02What it does
Everything you need,
nothing you have to fight.
01 / 04Logging a meal should take seconds, in the units your kitchen uses.
Just say what you ate
Type it in your own words — name a brand or a portion and it uses those values instead of guessing. Or photograph the plate when typing is not an option.
› 2 rotis, paneer curry, one glass of milk
Portions that match your kitchen
One tap for katori, bowl, cup or glass. Rotis and idlis count by the piece, not by the gram.
6,410 foods, fully offline
Indian dishes, survey foods and packaged staples — searchable with no internet and no AI cost. Every entry is Atwater-validated.
Note
No barcode roulette
Scanning found about one Indian product in five, so it was dropped for a bundled catalogue that always answers.
Note
Atwater-validated
Every entry’s macros reconcile with its calories — no rows that quietly disagree with themselves.
03The science
Most apps invent
a number. We cite ours.
Your calorie burn is not a black box. Resting rate comes from Mifflin-St Jeor — or Katch-McArdle when the app knows your body-fat percentage. Treadmill and running use the ACSM equations. Everything else uses MET values from the Compendium of Physical Activities.
And you can check it. A Help screen inside the app renders the actual formulas, the rest-density curve for strength work, and the MET table — so the arithmetic is yours to audit, not ours to assert.
How a session is costed
MET = VO₂ ÷ 3.5
- Resting metabolic rate
- Mifflin-St Jeor (1990) · Katch-McArdle
- Treadmill & running burn
- ACSM Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription
- Everything else
- Ainsworth et al. — Compendium of Physical Activities
- Food macros
- Indian Nutrient Databank · USDA FNDDS
Strength work uses a continuous rest-density curve anchored to Compendium code 02054 — 5.05 MET at a hard pace, 4.12 when you are resting long between sets.
04Built for Indian kitchens
Nobody weighs
their sabzi.
So Crumb Count does not ask you to. Log in the units your kitchen already uses — a katori of dal, a glass of milk, two rotis — and the grams are worked out behind the scenes.
Barcode scanning was tried and dropped: it found roughly one in five Indian products. A bundled catalogue of dishes and packaged staples replaced it — Atwater-validated, and fast with no signal at all.
One tap sets the portion
“2 rotis, dal and a glass of milk”
Try it — tap a portion above. The total recomputes on the spot, no second AI call and no waiting, exactly as it does in the app.
05Muscle balance
See what you
keep skipping.
Every logged set is resolved to one of thirteen muscle regions and shaded by volume across a front and back body map. The gap in your programme stops being a hunch — under-trained regions simply stay dark.
Illustrative week. The darkest regions below are the ones you have been skipping.

06Without opening the app
The best tracking app
is the one you barely open.
Rest timers that run themselves, a live session on your lock screen and in the Dynamic Island, and ten widgets that log a meal in one tap.
07A look inside
Five screens you’ll
actually live in.
01 / 05
The day, in one ring.
Calories consumed against a target that already accounts for what you burned. Macros underneath, meals below, nothing else competing for attention.

Questions
The things people ask.
How accurate is photographing a meal?
A photo gets you a fast estimate — good enough for daily tracking, and far better than skipping the log entirely. It is an estimate, not a measurement: portion size in particular can only be guessed from an image, so every item stays editable. Tap any line and set the real amount in katori, grams or pieces, and the totals recompute instantly. For staples you eat often, the built-in 6,410-food catalogue gives you published reference values instead of a guess.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Crumb Count is offline-first — your data lives on your phone, and the food catalogue, workout logging, live gym sessions, widgets and streaks all work with no connection at all. Photo and text meal logging need internet, since that analysis happens in the cloud. When you sign in, your history syncs so a new phone or a reinstall restores everything.
Why is it built around Indian food?
Because most calorie apps are not. Barcode scanning finds roughly one in five Indian products, so it was dropped in favour of a bundled catalogue of Indian dishes and packaged staples. Portions are the ones people actually use — katori, bowl, glass, piece — instead of asking you to weigh a sabzi in grams.
Where does the calorie-burn number come from?
Published, peer-reviewed models rather than an invented formula. Resting rate uses Mifflin-St Jeor, or Katch-McArdle when it knows your body-fat percentage. Treadmill and running use the ACSM equations. Everything else uses MET values from the Compendium of Physical Activities. Settings includes a Help screen that shows the actual formulas and charts, so you can check the arithmetic yourself.
Are my meal photos stored anywhere?
Not by us. A photo is sent for analysis and then discarded — never saved to your phone, your account or our cloud storage. Only the resulting food items and numbers are kept. To be precise about the part we do not control: the AI provider that analyses the photo may hold a copy briefly for abuse monitoring — up to 30 days for OpenAI, 7 for Anthropic — before deleting it, and your content is not used to train their models. The Privacy Policy spells this out in full.
Do I need a subscription?
Everything that runs on your phone — the 6,410-food catalogue, workout and gym tracking, the calorie-burn models, widgets and streaks — is planned to stay free. A Pro tier will cover the AI meal logging, since that costs money to run each time you use it. Pricing is indicative until launch; see Plans above, and join the waitlist to hear the details before release rather than after.
Which phones does it support?
iPhone and Android. Android needs version 8.0 or newer, which is what Health Connect requires. There is no separate Apple Watch or Wear OS app, though the app can read workout and step data your watch has already written to Apple Health or Health Connect.
