Food and workout tracker for iPhone

Breakfast is a photo.
Leg day is a sentence.

One app for the barbell and the belly. Photo your plate, say what you lifted, and Barbelly logs both, does the math for your goal, and tells you what's left today.

Talk to it like a coach, not a form. Premium

Tell it what you ate, what you lifted, what you weigh, and it's logged. Ask it anything and it answers from your real numbers: today's food, your targets, your last sessions. Not generic advice.

You"ran 45 min, then leg press 3×12 at 80. how much protein do I still need?"

Coach"Logged: 45 min run, leg press 3 × 12 at 80 kg. You're short on protein for today. A shake plus the yogurt in your saved meals would cover it."

You"I weigh 79.4"

Coach"Noted, 79.4 kg. I watch your 7-day trend, not the daily number."

Coach screen on first open: 'Hi Sam, I'm your coach', six suggestion chips such as 'I ran 30 min on the treadmill', 'Leg press 3×12 at 80 kg' and 'What should I eat tonight?', and an empty message field.

Questions

  • Do I need an Apple Watch?

    No. If you have one, steps, active calories and Watch workouts come in automatically through Apple Health. Without one, Barbelly estimates what you burn from your workouts.

  • How accurate is the photo scan?

    Typically within about 20%. It breaks the plate into items with portions, and you can adjust the portion before saving. Barcode and search results use the product's label values.

  • Where is my data stored?

    On your phone and on our own server in the EU. Barbelly needs an account to sync; you can delete it, and everything with it, from Settings in the app. No ads, no trackers. See the privacy policy.

  • Is this medical advice?

    No. Barbelly estimates calories and gives general guidance based on what you log. Talk to a doctor before big changes to your diet or training.

  • Can I cancel Premium?

    Anytime, in your Apple ID subscriptions. Your data and all free features stay.

  • Which languages?

    English, French, Spanish, German, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese.
