Overview

What is iPocket Cal?

iPocket Cal is an AI calorie tracker for iPhone and iPad. Log meals from a photo or short text description, get estimated calories and macros, follow personalized meal plans, and ask an AI nutrition assistant about your history—without turning food logging into a spreadsheet chore.

Who it is for

  • People who want photo food logging instead of searching a huge database every meal
  • Anyone tracking calories and macros for weight, training, or general awareness
  • Users who want meal plans plus day-to-day logging in one app
  • Friends or partners who share records nearby with P2P sharing

How to log a meal with AI

  1. Tap + and take a photo of the meal, or type a short description.
  2. Let the AI (Gemini / OpenAI backends as configured) estimate calories and nutrients.
  3. Adjust the item if needed, then save it to your day.
  4. Review daily totals and progress toward your goals.
  5. Use the AI Nutrition Assistant for questions about your history or general diet topics (RAG-assisted answers).

You can also create custom foods in the Food Library with your own nutrition values for repeat logging.

Data on device and nearby sharing

Records are stored locally, with optional peer-to-peer sharing so you can exchange food records, exercises, and meal plans with people nearby. There is no requirement to live inside a heavy cloud-only diary to start tracking.

Free and Pro

Core AI logging and planning flows are available in the free experience. Pro (monthly, yearly, or lifetime from Settings → Premium) unlocks advanced capabilities for users who track every day and want the full assistant toolkit.
