Vision parses the plate
Our vision model reads the plate in about two seconds and returns every ingredient it sees, with grams.
"kcal": 692,
"items": [
"chicken",
"rice",
"avocado"

Tweak, then log
The analysis is a draft, not a verdict. Swap the jasmine rice for basmati, bump the avocado grams, confirm. One tap to diary.
Targets that listen to your body.
Every Monday, Calow looks at your actual weight trend and adjusts your calorie budget accordingly. Lost faster than planned? Targets ease up. Plateau? Small nudge down. Science-backed, never aggressive.
One sharp observation.
Other apps drown you in metrics. Calow reads your week and surfaces the one thing worth knowing — with a suggested action. That's it.
Your protein was 22% lower on weekends — and that's exactly when your energy rating dropped.
Try front-loading Saturday breakfast with 30g+ protein (Greek yogurt bowl, eggs on toast). Small swap, measurable lift.
Your diary. Only yours.
Calow stores everything in your private iCloud — not ours. We don't track you, we don't sell data, we don't share it with brands. Zero third-party analytics.
What they’re saying.
Honest reactions from people who quietly stopped opening their old tracker.
I’ve tried every tracker on the App Store. This is the first one that doesn’t make me feel bad on a Monday.
Snapped a photo of my breakfast and it caught the avocado, the eggs, even the feta. I edited the rice to basmati and moved on.
The Monday insight is the only push notification I actually read. Quiet, specific, and never preachy.
No streaks shouting at me, no red numbers. Calow feels like the calm cousin of every other app I’ve tried.
Adaptive targets are doing the thing my old coach used to do — tweak the budget when life shifts. Worth the yearly alone.
Finally an iPhone-only app that uses iPhone-only things well. The widget, the camera, Apple Health — it all just clicks.
Free to try. Fair to keep.
