About Mahlzait
Mahlzait is an AI calorie counter and macro tracker. You set a calorie target, macro goals and a weight goal, then add meals by taking a photo, scanning a barcode, speaking, typing, using AI chat for meals that need extra context, or searching foods manually. It then shows calories, protein, carbs, fat and other nutrition facts so you can review them yourself.
The app is built for people who want to count calories without typing every ingredient, including homemade food, restaurant meals and mixed plates. Beyond meal logging, it includes weight tracking, fasting tools, daily insights, daily notes and the option to add your own recipe photos. It runs on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, and the listing shows three languages. The app is free to download with in-app purchases, and the listing mentions a seven-day free period.
