It's built around training: targets based on how you train, calories burned from Apple Health next to what you eat, smart reminders that protect your streak, and a friends-only feed where you and your gym buddies keep each other honest.

Take a photo or describe the meal. GainzMate identifies each food and its portion, takes the nutrition from food databases where it can, and shows you every item to review and edit before it's saved.

No. AI results are estimates. Actual nutrition can vary based on ingredients, preparation, and portion. GainzMate output is not medical advice.

Yes. You can change the grams, calories and macros of any detected food, remove items, or resize the whole meal before saving.

Yes. Manual entry is fully supported.

Precision Scan is an optional photo mode on iPhones with a LiDAR Scanner (iPhone 12 Pro and later Pro models). It measures the food on your plate in 3D and blends that with the photo estimate to get portions closer. It still gives estimates, not lab measurements. On other iPhones, photo logging works without depth. How Precision Scan works

Yes. GainzMate has local dish packs for 17 countries: the UK, Greece and Cyprus, the US, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Turkey, India, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Brazil, Mexico, Canada and Australia. Your pack is picked from your iPhone's region and can be changed in Settings.

Yes. Scan packaged food for label nutrition per 100 g, per serving or the whole pack, and combine several scanned products into one meal.

Yes, if you choose to connect it. GainzMate reads (never writes) your steps, workouts, body weight, and active and resting energy. It uses them for calories burned, training-day targets, the activity level behind your plan, and your weight trend. Your Health readings stay on your iPhone.

Yes. With Apple Health connected, Today shows Burned so far: your resting plus active energy for the day. Without Apple Health, GainzMate estimates your burn from your profile and labels it as an estimate.

Tap Burned so far on Today to open Energy Balance. It shows what you've eaten against what you've burned, your deficit or surplus so far, and where the day should land at your target. In Insights, Energy Balance charts it over days, weeks and months. What you burn never changes your targets on its own. More on Energy Balance

Yes, as an estimate. Your plan shows the weekly change your pace should bring. Energy Balance estimates the weight change behind your calorie balance for any period, shown next to your Apple Health weigh-ins. Scale weight also moves with water, food and salt, so treat it as a trend, not a promise.

Not directly. GainzMate connects to Apple Health only. If your watch or fitness app writes workouts, energy or weight to Apple Health, GainzMate can use that data from there.

Gain muscle, lose fat, maintain, and recomp.

From your age, height, weight, activity, training and goal, using Mifflin-St Jeor (or Katch-McArdle if you know your body fat percentage), plus your training burn and chosen pace. Protein is set first, and every target stays editable.

Yes. Turn on carb cycling to move carbs to training days, from your planned days or workouts in Apple Health, while your weekly total stays the same.

Yes. Goals and targets are editable at any time.

Yes, for manual entry, recent meals and saved favorites, which sync when you're back online. AI estimates and barcode lookups need a connection.

Add friends by username, share meals to your Crew feed, like, give kudos, comment and reply, and compare consistency, streaks and protein on friends-only leaderboards.

Only friends you've approved. New meals are shared by default. Switch any meal off when you log it, hide it later, or change the default in Settings.

AI processing needs your consent. Apple Health readings stay on your iPhone. Meals are shared only with approved friends, with a switch on every meal. Usage analytics are opt-in, and you can export or delete your data in Settings.

Yes. Export your meals, goals, saved meals and profile as CSV or JSON from Settings, and delete your account and its data from Settings too.

No. GainzMate launches as a premium-only app: one subscription, GainzMate Pro, that includes every feature. There is no free tier, but GainzMate Pro starts with a free trial, so you can use the full app before you pay anything. Pricing, billing period, and trial length are shown on the paywall before purchase, in your local currency.

Everything: AI photo and text logging, Precision Scan on supported iPhones, barcode scanning, personalized targets, Apple Health and Energy Balance, Insights, the Crew feed and leaderboards, and smart reminders. There is no free/Pro feature matrix to compare.

GainzMate Pro starts with a free trial for new subscribers, with full access to the app. It is a standard App Store introductory offer: when the trial ends it converts to a paid subscription charged to your Apple ID, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the trial from your App Store subscription settings. Trial length and price are shown on the paywall before you start, and eligibility is determined by Apple.

If you keep the subscription, nothing changes. If you cancelled during the trial, you keep full access until the trial ends, and after that a GainzMate Pro subscription is required to keep using the app. Your account is not deleted, so subscribing later picks up where you left off.
