Capture

It measures the plate

Naming the food is the easy half. kcalc.ai orbits the plate with the LiDAR sensor on the iPhones that have one, separates the meal into its ingredients, and estimates each portion on its own. Photo and barcode work on any supported iPhone.

Capture
Orbit the plate. The depth sensor does the measuring.

The band

Built for both directions

A target is a band, not a point. You land anywhere inside a range and the day counts. The plan learns your real maintenance from what you log and what you weigh, then steps the band up or down each week and records whether you held it.

Today
The day rises toward a band, not a point.
Insights
Energy and body weight on one time line, so the week you ate over is the week the scale stalled.

Four themes, two for gaining and two for losing. You choose on the first screen and can change your mind later.

  • Workout Demon

    Dark, heavy and fast. For gaining.

  • Executive Theory

    Dark, precise and unhurried. For gaining.

  • Forest Harmony

    Light and settled. For losing.

  • Light Days

    Light and buoyant. For losing.

One meal

How a meal goes in

  1. Capture it

    Photograph it, orbit it with LiDAR, scan a barcode, type a sentence or paste a recipe.

  2. The pipeline works

    It takes a moment, because it is doing real work. Watch the progress, or put the phone down and let it land in your day when it is finished.

  3. Answer one question, sometimes

    When the portion turns on something the photo cannot settle, the app asks instead of deciding for you. One question, and you can leave it: the app waits, then finishes with its own best estimate.

  4. The day closes

    The meal lands in your day, the total moves toward the band, and the week keeps its own account of how often you were inside it.

The plain facts

Stored in Sydney

Your account, your meals, your photos and your depth scans live on servers in Sydney. Most of the AI runs on our own GPU servers in Australia, and the fallback is in Sydney too. One thing leaves the country: the search that matches your food against our product database runs on an index in the United States, and the Privacy Policy says what is sent to it. There is no third-party advertising, and nothing about you is sold.

It works without signal

The app is offline-first once you are signed in. A meal you photograph or describe with no connection is saved straight away and estimated when the signal comes back. Looking a product up, by name or by barcode, is the part that has to wait for a connection.
