built an app that logs calories the way you'd describe a meal to a friend

hey, i'm the developer behind TypeCal. quick story: i was a chronic on-again-off-again calorie tracker. every app I tried died for me the same way — i'd eat a plate of something normal like my regular meal, and then spend five minutes searching a food database trying to find something that matched. after a while i just stopped logging. so i built the app i actually wanted. you just type what you ate, the way you'd say it out loud. "2 eggs, toast, black coffee." that's the whole interaction. the app turns it into a clean nutrition log with calories and macros, and you get to review and fix anything before it counts. nothing saves until you approve it. a few things it does that i use every day: \- type, snap a photo, scan a barcode, or just say it out loud — whatever's fastest for that meal \- paste a recipe link and it imports the whole thing, then it stays in your saved meals so next time it's one tap \- recipe ingredients flow into a grocery list automatically \- progress charts that fill in on their own — calories, macros, water, weight \- syncs with apple health \- offline logging that syncs when you're back \- it shows you its math, so when a portion looks wrong you tap the number and fix it instead of re-logging honestly the whole idea is that logging shouldn't take longer than eating. if you try it and something annoys you, tell me — i read everything and i'm still building this thing week by week. it's free to download on iphone: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6781808536
