GrammiFree calorie counter for iPhone with no ads and no account
Many calorie counters are free to download, but “free” can mean very different things once you start logging. Some limit how many foods you can scan, some show ads between meals, and some ask for an account before you can log anything. Here are five things to check, and how Grammi handles each one.
1. Is daily logging free, with no limit?
The food diary is the part you use every day, so it matters more than any extra feature. Check that you can log every meal, every day, without a trial running out or a cap on entries. Some apps keep the diary free but move search or daily totals behind a subscription.
In Grammi: logging every meal is free for good: search, manual entry and daily totals, along with your own goals, weight, water and the last 7 days of charts.
2. Is barcode scanning limited?
Scanning the barcode on a package is the fastest way to log, which is why some apps cap it at a few scans a day on the free plan, or make it paid. Scan a few products from your kitchen before you decide.
In Grammi: barcode scanning is free with no daily limit. If a product is not found, you photograph its nutrition label and Grammi reads the values (here is how).
3. Are there ads?
Ads in a food diary are more than an annoyance: they slow down logging, and logging is the habit you are trying to build. Check the App Store listing and use the app for a day before you rely on it.
In Grammi: there are no ads, on the free plan or on Pro.
4. Do you need an account?
An account means an email address, a password and your eating history on someone else’s server. Some people want that for syncing; many just want to count calories.
In Grammi: there is no account and no sign-up. Open the app and start logging.
5. Where is your data stored?
Your food diary says a lot about you. Read the privacy section of the App Store page and the app’s privacy policy to see what is collected and where it goes.
In Grammi: your food diary is stored on your iPhone, not in an account. The privacy policy explains it in plain words.
