- 📦Intake: Calorie Counter & Log updated to version 2.8.1iOSThank you for using Intake!
New:
• Weekly budget: whatever you don't eat one day stays available for the week, and a dinner out evens out over the other days. Turn it on under Settings, Calories, Daily and weekly goals, and spread it automatically or by hand.
• Month calendar: tap the calendar on Today. Every day shows its ring in green, orange or red, and you see how many days ended up in each colour.
• The new Intake AI card: your photo, the calories in large type, the macros on one line and every ingredient in a table. Choose "One meal" or "Ingredients separately" right on the card.
• Calories left, always in view: when you add food and in Intake AI, a small ring at the top shows how many calories are left for the day. Tap it for protein, carbs and fat. You can turn it off under Settings, Appearance. After each entry it briefly shows what you added, then counts down.
• Reminders and Live Activity: reminders still arrive if you don't open Intake for a few days, and tapping one takes you to the right place. "+250 ml" logs your glass right from the notification. The fasting Live Activity keeps moving on its own.
• Widgets and Apple Watch: the "Calories Left" and "Calories Eaten" widgets look like the ring on Today. Water and weight from your Watch or Siri land in Intake and Apple Health right away, even with the app closed.
• Help for every feature: the help button in Settings and "Learn more" lead to a step-by-step guide for every feature.
• iPhone Duo: half open, the columns of Today and Stats meet exactly at the fold.
Improved:
• Every search result now has a plus: one tap logs a serving. The big number in search is per 100 g, or per 100 ml for drinks. And you can keep as many favourites as you like.
• For weight, Stats shows the average of the last 7 days.
• Pull down on Today or in Stats and Intake reads Apple Health and iCloud again right away. Changes in Apple Health also arrive by themselves.
• Your fasting syncs to your other devices through iCloud.
• Numbers and dates follow the language you set in Intake, times follow your iPhone's 12/24-hour setting.
Fixed in this version:
• Foods and drinks without calories now log reliably.
• However you close the keyboard after typing your weight, it is saved, in Apple Health too.
• "Change" in Stats counts from the first weigh-in of the period.
• Edit a weight or a measurement and Apple Health keeps only the new value.
• With your own OpenAI key, Intake AI breaks your meal down into its ingredients too.
• Stats stays easy to read with large text.
• 1 serving, 2 servings: proper plurals in every language.
• The PDF report opens in a preview.… more - ✏️Intake: Calorie Counter & Log: description updatediOS· DE

Neu:
• Wochenbudget: Was du an einem Tag nicht isst, bleibt dir für die Woche, und ein Abend mit Freunden gleicht sich über die anderen Tage aus. Du schaltest es unter Einstellungen, Kalorien, Tages- und Wochenziele ein und verteilst automatisch oder von Hand.
• Monatskalender: Tipp auf Heute auf den Kalender. Jeder Tag zeigt seinen Ring in Grün, Orange oder Rot, und du siehst, wie viele Tage es in jeder Farbe waren.
• Die neue Intake-AI-Karte: dein Foto, die Kalorien groß, die Makros in einer Zeile und jede Zutat in einer Tabelle. Direkt auf der Karte wählst du „Eine Mahlzeit“ oder „Zutaten einzeln“.
• Übrige Kalorien im Blick: Beim Hinzufügen von Essen und in Intake AI zeigt dir oben ein kleiner Ring, wie viele Kalorien dir heute noch bleiben. Tipp darauf für Protein, Kohlenhydrate und Fett. Unter Einstellungen, Darstellung schaltest du es aus. Nach jedem Eintrag zeigt er kurz, was du hinzugefügt hast, und zählt dann herunter.
• Erinnerungen und Live-Aktivität: Erinnerungen kommen auch, wenn du Intake ein paar Tage nicht öffnest, und ein Tipp öffnet die passende Stelle. Mit „+250 ml“ trägst du dein Glas direkt aus der Mitteilung ein. Die Live-Aktivität beim Fasten läuft von selbst weiter.
• Widgets und Apple Watch: Die Widgets „Kalorien übrig“ und „Kalorien gegessen“ sehen aus wie der Ring auf Heute. Wasser und Gewicht von der Watch oder über Siri landen sofort in Intake und Apple Health, auch bei geschlossener App.
• Hilfe zu jeder Funktion: Der Hilfe-Button in den Einstellungen und „Mehr erfahren“ führen zu einer Anleitung für jede Funktion, Schritt für Schritt.
• iPhone Duo: Halb aufgeklappt treffen sich die Spalten von Heute und Statistik genau am Falz.
Verbessert:
• Jedes Suchergebnis hat jetzt ein Plus: ein Tipp, und die Portion ist eingetragen. Die große Zahl in der Suche gilt pro 100 g, bei Getränken pro 100 ml. Und du speicherst so viele Favoriten, wie du willst.
• Beim Gewicht zeigt die Statistik den Durchschnitt der letzten 7 Tage.
• Zieh auf Heute oder in der Statistik nach unten, und Intake liest Apple Health und iCloud sofort neu ein. Änderungen in Apple Health kommen auch von selbst an.
• Dein Fasten gleicht sich über iCloud mit deinen anderen Geräten ab.
• Zahlen und Daten folgen der Sprache in Intake, Uhrzeiten der 12/24-Stunden-Einstellung deines iPhones.
In dieser Version behoben:
• Egal wie du die Tastatur nach dem Eintippen schließt, dein Gewicht ist gespeichert, auch in Apple Health.
• „Änderung“ in der Statistik zählt ab der ersten Messung im Zeitraum.
• Änderst du ein Gewicht oder eine Messung, steht in Apple Health nur der neue Wert.
• Auch mit deinem eigenen OpenAI-Schlüssel zerlegt Intake AI deine Mahlzeit in ihre Zutaten.
• Die Statistik bleibt mit großer Schrift gut lesbar.
• 1 Portion, 2 Portionen: die richtige Mehrzahl in jeder Sprache.
• Der PDF-Bericht öffnet sich in einer Vorschau.… more - ✏️Intake: Calorie Counter & Log: app got smalleriOS261 MB → 86 MB (-67%)

