About Roughly Calories
Roughly Calories is a calorie tracker that feels like a note, not a dashboard. Point the camera at your plate, say or type what you ate, or scan a barcode. Roughly estimates calories and macros, you confirm with one tap, and you're done. No account, no feed, no streaks. Your entries stay on your phone. The estimate is deliberately rough and honestly labelled: every AI estimate carries a “≈”, and exact numbers appear only where they are exact, with barcode, search and manual entry. Enough to see where you stand without weighing everything. WHAT YOU GET • Photo: take a picture, adjust the amount if it looks off, done • Speech: say what you ate, including the amount • Text: type what you ate, like “150 g of skyr with berries” • Search and barcode: Open Food Facts, no AI involved • Manual entry, always, also offline • Today at a glance, history by day • A daily goal from your weight, your direction and your activity WEIGHT, WATER AND APPLE HEALTH All free. Log your weight and see the curve of the last 30 days; a row on Today shows the latest value. Count glasses of water there too. A daily goal for water is optional, and Roughly never recommends an amount. If you like, connect Apple Health: Roughly writes your calories and macros to Health, reads and writes weight and water, and reads the energy you burned. It's optional, and everything works without it. For a sharper daily goal you can add your height, year of birth and sex; skip them and the rough calculation stays. WHAT YOU DON'T GET No social features, no recipe browsing, no micronutrient tables, no badges. And no nutrition advice: Roughly estimates, it doesn't recommend. FREE AND PREMIUM Three AI entries a day are free, one of them by photo. Premium raises that to thirty a day, up to ten of them by photo; the yearly plan starts with a free trial. Manual entry, search and barcode are always unlimited. PRIVACY No account. Photos and descriptions are sent for the estimate; we don't store them. Your meals, weight and goal never leave your phone. Health data stays between Roughly and Apple Health on your phone.

What’s new
Version 1.0.5 · Updated October 16, 2026
New: log your weight and see how it develops over the last 30 days. Count glasses of water on Today. A daily goal for water is optional. Connect Apple Health if you like: your calories and macros go to Health, weight and water go both ways, and the energy you burned shows on Today. A sharper daily goal with your height, year of birth and sex, if you want it. History now shows the last seven calendar days.
