What is Pofu?
Pofu is a free-to-start calorie counter for women on iPhone and Apple Watch. You take a photo of your meal and its AI food scanner estimates the food, the portion, the calories and the macros, and you can edit anything that looks off. Pofu is made with women in mind: if you opt in to cycle awareness, it shows your cycle day and phase, and in the luteal phase it tells you a jump on the scale may be water instead of blaming you. It also offers intermittent fasting windows without pressure, protein and macro tracking, grace days that keep your streak alive when you miss a day, and a widget and Apple Watch app. Pofu is a tracking tool, not medical advice, and anyone can use it.

Count calories from a photo
Open the camera, snap your plate, and Pofu’s AI food scanner estimates what is on it, how big the portion is, and the calories and macros, in seconds and with no weighing. Every estimate shows a confidence score, so you can see how sure the AI is.
These are estimates, not lab measurements. Check the portion and edit anything that looks off: when you fix something once, Pofu remembers the correction.
No photo? Say what you ate (“two eggs, a slice of toast, a spoon of peanut butter”), scan a barcode, use typo-tolerant search, or tap a favorite or a saved meal template. Voice logging is free once a day (10 a day with Pofu Pro); barcode, search and manual logging are free and unlimited.
Cycle-aware tracking, on your terms
Most calorie apps apply one rulebook to everyone. Pofu can take your cycle into account if you want it to.
- Cycle tracking is off by default. Turning it on is your call.
- With it on, Pofu shows your cycle day and phase.
- In the luteal phase, a jump on the scale is not read as “you gained weight”. Pofu tells you it may be water.
- Go over your target and you get your weekly balance, not a scolding.
- Your cycle data stays on your device.
Pofu does not predict your cycle and is not a medical tool.
Intermittent fasting without pressure
Pick a 16:8, 14:10, 18:6 or 5:2 window and let the intermittent fasting timer keep your eating window in view, with Live Activities for a live timer. A shorter window still counts as a win.
Turn on cycle awareness and Pofu adapts instead of pushing: it does not push a long fast during your luteal phase, and 14:10 is offered as a perfectly good choice. Fasting stats are part of Pofu Pro.
Fasting is not right for everyone. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have a history of disordered eating, follow your doctor’s or dietitian’s advice first.
Track macros and protein
Pofu tracks protein, carbs and fat for every meal and shows clean charts of where your calories come from. A 2-minute quiz builds calorie and macro goals around your goal, pace and lifestyle, whether that is weight loss, maintenance or simply healthy eating. Advanced analytics are part of Pofu Pro.
Grace days, not guilt
Missed a day? A grace day keeps your streak alive, with no punishment. Go over your target and you see your weekly balance instead of a scolding. The flexible weekend plan (Pofu Pro) leaves room for Saturday brunch.
Widget, Apple Watch and Apple Health
See your remaining calories on a widget without unlocking your phone, log from Apple Watch in two taps, and keep your fasting timer live with Live Activities. Pofu also works with Apple Health.
Privacy: cycle data stays on your device
- Cycle tracking is off by default. If you turn it on, your cycle data stays on your device and is never sent to analytics.
- Your data belongs to you: export or delete it anytime.
- Pofu is designed to keep your meal, goal and progress records on your device whenever possible. When you use an AI feature such as photo logging or voice logging, the photo, text or voice transcript needed for that request may be sent to Pofu’s AI providers, Google (Gemini) and Anthropic (Claude), to generate the result.
- Purchases are handled by Apple.