Fixed in this version:
• iCloud sync is more reliable: changes from your other devices arrive by themselves within seconds. Update Intake to 2.7.4 on all your devices.
• An entry from Suggestions logs an amount and the calories that belong to it, every time.
• Water from a widget, your Apple Watch or Siri is counted exactly once.
• The complication on your Apple Watch shows your numbers shortly after every change on the iPhone.
• Burned in Stats shows your activity calories as Today does, and below it how much of them counts toward your target.
• A recipe marked as a drink counts toward your water goal when you log it.
• When you delete your search word, the search stays open and you just keep typing.
• Your recipes show their photos when you add food, as in your Library.
• With Apple Health as your calorie source, your goal stays based on your resting energy and no longer jumps to an estimate.
• 1.75 portions stay 1.75, also when you edit an entry later.
• Today, Stats and your food lists stay readable with large text and Display Zoom, and long names get more lines.
• After a glass from the widget or Siri, Intake does not remind you to drink right away.

Neu:
• Reis und Nudeln gekocht abwiegen: Bei Reis, Nudeln, Quinoa, Hirse, Buchweizen und Linsen wählst du bei einer Grammangabe Roh oder Gekocht. Intake rechnet die Nährwerte um, und der Eintrag zeigt, wie du gewogen hast.
• Rezepte nach Fertiggewicht: Wieg das fertige Gericht, trag es als Fertiggewicht ein und stell die Portionen ein, wie du willst. Die Nährwerte der Zutaten verteilen sich auf dieses Gewicht, pro Portion und pro Gramm.
• Deine gesamte Gewichtsveränderung: Die Gewichtskarte auf Heute zeigt, wie viel du insgesamt ab- oder zugenommen hast. Das Startdatum legst du unter Einstellungen, Körperdaten fest.
• Dein ganzer Gewichtsverlauf: In der Statistik zeigt Alle deinen Gewichtsverlauf über alle Jahre, auch den aus Apple Health übernommenen.
In dieser Version behoben:
• Was du hinzufügst, steht auf Heute und bleibt dort, auch während Intake im Hintergrund synchronisiert.
• Intake schreibt alles, was Apple Health erlaubt, auch wenn du einzelne Nährwerte dafür ausgeschaltet hast.
• Die Jahresansicht der Statistik zählt jeden Tag zusammen, ihre Summen passen zu Monat und Woche.
• Die Statistik rechnet mit den Tagen bis heute. Mahlzeiten, die du schon für spätere Tage geplant hast, verändern deine Durchschnitte nicht.

New:
• Photos of your food: take or choose a photo for any entry, product or recipe. It sits at the top of its page and next to the entry on Today, and it comes along to your other devices through iCloud.
• A report you can read: the PDF export is laid out in portrait, with every entry of every day and the totals up front. For a chat with an AI, export the same report as Markdown.
• Tablets and capsules: portions go down to 0.01 g, so a tablet or a capsule gets its real weight.
• Nutrients per portion: create a product with the values per portion, per tablet or per bar, just as they are printed on the pack. Intake works out the rest.
Fixed in this version:
• Swipe to another week and its dates are there straight away.
• Keep Intake open past midnight or come back the next morning, and Today moves on to the new day.
• A quick entry can be changed to grams, and it stays in grams when you switch the drink option off.
• The Lock Screen, widgets and Siri log into the meal that fits the time of day, and the product page lets you pick another one.

