Private by design

Your food diary is yours. We literally can't read it.

Calorie Cownter is built to keep your data private. Your diary lives in your iCloud, and your Health data never leaves your phone. We don't store or sell anything. Our goal is to make a great app, not to make money off your data.

Your diary syncs in your iCloud

Meals, goals, and favorites live in your private iCloud database. It's on your devices, not ours.

Health data stays on your phone

Activity is read on-device to work out your budget. Those numbers are never sent anywhere.

Scanned photos are discarded

A photo is analyzed to estimate nutrition and then thrown away. We don't keep it.

No ads, no tracking

No advertising, no tracking SDKs in the app, nothing sold to anyone. This website counts page views with cookieless analytics that can't identify you.

How it works

Three steps. Zero spreadsheets.

01 Log your meals Type it, scan the barcode, or snap a photo. Whichever is fastest wins.

02 Earn calories back A walk, a workout, a busy day — activity from Apple Health adds to your daily budget.

03 Stay on budget Watch the ring fill as your day goes. Macro bars keep you honest without the guilt trip.
