nibFIT is an AI-powered fitness and nutrition tracker for iPhone. You log meals (by photo, voice, barcode, or text), log workouts, and get a personalised daily calorie target, macro breakdown, and an AI-generated coaching tip. It's the knowledgeable friend who keeps it real — without the unsolicited life advice.

nibFIT offers a 7-day free trial with full access to everything. After that, it's a subscription — monthly or annual (annual works out significantly cheaper). No features are hidden behind a second, sneakier paywall.

Not yet — nibFIT is currently iOS only. Android is on the roadmap. If you're on Android and you're keen, the best thing you can do is tell your iPhone-owning friends about us so we can grow fast enough to justify the build.

Great question. The short version: nibFIT uses AI to analyse meals from photos and voice, so you spend less time typing and more time, well, living. It also gives you a personalised AI coaching tip daily and builds you a workout plan from scratch. MFP and Cronometer are great databases — nibFIT is more like a smart assistant that happens to know a lot about nutrition. See our full comparison for the detail.

Very good for common meals; impressively good for complex dishes. The AI is trained on a vast range of foods and gets better over time. It won't nail every homemade stew to the gram, but it's consistently in the right ballpark — and for most people, "right ballpark" beats "didn't log it at all" every single day.

Yes. Open the camera from the Log Meal screen and hold it over any barcode — it scans automatically (no button press needed). We look up the product in Open Food Facts. If it's not there, we'll ask you to type the name and let the AI handle it. We don't let the AI guess from a barcode number — that would be nutritional fiction.

Absolutely. Tap the microphone option and say something like "two scrambled eggs, a slice of sourdough, and a flat white" — nibFIT will parse it and return macros. Ideal for logging on the go, post-workout, or when your hands are covered in protein powder.

nibFIT keeps your 10 most recent meals and lets you favourite the ones you eat regularly. Tap the + button on any recent or favourite meal and it's re-logged instantly — macros are scaled by your serving size. Zero AI calls, near-zero effort.

Yes. In the camera view, switch to Label mode (the toggle in the header) and point at the nutrition panel on any packet. nibFIT reads the label and logs per-serving macros directly. No typing required — perfect for the snacks you're slightly embarrassed about.

We use the Mifflin-St Jeor equation to calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) from your weight, height, age, and gender — then multiply by an activity factor based on how active you told us you are. On top of that, we apply your chosen calorie deficit or surplus (set during onboarding). Your target updates as your weight changes.

Daily Calories is your personalised target (calories in vs. your goal). Actual Calories shows your real-time balance: Calories Consumed (logged meals) minus Calories Expended (BMR + exercise, sourced from Apple Health if connected). If you've connected Apple Health, expended calories use your actual active energy data — not an estimate.

Yes, on iOS. Go to Profile → Integrations and toggle on Apple Health. nibFIT will request permission to read your Steps and Active Energy Burned data. Your step count and active calorie charts will appear on the home screen. We read data; we never write to Health without your knowledge.

Yes. During onboarding you tell us your goal (fat loss, muscle gain, etc.), how many days a week you train, how long you have, and whether you've got gym access. We use AI to produce a personalised weekly plan. You can swap days around or edit individual exercises directly in the app.

Yes. Cardio entries are logged with type, intensity (Light / Moderate / Vigorous), and duration. nibFIT uses MET values to estimate calories burned — or uses your Apple Health active energy if that's connected and you prefer the wrist-based number.

We collect the data you give us: your body metrics, meal logs, workout logs, and app usage. Meal photos are sent to our AI proxy (not stored after analysis). We don't sell your data. Full details in our Privacy Policy.

No. When you take a photo of a meal, the image is sent to our AI proxy server for analysis only and is not stored or retained after the response is returned. Your actual meal log (the text, macros, and date) is stored securely in your account.

You can cancel any time via Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions on your iPhone, or through the App Store. Apple handles all billing — we can't charge you a penny outside the App Store. Cancelling stops future charges; your access continues until the end of your current billing period. See our full cancellation guide for step-by-step instructions.

Go to Profile → Account → Delete Account in the app. Your account is deactivated immediately and all personal data is permanently deleted within 30 days. You'll receive a confirmation email once the hard deletion is complete. If you change your mind within that 30-day window, email contact@nibfit.app and we can restore your account.