New:
• A new look for Today: refreshed, more compact and more modern, with more room for what you came for. You picked the direction in a poll on Threads.
• Ready for iPhone Duo: Intake is at home on iPhone Duo. Folded, it is the iPhone you know. Opened, it is a layout built for the whole surface.
• iPad and large screens: on large screens Intake really uses the room it has. Today, the Library and Stats have completely new layouts for it.
• Native navigation on iOS 27: Intake uses the system's own tab bar. It feels familiar, reacts faster and carries iPhone Duo with it. On iOS 26 nothing changes.
Improved:
• Siri logs weight and food: say "Log my weight in Intake" or "Log food in Intake", then the number. Siri understands decimals such as 84.3 and knows the foods from your library.
• Faster between days: moving between days runs smoother, whether you swipe or tap in the week strip, and turning the device keeps the day you were on.
Fixed in this version:
• The week strip opens on the current week and changes only when you swipe it or tap Today.
• Delete a workout in Garmin, Apple Health or another app and Intake takes it out of your burned calories.
• On iPad the scanner's camera image follows the way you hold the device, in Split View too, and photos for Intake AI arrive upright.
• Open the scanner straight from the Lock Screen or a widget and Back takes you out of the food view.
• Log your weight with Siri or on the Watch and it shows on Today right away.
• Scan a product again and Intake takes the checked values from our database.
• Titles and values in the share gallery are back in the normal text colours.… more - 🆕Intake: Calorie Counter & Log released on Google PlayAndroid

About Intake: Calorie Counter & Log
Intake is a minimalist calorie tracker for people who simply want to track their food — a fair one-time purchase, no gamification, and no unnecessary nutrition advice.
What Intake can do:
* Log calories quickly and easily to support healthy weight loss
* Daily overview with your goal, consumed calories, and remaining calories
* Weekly budget: calories you don't eat one day stay available for the rest of the week
* Track meals such as breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks
* Intake AI: add food to your meals using a photo or text
* Log an AI estimate as one meal or every detected ingredient separately — each with its own weight and calories
* Correct estimates in place: adjust ingredients, calories, and portion size without rewriting
* Widgets for even faster logging
* Scan nutrition labels and let Intake AI fill in the values automatically
* Create your own recipes for quickly logging homemade meals
* Product search & barcode scanning
* Intermittent fasting
* Water tracking to help you drink enough
* Food database based on Open Food Facts
* Optional Apple Health integration for activity calories
All without an account — your data stays on your device.
Intake AI is an optional add-on for anyone who wants to log food even faster. Take a photo of your meal or describe it, and Intake AI tells you exactly which ingredients it contains and how many calories your food has. When creating your own meals, you can also scan a nutrition label — Intake AI fills in the values for you automatically.
Alternatively, you can use your own API key from ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. This includes photo logging, the text chat, and the full ingredient breakdown; correcting an estimate in place stays exclusive to Intake AI.
Intake AI is designed with generous fair use, so the feature remains reliable and affordable for everyone.

For anyone who wants a calm, beautiful app that feels like iOS — not like a fitness game.

Intake. Track. Done.
Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
What Intake can do:
* Log calories quickly and easily to support healthy weight loss
* Daily overview with your goal, consumed calories, and remaining calories
* Weekly budget: calories you don't eat one day stay available for the rest of the week
* Track meals such as breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks
* Intake AI: add food to your meals using a photo or text
* Log an AI estimate as one meal or every detected ingredient separately — each with its own weight and calories
* Correct estimates in place: adjust ingredients, calories, and portion size without rewriting
* Widgets for even faster logging
* Scan nutrition labels and let Intake AI fill in the values automatically
* Create your own recipes for quickly logging homemade meals
* Product search & barcode scanning
* Intermittent fasting
* Water tracking to help you drink enough
* Food database based on Open Food Facts
* Optional Apple Health integration for activity calories
All without an account — your data stays on your device.
Intake AI is an optional add-on for anyone who wants to log food even faster. Take a photo of your meal or describe it, and Intake AI tells you exactly which ingredients it contains and how many calories your food has. When creating your own meals, you can also scan a nutrition label — Intake AI fills in the values for you automatically.
Alternatively, you can use your own API key from ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. This includes photo logging, the text chat, and the full ingredient breakdown; correcting an estimate in place stays exclusive to Intake AI.

