Calorify questions,
answered.
How AI meal logging works, what happens to your data, and how to get the most from your food diary.
Getting started
What is Calorify?
Calorify is a food diary app from DEDUCTIFY, LLC. You can log meals with a photo, a short description, or manual entries, then follow calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, water, and weight in one place.
Do I need an account?
No. Open the app and start logging. Your diary is stored locally on your device rather than in an online account.
Is Calorify free?
Calorify is free to download. Optional Pro upgrades are available as in-app purchases. The App Store listing shows current options and prices for your region.
Which devices does Calorify run on?
iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 17.6 or later, Macs with an Apple M1 chip or later running macOS 14.6 or later, and Apple Vision Pro with visionOS 1.3 or later.
Is there an Android version?
No. Calorify by DEDUCTIFY, LLC is available only on the App Store. Other apps with similar names are not made by us, so use the App Store link on this website to find the right one.
Which languages does the app support?
The app is localized into several languages, including English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Arabic, Russian, Korean, Vietnamese, and Chinese. The App Store listing shows the current list.
AI photo and description logging
How does AI meal logging work?
Take a photo of your meal or type a short description. Calorify suggests the foods, portions, calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat. Review each item, adjust anything that looks off, and save the entry to your diary.
How accurate are AI calorie estimates?
They are estimates, and some meals are harder than others. A photo cannot show everything: cooking oil, butter, sauces, dressings, and hidden fillings are hard to see, and portion size has to be judged from the image. Treat the result as a starting point, check the portions, and correct items before saving. For packaged foods, the nutrition label is usually the better source.
How can I get a better photo estimate?
- Fit the whole plate in the frame, in good light.
- Shoot from above when you can, so portions are easier to judge.
- Add a few words about what the camera can’t see, such as “cooked in 1 tbsp olive oil” or “dressing on the side.”
- Check each suggested portion before you save.
Can I log without using AI?
Yes. AI analysis is optional. You can search everyday foods, create meal entries yourself, and adjust portions by hand.
What happens to the photo I analyze?
When you request AI analysis, the selected photo and description are sent for processing, as described in the app privacy policy. Your diary itself stays on your device.
Privacy and your data
Where is my food diary stored?
Locally on your device. From the app you can export a backup, restore saved data, or delete your local diary.
Does Calorify collect my data?
The App Store privacy label for Calorify says “Data Not Collected.” Optional AI analysis sends the photo and description you choose for processing; the app privacy policy explains how that works.
What should I do before changing devices?
Because your diary lives on your device rather than in an account, export a backup first. You can then use the app’s restore option to bring your saved data back.
Goals and tracking
What can I track?
Calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat with daily progress rings; water intake; and optional weight entries. You can review your calorie history, follow your weight trend on a chart, and keep track of your logging streak.
Can I set my own targets?
Yes. Set your own calorie, protein, carbohydrate, fat, and water targets.
How do I choose a calorie target?
Our TDEE calculator estimates maintenance calories with the Mifflin-St Jeor equation and an activity factor. Treat that number as a starting point and review it after a few weeks of logging. A registered dietitian can help you choose a personal target.
How do macros turn into calories?
Protein and carbohydrate provide about 4 calories per gram, and fat about 9. The macro calculator shows the math for any meal.
Is calorie tracking right for everyone?
Not always. If tracking makes you anxious, or you have a history of disordered eating, talk with a healthcare professional before you start. It’s okay to stop tracking.
This website
Are the guides personal nutrition advice?
No. Our articles explain general concepts and link to their sources. They are not medical advice or individualized meal plans. Consult a qualified professional for personal dietary guidance.
Where do the food calorie numbers come from?
From USDA FoodData Central (SR Legacy, April 2019). We scale USDA’s per-100 g values to its portion weights and round the results. Each food page links to its USDA entry.
