Is Calolean free?
Yes. The free plan includes AI food scanning, the chat coach, on-device form analysis, the full exercise library and unlimited manual logging, with a generous daily allowance on the AI features. It is supported by clearly labelled sponsored cards. A Premium plan that removes ads and raises the AI limits is in development.
Does it understand Indian food?
That is the reason it exists. Most calorie trackers are built around Western portions and ingredients, so logging a roti-sabzi-dal plate means three awkward searches and a guess. Calolean is built around mixed Indian plates, home cooking and regional dishes, and it reads a whole thali from one photograph.
What happens to the photos I upload?
A food photo is compressed on your device, sent to Google's Gemini model to be identified, and then discarded. We do not keep a copy and it is never used to train anything. The nutrition numbers it produces are what gets saved to your log.
Do my workout videos get uploaded?
No — and this is a real architectural difference, not a promise. Pose detection runs entirely inside your browser using MediaPipe. What leaves your device is a list of joint angles: numbers, with no image data attached. The video itself never touches our servers.
How accurate are the calorie estimates?
Treat them as good estimates, not laboratory measurements. A photograph cannot see how much oil went into the pan. Accuracy is high enough to make consistent daily tracking useful — which is what actually changes outcomes — and you can correct any portion before it is saved.