Latest updates
2.8.1
Thank you for using Intake!
New:
• Weekly budget: whatever you don't eat one day stays available for the week, and a dinner out evens out over the other days. Turn it on under Settings, Calories, Daily and weekly goals, and spread it automatically or by hand.
• Month calendar: tap the calendar on Today. Every day shows its ring in green, orange or red, and you see how many days ended up in each colour.
• The new Intake AI card: your photo, the calories in large type, the macros on one line and every ingredient in a table. Choose "One meal" or "Ingredients separately" right on the card.
• Calories left, always in view: when you add food and in Intake AI, a small ring at the top shows how many calories are left for the day. Tap it for protein, carbs and fat. You can turn it off under Settings, Appearance. After each entry it briefly shows what you added, then counts down.
• Reminders and Live Activity: reminders still arrive if you don't open Intake for a few days, and tapping one takes you to the right place. "+250 ml" logs your glass right from the notification. The fasting Live Activity keeps moving on its own.
• Widgets and Apple Watch: the "Calories Left" and "Calories Eaten" widgets look like the ring on Today. Water and weight from your Watch or Siri land in Intake and Apple Health right away, even with the app closed.
• Help for every feature: the help button in Settings and "Learn more" lead to a step-by-step guide for every feature.
• iPhone Duo: half open, the columns of Today and Stats meet exactly at the fold.
Improved:
• Every search result now has a plus: one tap logs a serving. The big number in search is per 100 g, or per 100 ml for drinks. And you can keep as many favourites as you like.
• For weight, Stats shows the average of the last 7 days.
• Pull down on Today or in Stats and Intake reads Apple Health and iCloud again right away. Changes in Apple Health also arrive by themselves.
• Your fasting syncs to your other devices through iCloud.
• Numbers and dates follow the language you set in Intake, times follow your iPhone's 12/24-hour setting.
Fixed in this version:
• Foods and drinks without calories now log reliably.
• However you close the keyboard after typing your weight, it is saved, in Apple Health too.
• "Change" in Stats counts from the first weigh-in of the period.
• Edit a weight or a measurement and Apple Health keeps only the new value.
• With your own OpenAI key, Intake AI breaks your meal down into its ingredients too.
• Stats stays easy to read with large text.
• 1 serving, 2 servings: proper plurals in every language.
• The PDF report opens in a preview.
2.8.0
Danke, dass du Intake nutzt!
Neu:
• Wochenbudget: Was du an einem Tag nicht isst, bleibt dir für die Woche, und ein Abend mit Freunden gleicht sich über die anderen Tage aus. Du schaltest es unter Einstellungen, Kalorien, Tages- und Wochenziele ein und verteilst automatisch oder von Hand.
• Monatskalender: Tipp auf Heute auf den Kalender. Jeder Tag zeigt seinen Ring in Grün, Orange oder Rot, und du siehst, wie viele Tage es in jeder Farbe waren.
• Die neue Intake-AI-Karte: dein Foto, die Kalorien groß, die Makros in einer Zeile und jede Zutat in einer Tabelle. Direkt auf der Karte wählst du „Eine Mahlzeit“ oder „Zutaten einzeln“.
• Übrige Kalorien im Blick: Beim Hinzufügen von Essen und in Intake AI zeigt dir oben ein kleiner Ring, wie viele Kalorien dir heute noch bleiben. Tipp darauf für Protein, Kohlenhydrate und Fett. Unter Einstellungen, Darstellung schaltest du es aus. Nach jedem Eintrag zeigt er kurz, was du hinzugefügt hast, und zählt dann herunter.
• Erinnerungen und Live-Aktivität: Erinnerungen kommen auch, wenn du Intake ein paar Tage nicht öffnest, und ein Tipp öffnet die passende Stelle. Mit „+250 ml“ trägst du dein Glas direkt aus der Mitteilung ein. Die Live-Aktivität beim Fasten läuft von selbst weiter.
• Widgets und Apple Watch: Die Widgets „Kalorien übrig“ und „Kalorien gegessen“ sehen aus wie der Ring auf Heute. Wasser und Gewicht von der Watch oder über Siri landen sofort in Intake und Apple Health, auch bei geschlossener App.
• Hilfe zu jeder Funktion: Der Hilfe-Button in den Einstellungen und „Mehr erfahren“ führen zu einer Anleitung für jede Funktion, Schritt für Schritt.
• iPhone Duo: Halb aufgeklappt treffen sich die Spalten von Heute und Statistik genau am Falz.
Verbessert:
• Jedes Suchergebnis hat jetzt ein Plus: ein Tipp, und die Portion ist eingetragen. Die große Zahl in der Suche gilt pro 100 g, bei Getränken pro 100 ml. Und du speicherst so viele Favoriten, wie du willst.
• Beim Gewicht zeigt die Statistik den Durchschnitt der letzten 7 Tage.
• Zieh auf Heute oder in der Statistik nach unten, und Intake liest Apple Health und iCloud sofort neu ein. Änderungen in Apple Health kommen auch von selbst an.
• Dein Fasten gleicht sich über iCloud mit deinen anderen Geräten ab.
• Zahlen und Daten folgen der Sprache in Intake, Uhrzeiten der 12/24-Stunden-Einstellung deines iPhones.
In dieser Version behoben:
• Egal wie du die Tastatur nach dem Eintippen schließt, dein Gewicht ist gespeichert, auch in Apple Health.
• „Änderung“ in der Statistik zählt ab der ersten Messung im Zeitraum.
• Änderst du ein Gewicht oder eine Messung, steht in Apple Health nur der neue Wert.
• Auch mit deinem eigenen OpenAI-Schlüssel zerlegt Intake AI deine Mahlzeit in ihre Zutaten.
• Die Statistik bleibt mit großer Schrift gut lesbar.
• 1 Portion, 2 Portionen: die richtige Mehrzahl in jeder Sprache.
• Der PDF-Bericht öffnet sich in einer Vorschau.
2.7.6
Danke, dass du Intake nutzt!
In dieser Version behoben:
• Wenn du Intake auf mehreren Geräten nutzt, bleibt der Abgleich über iCloud jetzt stabil, auch wenn du auf zwei Geräten gleichzeitig etwas änderst.

