About this app

CalZA is the calorie and nutrition tracker built for South Africans. No more guessing whether a "small" pap is 100g or 300g, no more hunting for Woolies, Checkers and Pick n Pay products in databases that only know American brands. CalZA gets it right the first time, in kilojoules and grams, the way SARS-approved food labels show it.

WHY CALZA

Every other calorie app on the Play Store was built somewhere else. They don't know boerewors from bobotie. They can't tell you the kilojoules in a Steers Wacky Wednesday burger, a Nando's quarter chicken, a Chicken Licken Hotwings 6-pack or a Spur Cheddamelt steak. They convert everything to ounces and cups. CalZA was made in Cape Town, for the way South Africans actually eat — from braai to bunny chow, from pap and wors to a Woolies ready meal on a Tuesday night.

FEATURES

• Photo logging — Snap your plate. Our AI identifies South African meals (pap and wors, bunny chow, vetkoek, melktert, biltong, koeksisters, sosaties, malva pudding) and gives you accurate calories, kilojoules, protein, carbs and fat in seconds.

• Voice logging — In a hurry? Hold the mic and say "two slices of brown bread with peanut butter and a banana." We log it. No typing, no scrolling.

• Barcode scanner — Scan SA supermarket products from Woolworths, Checkers, Pick n Pay, Spar, Shoprite, Food Lover's Market and Dis-Chem. We match local barcodes, not just imports.

• Personalised plan — Tell us your goal (lose weight, gain muscle, eat healthier, manage diabetes), your activity level and your body, and we calculate your daily calorie and macro targets using clinically validated formulas.

• Streaks and motivation — Build a daily logging habit with streaks, weekly wrap-ups and gentle nudges that respect your time. No spam, no shame.

• Restaurant database — Calories for Nando's, Steers, KFC, McDonald's, Wimpy, Spur, Ocean Basket, RocoMamas, Mugg & Bean, Vida e Caffè, Kauai, Col'Cacchio and more, with portion sizes that match what you actually order.

• Frequent meals — Your most-logged foods stay one tap away. CalZA learns your routine and groups repeated meals so you stop re-adding the same sandwich every day.

• Offline-first — Logs save locally and sync when you're back on Wi-Fi or data. Load shedding won't break your tracking.

• Privacy that respects you — Your food data stays yours. We never sell it. You can export or delete your account at any time from inside the app.
