Cal

A nutrition coach you text. No app to install.

Overview

Food tracking apps ask for a lot: search, scan, weigh, repeat. Cal starts with a text. Send a photo of lunch or a quick message, and Cal logs the meal, keeps track of your weight and replies like a person would, typing indicator and all.

The interface is a conversation

Snap the plate. That’s the log.

A vision model names the food and the portions. The nutrition numbers come from USDA FoodData Central, not a guess.

That’s a strong protein start. Want a lighter idea for dinner?

Privacy by design

It remembers your meals, not your messages.

Cal keeps structured nutrition data. Raw chat isn’t stored, and food photos are deleted once the meal is logged.

Everyday moments

Built for real days, late-night fridge visits included.

No dashboard to open and no streak to protect. Cal fits into the conversations people already have.