What users say about Intake: Calorie Counter
From the 6 most recent Google Play reviews in the US.
Users highly value the app's clean interface, lack of ads, and one-time purchase model that respects privacy. However, recent complaints highlight confusing unit measurements for height/weight and a bug forcing all portion sizes to 100g.
Mixed but leaning positive (67% of recent reviews give 4–5 stars). People like it for privacy, and good value.
What people like
- Privacy & data: “that makes other tracking apps so annoying”
- Price & subscription: “It would still be worth it if it cost twice as much”
- Design: “Great app, UI is well designed and easy to use for calorie and activity tracking”
About Intake: Calorie Counter
Pay once. Track forever.
Intake is a calorie counter you buy one time. No ads, no account, no monthly fee for the app itself. Open it, log your food, get on with your day.
Most calorie counter apps are free until they aren't: a paywall on the third screen, a subscription to see your own history, ads between meals. Intake takes the opposite deal. One purchase, every feature below included.
WHAT YOU GET
• Fast calorie logging, a couple of taps per food
• Daily overview with target, eaten, burned and remaining
• Meal tracking for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks
• Macro tracker for protein, carbs and fat, plus sugar, saturated fat, fiber and salt
• Barcode scanner for packaged food
• Food database powered by Open Food Facts, over 3 million products
• Your own foods and recipes, with per-portion nutrition calculated for you
• Water tracker
• Weight tracker with trend over time
• Intermittent fasting timer with scheduled or manual eating windows and reminders
• Home screen widgets for today's calories
• Weekly, monthly and yearly statistics for calories and macros
• PDF reports you can export and share with a coach or doctor
• Dark mode, 15 accent colors and alternative app icons
WORKS WITH HEALTH CONNECT
Intake can optionally read from Health Connect so your calorie budget reflects what you actually did today:
• Active calories burned
• Total calories burned, as a fallback for wearables that only report totals
• Exercise sessions, type and duration
• Steps and walking or running distance
• Height and weight
You decide whether all activity counts toward your target or workouts only, and how much of it to add.
YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
Intake works offline and keeps your food diary on your device. There is no account to create and no server holding your data. Backup to your own Google Drive is optional and encrypted with a passphrase only you know. Nothing is sold, and nothing is shared with advertisers.
BUILT FOR ONE JOB
Tell Intake whether you want to lose, maintain or gain weight and it works out your daily calorie target from your age, height, weight and activity level. Adjust it whenever you like. There are no streaks to protect, no badges, no coach telling you what to eat and no social feed. It is a food diary and macro tracker that counts calories and then gets out of the way.
OPTIONAL: INTAKE AI
Logging a meal from a photo or from a sentence of text is part of Intake AI, a separate optional subscription. Every feature listed above is included in the purchase price and works without it. You can also bring your own API key instead of subscribing.
Intake. Track it. Done.
