About this app

Track every breadcrumb.

Gretl isn't a calorie counter that scolds you. It's a personal health coach that reads the trend instead of judging your day. Tell it what you ate in your own words — "two eggs and toast, and a coffee" — and Gretl does the arithmetic, follows the direction you're heading, and offers gentle, optional coaching. No streaks to break. No shame, ever.

LOG IN PLAIN WORDS
Describe a meal the way you'd say it out loud, or snap a photo of the plate. Gretl turns it into calories and macros — no database to search, no barcodes to scan, no portion dropdowns. Save the meals you repeat and log them again in one tap. Ate half? Adjust it in a tap.

TRENDS, NOT VERDICTS
One big dinner isn't a failure and one light day isn't a win. Chart your last 7, 14 or 30 days and watch the direction instead of the noise. Your calorie and macro targets start from the Mifflin-St Jeor equation and adapt to the energy balance your own data shows — arithmetic, not vibes. The numbers are deterministic; the coach interprets them, it never invents them. When a target should move, Gretl asks first.

A COACH, WHEN YOU WANT ONE
Ask a question, log by chatting, or get an honest read on how your week is going. It's there when you want it and quiet when you don't. Everything that costs us nothing is free forever — logging, history, trends, weigh-ins, water, the watch apps, export. Gretl Pro is an optional subscription that raises your daily coaching allowance.

ON YOUR WRIST
Log by voice from Apple Watch or Wear OS, or just ask Siri — no phone needed. Today's rings are one glance away.

MEALS AREN'T MORAL EVENTS
This is the whole philosophy. No shame language, anywhere. No "you blew it" notifications. No nagging. Gretl is a tool you open when you want it, not something that pesters you. It reduces the decision fatigue around eating while keeping you fully in control.

TRACK WHAT MATTERS TO YOU — AND ONLY THAT
• Meals, from plain words or a photo
• Weight, as a trend instead of daily noise
• Workouts and activity
• Water — on by default, off in a tap
• Cholesterol — off by default, on if you care
Turn one off and it's gone everywhere: the home screen, your charts, the watch, its reminders. Your history is kept, so turning it back on brings it all back.

NOTIFICATIONS YOU ASKED FOR
Every reminder ships off. Turn on food or water reminders at times you choose, and nothing else ever fires — no streaks, no guilt, nothing because you went quiet.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your data is yours: export it whenever you like, and erase yourself completely from Settings → Delete account, which removes your account and everything in it.

NOT MEDICAL ADVICE
Gretl offers decision support, not medical advice. For eating disorders, diabetes, medications, or unsafe goals, please talk to a qualified professional. Gretl is built to defer to one when it matters.
