Most weight loss apps assume you can correctly estimate your TDEE, calculate macros, log every meal accurately, and stick to a plan you built yourself. That works for some people. Most quit by week three.
Swoodie is built to remove those failure points. BMR/TDEE is auto-calculated. Daily targets are personalized. Logging is photo-based. And the AI Meal Planner builds plans that already match your deficit — so adherence is the only thing you have to do.
Why weight loss tracking usually fails
- Generic 2000-calorie targets that don’t match your body
- Manual logging burnout (10 minutes after every meal)
- Macro math anxiety when you’re not a nutrition nerd
- Meal planning takes longer than the actual cooking
- Plateaus that nobody explains how to break

Personalized BMR/TDEE auto-calculation
Enter age, height, weight, activity level once. Swoodie sets your daily calorie + macro target for cut, maintain, or bulk.
Blood Sugar Score on a scanned meal
Two lunches can hit the same calorie number and still feel completely different by 4pm. A scan comes back steady, moderate or spiky — estimated from carbs and fibre — so you can spot the meals that leave you raiding the cupboard. An estimate and a tracking signal, not a medical reading. Free.
Coach Ollie’s daily insight
One short observation drawn from what you actually logged — the thing that keeps week three from being the week you quit. Free; deeper pattern-spotting is Premium.
Product Check — packaged-product quality score
Scan any packaged product's barcode for an instant 0–100 quality score and see the additives and labels behind it, so you can compare options at a glance. Free scan + score; better swaps and Ask AI are Premium.
Ready-made diet plans
Load a curated 7-day plan into your planner and tweak it to taste — a structured week of meals without building one from scratch.
Step Counter
Connect Apple Health or Health Connect and your daily steps add calories back to your goal, so an active day gives you a little more room to eat. Step trends, streaks and step badges are free on every plan — a steady nudge that keeps the deficit honest.
AI photo + barcode calorie counter
Log meals with a snap or scan — no database hunting, no kitchen scale required for most foods.
AI Meal Planner that hits your deficit
