcribed and structured while you talk.
"Chicken thighs, forty minutes at four hundred, with the lemon rice…"

The whole USDA food database ships inside the app — every packaged product, its nutrition panel, its serving size. Scanning doesn't ask the internet for permission.
Scan a label in a basement freezer aisle, on a plane, or in a shop with one bar of signal, and the answer comes back instantly, because it was never anywhere else.
2,007,565 foods in total. Anything not in it falls back to Open Food Facts online.

The question you actually ask at six o'clock. Tap it, and the app takes the macros you have left and ranks what fits — your recipes and what's already in the kitchen.
Nothing fits? It says so, and tells you by how much you'd go over. It never makes the number up.
You already told the app what you were going to eat. Ticking it off is the whole of the work — calories, protein, carbs, fat and fiber follow from the plan, and go to Apple Health on their own.
Today's plan sits on the home screen, and you can tick a meal off from there — without opening the app at all.
There is no account to make and nothing to sign into. Your food lives on your devices, and syncs between them through your own iCloud.
Choose Apple Intelligence and the text features — parsing a recipe, reading a spoken food log — run on the phone itself. No key, no account, nothing sent anywhere. Claude and Gemini are there if you'd rather, and photo features need one of them.
Calories, protein, carbs, fat and fiber are written to Health. Edit a meal a week later and it reconciles what it wrote — no duplicates, no drift, no orphaned entries.
iPhone and iPad stay in step through your own iCloud account. Hand a week's plan to someone else and you'll both see the same one.
The things that don't need a headline.
Fills a week from your own recipes, day by day, scored against your targets.
Works out your BMR and TDEE — Katch-McArdle if it knows your body fat, Mifflin-St Jeor if it doesn't — and sets targets from your goal.
Built from the plan, grouped by aisle. Anything already in the kitchen is flagged so you don't buy it twice.
Everyone gets their own targets and their own day. Nobody has to share a calorie budget.
Scan the label. Ask what goes with dinner, and get an answer from bottles you actually own.
Set a rule once — "steak on Thursday" means "take the steak out on Wednesday".
Export everything to JSON whenever you like. Recipes, plans, logs, the lot.
