What it is
An AI calorie counter built on a "triple-engine" system — USDA FoodData Central, a 2.3M+ barcode product database, and AI photo vision — claiming ±1.2% calorie accuracy with an average 8-second real-time correction flow and transparent confidence scoring. It tracks 82+ micronutrients, uses an adaptive energy-expenditure algorithm, and reports a 78% weekly adherence rate versus a 34% industry average (self-reported). Free tier never expires (3 AI photo scans/day, unlimited manual logging, 5 AI coach messages/day) Premium is $9.99/month or $59.99/year (~$5/month), with a 3-day free trial.

Deliberately minimal, Apple-Notes-simple interface for logging meals in plain language, built and marketed transparently by a single independent developer.
100+ selectable AI coach personalities let users pick a tone/style that fits them, rather than one fixed coaching voice.
Deliberately gamified design ("built to feel more like a game than a diet app") rather than a clinical tracking interface.
