Everything you'd ask before downloading CalPilot — accuracy, pricing, privacy, macros, and how we stack up against search-and-pick trackers.
For single-ingredient or restaurant-style dishes, accuracy lands within 10–15% of actual calories — comparable to a human estimating from sight. For complex mixed dishes (stews, casseroles), the AI asks one clarifying question (oil amount, portion size) to lock the number in. You can always tap to adjust before saving.
Yes — download and try it free. The free tier covers daily logging, photo + voice input, and a full food database. CalPilot Pro adds unlimited photo logs, custom macro targets, weekly nutrition reports, and Apple Health / Google Fit sync.
MyFitnessPal still asks you to type, search, and pick a portion size for every meal — even after 15 years. CalPilot is photo-and-voice first. You log a meal in 3 seconds instead of 30. The food database is comparable in size; the friction is what we removed.
Yes. Every logged meal breaks down into protein, carbs, fat, and fiber. Set custom macro targets (e.g., 180g protein for muscle gain) and the app shows daily progress on each. Sugar, saturated fat, and sodium are tracked too.
Voice and photo logs require a quick internet roundtrip to the AI. Manual search and viewing your logged history work fully offline. We're shipping on-device photo recognition in 2026.
Photos are processed and discarded — never stored long-term, never used for training. Your meal log is end-to-end encrypted on our servers. You can export or delete everything in one tap from settings.
Yes, both. Calories burned import automatically; calories eaten export back to Health/Fit. Weight from Apple Watch and steps both factor into your daily target.
Tap and adjust. The portion slider, ingredient swap, and recipe-aware editing all take 2 seconds. Each correction makes the model better at recognizing your future meals — the app gets smarter for you specifically.
Yes. Snap a photo of any home recipe once and CalPilot saves it as a reusable meal. You can also build recipes from ingredients with their own macros — useful for meal preppers cooking in batches.
Mobile only for now (iOS and Android). The browsing experience and food lookup will land on askcalories.com as a companion in 2026 — but the AI logging stays mobile-first because that's where the camera is.
