We're a team of nutrition scientists, engineers, and fitness enthusiasts united by one goal: make calorie tracking so fast and accurate that anyone can maintain a healthy lifestyle.
We believe that healthy eating shouldn't require a nutrition degree or hours of manual logging. That's why we built kCal AI — an AI-powered calorie tracker that works as fast as you eat.
From a college dorm room project in 2022 to a platform trusted by 5 million users across 150 countries, our mission has never changed: make nutrition tracking effortless, accurate, and accessible to everyone.
Our six core values guide every decision we make
Every feature we build is designed to genuinely improve the health outcomes of our users, not just rack up engagement metrics.
We push the boundaries of AI and nutrition science to make tracking faster, more accurate, and more insightful every day.
Our users shape our product. Every major feature started as feedback from our community of health-conscious people worldwide.
Healthy living shouldn't be a luxury. kCal AI is free to start, available in 38 languages, and works on any device.
Our AI model is trained on millions of food images and validated by registered dietitians to ensure medically sound recommendations.
Your health data belongs to you. We are transparent about how we use data and never sell personal information to third parties.
