Calorific

In private beta on TestFlight

Food, training and progress, in one app.

Calorific logs a meal from a photo or a sentence, plans your training, and shows how the two add up. No ads, and your data is not for sale.

For iPhone, with an Apple Watch app for cardio. The beta is by invitation while the app is finished.

What it does

Three jobs, one place

Log food the quick way

Photograph a plate, type “two slices of toast with butter and a flat white”, scan a barcode, or search. Calorific works out the foods and portions and gives you a draft to check before it is saved.

  • Matched against open food databases, with UK labelling: energy, protein, carbohydrate, fat, fibre, sugars, saturates and salt.
  • Anything the app had to guess is marked as an estimate.
  • A meal photographed with no signal is analysed when the connection returns.

Train with a plan

The coach builds a plan around your goal, your equipment and any injuries, then guides each session. Change it whenever you like: swap an exercise when the machine is busy.

  • Logging a set takes one tap, pre-filled from last time.
  • It tells you what to lift next, so progress is not left to memory.
  • A rest timer between sets, shown as a Live Activity.
  • Runs, rides, walks, rows and swims recorded on Apple Watch.

See what is changing

Weight trend, weekly check-ins, measurements and optional progress photos, tied back to what you ate and how you trained.

  • A weekly review that looks for patterns, like weekends or travel.
  • Small daily habits: steps, water, sleep, a supplement.
  • Works with Apple Health and standard Bluetooth scales.

Built for real days

Works in a basement gym

Everything is saved on your phone first and synced when there is a connection. You can start a workout, log a meal and tick off a habit with no signal at all.

Gentle mode

Calm when you need it

Gentle mode never suggests a calorie deficit and keeps reminders soft. Widgets leave out calorie and macro figures. For under-18s the app avoids weight-loss targets and weight talk.

Privacy

Your data is yours

No ads, no selling

Your data is used to run the app for you. It is not sold and not used for advertising.

Encrypted

Everything is encrypted in transit. Health information, meal photos and progress photos are also encrypted at rest.

Photos stay with you

Progress photos stay on your device unless you choose to keep a copy on your account, and an AI reads them only if you separately allow it.

Delete it all

You can permanently delete your account, and the data held for it, from Settings in the app.

Meal analysis, plans and reviews use an AI service that does not train on your data by default. The full detail is in the data protection policy.

Worth knowing

A guide, not a diagnosis

Calorific is not a medical service. Its estimates, targets and plans are general guidance and can be wrong: photo analysis is approximate and portion sizes are guesses. Talk to a doctor or other qualified professional before you change your diet or start a new exercise programme, and if you are pregnant, under 18, or have a medical condition, an injury or a history of disordered eating.
