What it does
Log a meal in the time it takes to photograph it
Point your camera at any meal and VitalHelm's AI identifies each food on the plate, estimates realistic portions, and fills in calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber, sugar and sodium. You stay in control: review, adjust, then save. Typed it instead? A one-line description like “2 boiled eggs” gets the same treatment.
Photo calorie counter
Full macro breakdown from a single photo — with honest confidence labels on anything the AI wasn't sure about.
Recipes from your fridge
Scan your fridge or pantry; get recipes that fit your remaining calories, respect allergies, and use what's expiring first.
A coach that knows your day
Daily tips and chat grounded in your actual numbers — protein gaps, streaks, workouts — never generic advice.
Diet quality grade
A Nutri-Score style A–E grade for what you ate — food quality at a glance, separate from calorie targets.
Syncs with your activity
Steps and workouts from your phone or watch raise your daily energy budget automatically.
Meals for everyone at the table
Ask for kid-friendly, pregnancy-safe, elderly-friendly, diabetes-friendly or heart-healthy recipes — treated as hard rules, not suggestions.
A quick tour
Eight screens, end to end
From the first photo to your weekly progress — the same previews we made for the app stores. Swipe through.
Speaks your language
The whole app in 20 languages — AI included
VitalHelm follows your phone's language automatically, or any language you pick. Not just the buttons: meal analyses, recipes and coaching answers come back in your language too.
The same screen, following the phone's language.
Private by design
Your food diary belongs on your phone
Meals, weights and settings live in a database on your device — not on our servers. Cloud backup is strictly opt-in, tied to your account, and deletable from inside the app with one tap. No ads. No third-party trackers. Meal photos never leave your phone except for the moment of AI analysis, and we don't keep them.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
How does photo calorie counting work?
Take a photo of your plate and VitalHelm's AI identifies each food, estimates realistic portion sizes, and returns calories plus protein, carbs, fat, fiber, sugar and sodium. You review and adjust everything before it's saved — the AI proposes, you decide.
Can VitalHelm suggest recipes from what I already have?
Yes. Photograph your fridge or pantry and VitalHelm builds an ingredient list, then generates recipes that fit your remaining calories and protein for the day, respect your allergies and diet, and can be filtered for kid-friendly, pregnancy-safe, elderly-friendly, diabetes-friendly or heart-healthy meals.
Which languages does VitalHelm support?
Twenty: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Russian, Italian, Dutch, Turkish, Vietnamese, Thai, Indonesian, Malay and Polish. The whole app — including AI answers — follows your language.
Where is my data stored?
On your phone, by default. Your meals, weight history and settings live in a local database. Cloud backup is optional and tied to your account; you can delete the backup or the whole account from inside the app at any time. There are no ads and no third-party trackers.
Is VitalHelm medical advice?
No. VitalHelm gives general nutrition information and estimates to help you track what you eat. It's not a medical device and doesn't replace advice from a doctor or registered dietitian.
Where can I download VitalHelm?
VitalHelm is free to download on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android.
